Jerking off and porn has existed since the dawn of time. The information age is just an amplifier, which is a more general problem that needs to be addressed (e.g. through ways of increasing general resilience like physical exercise, spirituality, meaning etc.). However, completely shutting down your sexuality is not the answer. Internet porn is not the only source of hyper-salient stimuli in your life. You're fixating on sexuality for some other reason (unless you're actually living in a cave).

That is what a wet dream is. Why are you afraid of your feelings?

Just do it ?

Incel dogma.

I'm going to do a masters with emphasis on neuroscience research, then research. If that doesn't work out, probably clinical psychologist.

"Don't go to the toilet. It's such a waste. Real men retain their shit."

He is saying he wants both. He doesn't just want to have sex.

As I said, the last few moments have been easier. The endgame is that I get my degree, apply my skills, get a long-term partner and stop trying to prove myself for my parents. At that point, I might take up spirituality again. If the fear still persists, then I've got more work to do. I guess there is such a thing as too resilient for your own good.

Yes. Everything counts: sub-optimal posture, shallow breathing, tensing up my stomach, distractions. It's the main reason I'm on the forum so much. It takes a lot to maintain an ego.

I choose to eat differently in order to lower my baseline consciousness.

She wants him to stop watching porn because of her psychic whatever feelings and I guess jealousy. She is the one withholding sex. The guy is fine with having more sex. He just doesn't want to give up his porn.

I sort of wish it was like that. For the last 2 years, all up until the last few months, I've spent every waking moment of my life trying to reconstruct my old sense of self, because when the oppurtunity presented itself, I realized I was not ready to finally let myself go, but also in giving up on that mission of enlightenment, it ironically enough started forcing itself onto me. I could just be relaxing and doing nothing for a few seconds and I would automatically burst into an awakening experience, and I fear it so much. I gave up my daily meditation habit, my perfect health and diet, even my passion for music (because that also throws me into a meditative state), and I tried everything I could to get back. I'm sort of there now, and it sucks, but it feels much better than perpetually dying. But yes, the potential for a radical and permanent shift in consciousness is there, if only you're ready for it. I'm certainly the fuck not.

He said it's easier than having sex, not that he generally prefers it over sex. It's not like he is thinking during sex "I wish I could just masturbate instead". To treat masturbation as distinct from sexuality is ridiculous. I cba with this forum sometimes with how people constantly have to redefine common concepts to make a point. Like, just talk like a normal person Porn is not cheating. Porn is not going to steal your boyfriend or make him lose his loyalty to you. Worst case scenario, he will take longer to cum, which is a win-win. If you have more sex, then maybe he'll watch less porn as well. However, if you're going to withhold sex from him because he watches porn and then complain about not having enough sex, then that is your problem.

That is awakening in a sense.

No he didn't? Then why are you arguing that porn can replace sex??

Yeah no. Repressing your sexuality is dangerous business.

When he says there is no explanation for the rapid brain growth of homo sapiens, that is a bit inaccurate. There are many plausible explanations that make sense. I just think there is not a definitive answer of which explanation is the most plausible one or that accounts for most of the brain growth. Bipedalism freeing up the hands and causing a selection pressure for fine motor skills and advanced tool use. Hunting and firemaking leading to better nutrition (eating meat, cooking food). Brain growth leading to narrower birth canals, which causes babies to be born underdeveloped with smaller heads and needing more care, thus creating a selection pressure for better social skills between parents and young, leading to complex communication and language, which also requires a bigger brain, which then creates a positive feedback loop (bigger brain => need better social skills => need bigger brain).

because she doesn't want to have sex with him when he has watched porn within the last couple of days. She does it to herself.

By which metric?

"the diagnoses" is ambiguous.

Diagnoses are not fundamentally permanent. Statistically, some diagnoses are very stable. But no, psychiatrists aren't a bunch of evil simpletons who just want to paint you under one brush for the rest of your life and medicate you until you die. That is an inaccurate stereotype. For some diagnoses, you need to fit say 7 out of 10 symptoms to be diagnosed, and especially if you're an edge case, it's likely that a diagnosis may change over time given a re-assessment.

Everybody has had the thought of correlating MBTI with SD, but only you took it seriously.

Nobody says psychiatric diagnoses are permanent entities ? "Only incurable diseases are real" – Razard86 ?

I just re-watched this gem: the debate that made Mr. Girl famous. It's probably the best example I've ever seen of Tier 2, because it's distilled to its essence without the highfalutin hyper-intellectualism of the Game B crowd, and you also get to see it interact with a Tier 1 perspective in an organic environment, which creates a great contrast. Mr. Girl: "empathize with everybody." Vaush: "SLAY NAZIS!"

STOP ?
