>>536226392so this means looking at woman (on screen or real life) causes brain damage for men?this explains a lot.
>>536226392your thread will get deleted so fastcia and glowie mods want us to be incels forever pacified by porn
No such thing as porn addiction.
>>536226392if my mom had been a gooner instead of a drunk, she wouldn't have beaten me so much and then she wouldn't have developed cirrhosis and died. Gooning is far better.
>>536226392>pleasure is addictiveFuck scienceniggers
>>536226392I didn't need a bunch of nerds to tell m jerking off all day is bad
>>536226609yeah they are poisonous
>>536226392Watch how angry the coomers get if you suggest they go outside and form normal human relationships, rather than lock themselves in a goon cave and beat their dick into a deformed mess watching other people have sex. It's like gollum with 1 oversized forearm.
>>536226392Insha'allah, we shall ban all haram things such as pornography, alcohol and pork products.
>>536226921it is crazy how every thread like this has 1-3 insane coomers that rage for hours about porn being bad
>>536226764You're brown
Is this why i don't into porn anymore while being a raging alcoholic
>>536226392>study shows>experts say
>>536227147Considering you're a fucking avatarfag, you're full of shit.Remove yourself. You are incapable on anonymity.
>>536226653excellent post, rabbi
>>536226392I goon AND take shrooms/lsd. Kill off those weak old neurons and create some new stronger neurons, always moving forward.
>>536226921
>>536226609Hc or just solo pics? What's wrong with looking at attractive women?
>>536226921why not just write something like that instead of posting fake science?
>>536226392>addiction lights up the same part of the brain as addiction You’re a real brainlet
>>536226392>study shows
>>536226653Youre just too young to understand this stuff
>>536226392>addictionBut porn is the only media that shows women making an effort to please men.
>>536226921Watch how angry simpnats get when you tell them they need to deal with actual problems like no-fault divorce, family court, feminism and female suffrage before they talk about banning porn
Now show us the MRI activation of a henpecked married man in a dead bedroom
>>536226392Anv vaxaholism
>>536226653Anything can become an addiction when it has negative impacts on multiple others areas of life. Even necessities like work, food, exercise can become addictions.
>>536227787If studies showed water was good for you would you stop drinking it? You just don't want to agree with anything
>>536226392>people who watch a lot of porn like watching pornHoly shit, this is groundbreaking.
its not the porn its the fapping to the porn that is hurting youyou can probably watch it all you want if you never fapped. While it might still do something to some degree i guarantee you its triggering the massive chemical blast of orgasm that is fucking with people.This also probably causes some kind of chronic disassociation as well since you are doing this while not being focused on your own body and actions as one would be while doing normal sex or even non porn based masturbation.Basically do not combine porn and fapping.
>>536226392I like looking at naked women.
>>536226392I'm a healthy pornographer.
>>536227665>Hc or just solo pics?woman in general, if you look at them, interact with them (or images of them) then you get brain damaged.
>>536226392women want to be the reward, motivation, and pleasure? men will be our goys. men will be our simps!
>>536227915>you aren't allowed to use your brain and determine things for yourself>you have to be a retarded NPc goycattle like me and let the STOOODIES do all your thinking for you>no one is ever lying to you the STOOODIES are always honest 100% of the time
>>536227916Buddy, that observed brain activity has implications on brain health and hormonal balance.
>>536228230It doesn't take nerds in lab coats to figure out watching pork all day is bad for you painting me as a leftist doesn't make being a faggot coomer ok
>>536226392I am severely addicted to porn, particularly femdom. It’s basically my primary interest. Everything else in life feels dull in comparison to this level of dopamine. I procrastinate everything in life except porn it seems. I don’t know how to quit and escape this insanity. I’ve tried prayer, semen retention, etc. yet I always circle back to porn. I’ll jerk off for 5 hours sometimes like a disgusting goblin. 20 years ago I was content with just fapping to hot girls but it didn’t take hours of my life away in a single day. I am ashamed of the man I’ve become and every day I feel like I let my past and future self down. God help me figure out my path in life. God grant me the strength to triumph over this evil within me
>>536226762Exactly The rug burn on your dick and detached penile ligament crippling your erections semi permanently will tell you everything Although, having strong abdominal muscles and preforming L sit hangs can sort of, rehook it unless it's actually torn and your dick is just free hanging off your body in the suit
>>536226392Has anyone here ever had a severe porn addiction and quit looking at porn? What were the results of abstaining? Always wondered if watching porn so much is fucking my mind up as much as I think it is.
>>536226609Thats not what it says
>>536226392Sex is the point of live or we go extinctiont Go back to redit or WEF Cunt
>>536228298Honestly same minus the fendom fetish
>>536228459Jerking off to women on a screen isn't sex
>>536227665In a nutshell, it activates the motivation and reward systems, which leads to pleasure, which reinforces behaviors. Since the behavior it reinforces doesn't accomplish the purpose of the instinct, which is having sex with an actual woman to satisfy the instinct to attempt reproduction, it reinforces the behavior of gooning to porn instead. This instinct becomes two competing drives, the instinct to reproduce, and the pursuit of pleasure (via porn), which leads to the cycle of addiction. Porn hijacks the reproductive instinct through easy pleasure, which reinforces the consumption of porn instead of the pursuit of sex, which further prevents the instinct from being satisfied, further reinforcing destructive behavior (consuming porn instead of having sex), which causes the psyche great distress, just like any other addiction.
