i mean i agree but part of this discourse is like. the fact that “porn addiction” isn’t really a thing or at least, the prevalence of what people describe to be porn addiction has been incredibly overblown, the fact that those who report being addicted to porn aren’t necessarily consuming more porn than others but just have increased feelings of shame around their consumption…

No your right it’s just this shame people feel about porn and your own body. I watch porn like maybe once a month. It’s fun and nothing like hooking up so never understood the addiction part

i mean that’s the sort of addiction part right, i think the people who are legitimately struggling with watching too much porn to the point where it is interfering with their work, hobbies, relationships with others, etc (the ACTUAL point where something is an addiction) are probably struggling with something else in their lives and are using it as a coping mechanism, just the way someone might eat to feel good or do drugs to feel good. so i can definitely understand that

Yeah ig I’m more so saying I’m these guys are super insecure and such that I can’t imagine them jerking it all the time fr

but a lot of people battling with “porn addiction” already just have an unhealthy—or let’s say, puritanical—relationship with their bodies and with sex and sexuality, especially as it does concern how they view women.

This is literally such a solid point like, I’m not a fan of the shame associated with watching porn or even jorkin it. Used to make me feel like an overweight person who is trying to diet and exercise but just binge ate junk food like cheating on my diet. Also can someone please talk about wet dreams when you do stop beating it or is it just me?

no it’s not just you, the whole thing is masturbating has many functions besides just feeling good. i’m trying to remember if the wet dreams themselves happen for a specific reason or not but i do know that yeah, one of the functions of masturbating is to get rid of old sperm/semen so…your body will find some way of clear that shit out!

to be clear i don’t personally have a penis i just remember watching a vid on someone exploring nofappers and that those guys would have nocturnal emissions after a long time of not busting either. i don’t know that there is a solution other than to masturbate. LOL otherwise you’re just gonna have to roll with those nights. if it’s anything i doubt it happens often but?

like i mean i get wanting to stop watching porn to an extent but why are you trying to stop masturbating altogether? genuinely asking

You would be surprised how often it can lmao smh but idk if it’s common and I’m tryna stop cause my performance during the deed (with a partner) took a downward decline n saw on Reddit that it might be the solution. I’m gonna see if moderation does it ig. I def thought you was a dude 💀

many such cases. i mean what do we mean by performance tbh? on one hand i know for me if i masturbate every day and multiple times a day i get less sensitive and the orgasm can hit less hard (and even then it depends) but it only takes a few days for the sensitivity to reset. in terms of a penis though, at least if you’re giving, i think that can probably be both a strength and a weakness cause you can last longer but you also might not be feeling things as much yourself.

Not staying hard long enough. for clarity sake I am straight.And yeah it was a an advantage before like I could go for hrs but recently it became like I’m not even finishing myself let alone the girl. I’ve not had this problem before idk. Thought it might be a lack of attraction but I’m not sure anymore.

Idk if a few days is enough but I’ll have to see. I definitely don’t thin you should be doin it multiple times a day tho. Even for a girl im sure your nerve endings still get fried over time right

Anonymous #2 1w

it’s interesting if it started somewhat suddenly, it does make me think it might be something else but i do support you stopping for a bit to see what happens!! i know also that choking your hog too tight or doing it really dry can get you acclimated more to that set of conditions than what an actual vagina can feel like (not as tight and much wetter) so yeah. you could masturbate with different conditions or stop altogether and see what that does

not a girl either 😉 and nope, your nerve endings getting fried is a complete myth. you definitely lose sensitivity, but again, after a good few days of not doing it (maybe longer)—or of just masturbating in a different way that doesn’t stimulate the same nerves, things reset.

i’m sure penises are a bit different since they don’t have as many nerve endings everywhere but in principle it should generally be the same 🤔
