Porn and Masturbation Addiction

OP, do you think fapping without looking at porn makes it any better?

I mean what do u think is worse: the process of fapping itself or the fact that you're fapping over 2 random people faking a love scene?

I can only relate my own experience but I couldn't get as hard, or stay hard if I tried to fap without porn. I think masturbation itself is not so bad, provided that you have a real person in your thoughts when you are choking the chicken. Having said that, as soon as I knew that pulling on my knob gave me a high, I was doing it all the time, so I was probably addicted to just masturbation too.

In terms of relating it to the theory that it desensitizes your brain's reward circuitry, I would say that masturbation on its own is not even in the same league as masturbating to modern-day porn.

Surprised nobody else has admitted to porn addiction here? There's gotta be someone out there who wants to get the skeleton out of the closet. Feels good man. Group hug anyone?

I've wondered this too. I stopped looking at porn because ultimately its kinda pointless when I might as well use that time for money or meeting girls but... Sometimes you hang around a hot girl and for whatever reason can't fuck... I'm still horny so fapping is tempting ;)

This is probably a situation where fapping is normal and won't harm you, assuming you are doing it whilst thinking of this hot girl. God damn cock teases.
 
Here is my problem: I do want to go for 30, 60 or 90 days without masturbation if that's going to re-wire my brain chemistry properly and make me stronger, sharper, less anxious and more masculine, etc, BUT I have read tons of studies that said ejaculating 2-3 times a week was good for you and lowers your risk of prostate cancer by like 30%.

WTF do we gotta do now? Stop masturbating for our brain's health, or keep mastrubating for our prostate health? Are we all fucked no matter what?

This reminds me of studies that say that drinking 1-2 glasses of wine per day is good for your heart. Other studies say that even 1 glass of alcohol per day increases your risk of mouth, oesophagus, stomach and liver cancer.

I hate science. I hate it with all my heart.

My Italian next door neighbour is 75, has been drinking 2 BOTTLES of home made red wine a day for 40 years. He's never taken any medication ever, and he went to the doctor for a checkup recently.

The doctor says "you're the healthiest 75 year old I've seen in a long while. But I want you to stop drinking so much wine."

"Why? He says"

"Because studies say it's bad for you...."

Well I never had an actual Addiction, per se, Especially because in my formulative years I could never wrest control of the family VCR long enough to really watch porn around the house often. ;)

But between the internet and Marriage there were a few years when I did get a bit complacent and not be interested enough to chase chicks from time to time and it's generally a bad thing, I agree.

But then again, it has its' good points too... If you're studying for an exam or working on a time-sensitive project, it's by FAR better to rub one out when needed than it is to let your hormones distract you.

So as long as our bodies keep trying to force us to procreate, (I hope to see that problem solved within my lifetime) then I'd say having teenagers addicted to porn is kind of a good thing as long as they are educated about the alternative.

Heck, If I was a parent and my young son was getting his first erection, I think I'd throw him a Real Doll and allow a few of the more tame tube sites through his firewall. ;) It's certainly get better grades if he's not always worried about girls at school.

If you haven't read it already, I suggest you read The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. It's a fucking awesome book, and one chapter in it will show you clearly why that's a Bad Idea.
 
Honestly, as usual moderation is probably the best solution here. If you're not getting laid on a regular basis (2-3 times a week) it's probably healthy to jerk it every now and then. Why? My guess is that without any stimulation at all you'll eventually lose strength down there. When giving up porn addiction, sure you might feel great as you regain strength that was lost from battering your dick 2-3 times a day.. but then you'll probably lose it again with zero workout whatsoever over time.

Plus I've heard stuff about maintaining prostate health.. but unsure exactly what they mean about that.

Good luck waiting for a consensus among scientists on what the best way to go is.. M.D.s still can't even agree on the healthiest way to eat (Vegan, Low-Carb, or mixed).
 
That video is gold!

While doing research for a project I'm working on, I've also come across studies that say that brains get desensitized by porn and over time seek out harder and harder types to get a shot of dopamine.

Basically: When you first start watching porn a simple pic of a naked chick gets you off. Then watching a video of a simple bj will do. Shortly thereafter regular sex won't do and folks migrate to anal... from there depending on the individual it gets harder and harder and people lose a sense of what's 'normal'. Next thing you know it's gangbangs, bukkake, S&M, Ass to mouth, bisex, bestiality and midgets that get the brain to fire that dopamine....

I've read that Buddhists believe that the longer you go without ejaculation the more 'wisdom' the practitioner has. In other words... Thank god I'm not Buddhist!

Could be, but who knows.. it could also be the opposite. Let's use Catholic Priests as an example. Why is it that the one christian religion that has their priests practice celibacy ALSO has the most perverted fucked up priests out there - raping little boys, etc? Could be because w/out any sexual release those fuckers thoughts just get more and more fucked up and perverted.

Honestly, this one subject could be a whole threat hijack. Saying Catholics are the most perverted is like saying Pit Bulls are the dogs most likely to bite. To me its primarily media hype and what folks like to focus on. (There are unfortunately some sick priests out there - I just think they can be found anywhere).

Don't want to discuss this though.. since it takes away from OP's thread.

I don't think the position (Priests, Scout Leaders, Coaches) turn the person into a pervert, it is the fact that they know these positions will allow them to be able to take advantage, and they are drawn to them.
