Manhood: How to Be a Better Man-or Just Live with One - Terry Crews

I love Terry Crews, he made some youtube videos speaking against pornography and how it's ruining us. Good guy.

Indeed, just opened up one of his vids about it just because he's so real and honest about it. You can see that he went through the same shit you are going through

What if I don't want to deal with the hassle of having a relationship or making moves for just sex but I still need to empty my balls since it's a biology. What if I fap once per day to porn, how is that bad for me? I have infinitely more time for knowledge than people who waste it for sex and relationships.

Pornography is to Alma Venus as a nine-year-old playing Counterstrike is to Dios Achilleus.

I know I gotta get off porn. But it's just too damn good.

It's the initial hurdle I can't get past. Abstinence gets so boring.

That reminds me, Richard Herring has done some stand up and books on porn distorting your view of your body. He had a great joke cum serious point on shaving your crotch to appear an inch longer.

I don't know those names so this was a waste of a post. You should learn to be more dialectical in your arguments and recognize that any discussion should be held simply as a form of transportation to the truth.
If you're in college or college age: this is, sadly, still very common among college students who think they're smarter than all of their peers. It's sad that you haven't addressed it already, and I'm sure that you've lost friends over it, assuming you made any.
I would make it a priority to either,
A) accept that you're not as smart as you think you are,
or B) if you're actually very intelligent, you should stop letting your arrogance cloud your logic - put your intelligence into areas where you will help yourself in the long run, and try to avoid making yourself out to be an intellectual.

You can do it man. Stop while you still can. I just experienced ED a week ago, and it was supposed to be my first time. Believe me, it's worth it to stop. I've been off since, and gonna go as far as I can!

Doesn't sound like you have a problem to me

After a while you will crave intimacy, it's the circle of life, you can put it off by jerking it to porn, but later it might hit you hard my man.

Not quite porn, but sex addiction, and frankly his behavior in the book isnt that far removed from a 5x a day jerk off habit.

Does anyone else rarely watch porn? I use pictures much more frequently than videos, but still not as often as just alone before I go to sleep. I can't concentrate when there's a video on, I feel distracted.

When exactly, I haven't had a gf in 8 years and I feel totally fine. I might be too autistic or something though I don't have a problem with normal social interactions at work.

pictures are boring af desu

you must not have many fun fetishes

I masturbate 3-4 times a day but I don't watch porn; I just use my imagination.

they let me fantasize more than videos

Do you wake up with boners at morning? Because an indicator of boner in mornings means you had a good sleep quality and your homonal levels are in check. Fapping to porn usually fucks this up for me

Haven't we always been jerking it to gay shit through history?

It's dubious as to whether or not we've had free and easy access to hardcore, high definition pornography catering to every conceivable fetish all "through history"

>he didn't start with the Greeks

Yes, I wake up with a boner most days of the week. In fact, my first fap of the day is usually with the boner that I wake up with.

Wow I didn't know there were still uneducated people on porn

stop watching porn

My diary desu, to be honest

What does this even mean? I keep seeing this on lit

Start with the greeks then you will understand.

Even if you are not religious, pray for strength the next time you are tempted to act immorally or view pornography. Honestly it will help you.

Remember in Infinite Jest when Don talks about how he had to get over himself and just pray every morning and night to be given strength to stop drinking? He keeps his shoes under his bed to remind himself. As soon as he gave up his pride and just did it he understood why it is done.

I don't have any problems with religious people, sometimes I actually admire true believers and honestly I'm not sure if there is a God but I'm just unable to take that leap of faith, I can't make myself to believe. I've tried numerous times but I can never devote myself to any religion, I always doubt.

Yes, I did read the Bible btw.

>get this feel at 22
>have to chose between spilling spaghetti all over the floor if I ever find a girl or becoming a wizard
If there's any underageds lurking here, take my advice and embarrass yourselves while you can still blame it on youth.

You mean go after grills will make you happier than becoming wizard?

I am 18 years old and I have never kissed a woman or done the sex. I desire intimacy but I am fairly satisfied with beating my meat to porn once every few days too

Acknowledging god is as simple as accepting there are powers greater than yourself.

If you really want to know whats up with porn addiction, you will have to read the newest research literature. Monographs are outdated even before they are printed.

Lucifer effect-zombardo
The same person that conducted the Stanford prison experiment has brilliant words about porn and gaming culture an d how the average teen male is being destroyed

And this leads to any religion how? Even atheists believe this.

zimbardo not fucking zombardo

>degenerate
fucking cucks

What is the connection between the Lucifer effect and porn? The Lucifer Effect is about how people can be induced to do violent and inhuman behaviour.

Baudrillard and Debord maybe? Even though they're a bit tangential to the subject they might give you a more critical perspective...

Perhaps some feminist theory?

The lucifer effect is another ted talk that zimbardo did, I think he referred to zimbardo's other ted talk, which goes in depth about pornography and gaming

There is a brilliant film called Shame with Fassbender about sex/porn addiction.
I also struggle with this shit, check out fortify program if you need help fighting it.

The Lucifer Effect is a book mate. Some tertiary video presentation of his work, is not the work.

>feminist theory
shut the fuck off numale

Man, Interrupted by Phillip Zimbardo talks plenty about the effects of porn. alsp, effects of vidya, social problems for males, plenty of stuff. pretty decent read but can certainly get repetitive

I stopped watching porn ama

Sure, an intimate relationship seems like something worth pursuing. There's happiness to be found in feeling like you understand and are understood by another person. Acquaintances are nice and all, but it's no long time substitute for getting to know someone over many years.

I don't have problem with porn, but I need substitutes, like pictures or models or other girls. Seems harmless, but it's like drinking beer instead of doing weed.

>please let me use modern buzzwords to describe all human history

>me @ 18

Now that I'm 21 I know I made a mistake

Haven't ejaculated since November but ending porn is difficult to me, proves it's an addiction in my book, at least to me. It's a huge shame too. As far as I can tell watching porn is one of my only vices in my life (being a bully is the other) but I'm working hard. This is the longest I've gone without ejaculation in my life and I admit I've come close to failing and jerking it to porn a few times but I've managers to stay resolute. Even if it's "bro science" or whatever anyone wants to claim it has definitely helped me a ton. Almost like my drive to succeed in life has come back after ten years of absence.

I just need a gf. Good thing class starts back Wednesday. Wish me luck boys.

You've at least held hands with a girl right?

I refuse to believe anyone is unironically handholdless past 12

Are there any good books about elderly women dropping acid and playing minesweeper for twenty hours set in the year 2003?