>>536228346I feel better after stopping but most i can go is a week before im back at it
>>536226392This doesn't matter because you'll just eventually run out of porn that provides stimulation.
>>536228153But I can't do gay shit, best I can do is trannies
>>536228294Look fag, you're expending energy against people who know they're being lied to rather than against where all the lying is constantly coming from, and that makes you a fag leftist whether you think you are or not.
>>536228319I’ve had ED since early 20s. Don’t goon like a psychopath. >>536228346I went two months without an orgasm but I was still peeking and edging. I am a disgusting animal
>>536228596The key is to find a woman who is "perfect" to you, for me that's danica collins, I've been fapping to her since I was 18 back in 2008 and I still fap to her today
>>536228346>quit porn>still be a loser incel in a society that's stacked against you, and mocks you for it, and penalizes you if you try advancing in a civil mannerwho cares?
>>536228459>Oy veyy the WEF wants to shut down us pornographers! How anti-semitic!What world do you live in bud?
>>536228519I don't want to have kids but I enjoy having organs, I know that makes me a hedonistic degenerate but I'm not hurting anybody
>>536228346Define a severe porn addiction.
>>536228508
>>536228519but what if we can’t have sex?
>>536228298I estimate you are about 30-35 since you seem to still have hope Also the fact you mention path in life leads me to believe you are either recently unemployed or have unstable employment On this, I would like to offer a thoughtHave you tried saying good things to yourself even as a joke? Even in a deranged sarcastic way >that was great I'm a genius : D >10/10 you lost 5 hours but there's still 10 left >I just gooned for half a day, wait till Guinness hear about this! Make light of it, but keep in mind the negative impact it has on your ability to function and focus on that whenever you feel a need coming on. Then say ok, I'll give in in 30 minutes, no an hour, no another hour And just keep pushing back on it without directly denying yourselfThen when you finally cave, note how much time you wasted struggling with your own thoughts. Associating the shame with that I feel is a lot more illuminating because then you realise you actively tried to control your behaviour and couldn't seemingly hijack your own body and prevent it from doing something. Maybe none of this shit will work for you or you already have tried but idk, just worth considering. Also when you aren't jorkin you need to consider your innocence. Ie stereotype the person you could picture yourself as without the darkness you live in plaguing your life. Do something you enjoyed as a child, go for a walk outside, just occasionally even to remind yourself of whenever you had a connection to reality that wasn't tugging off your weiner
>>536226392>>MRI scans of test subjects who admitted to compulsive pornography use showed that the reward centres of the brain reacted to seeing explicit material in the same way as an alcoholic’s might on seeing a drinks advert.What about the group that was not admitting to compulsive pornography use? What was their brains like on these scans?
>>536226392yeah its a terrible addiction but its not as bad as alcoholism
>>536228559Yeah same, I've quit a few times but never long enough for results besides feeling better about myself >>536228714No judgment, it's a bitch of an addiction honestly. >>536228761Completely fair but I'm more just wondering if it can help improve my mind. Society will always be a gutter but tired of my mind being one. >>536228861Looking at it multiple times a day. If you're a once a day guy I'd say that could be an addiction but I look at porn way more than I should. It actually was the main cause of my last relationship ending, straight up just couldn't quit sneaking off to look at it all the time.
>>536228714I've been there I actually fixed it partially with exercise Nobody ever tells you you can practically rip your own dick off for all intent but you canIt can dislocate, break, subluxate, bend, rip And you will lose a good amount of feeling from however it was damaged for quite some time
>>536226392It’s almost like addicts are addicts and the particulars don’t matter. They should be treated as they would for a congenital disease
>>536226392How hard is it to grow shrooms? Especially indoors
>>536229110How long before you saw improvement from exercise?
>>536228906Thank you. I appreciate the reply. Walks do help me. I just feel like there’s no guiding principle or joy in my life so it’s been a default to porn for years. I was even able to get laid a few years ago and I couldn’t even stay hard with her.
I mean this is just normal exposure to stimuli. I bet pokemon card collectors would have the same brain activation to seeing pokemon cards, cars ethusiasts to cars, etc.
>>536228943...AnonAre you retarded? The fucking OP image
>>536228892If you pay or extremely lower your standards, I'm talking the type of women that niggers fuck, you could have it. I'd rather fap to women I'm attracted to
>>5362292196 months or so Mainly core and abdominal stuff was helpful Like actual gymnastics tier shit, lost a bit of weight, started doing weird holds and leg raises and anything that put focus on stabilising muscles between my knees and chest Ie, leg abductors and adductors, L sits, forward tilted dips All took multiple exercises to build up to doing, but basically strengthening everything in this area kinda just gave me some coordination back down there if that makes sense rather than like, beating a dead weiner
>>536227665>What's wrong with...?Apparently it makes you too stupid to read the previously provided information before asking a question.
>>536226392Ha! The very center of the brain as well.
>>536228708Saying porn is bd is not a lie though you are being disingenuous because you have a porn addiction
>>536226392My yellow porn dot is bigger than yours so i win
>>536229507I just really wanted to post that pic but I don't think its a stupid question
>>536229105I think if you care about looks, you should stick to porn, unless you can get into a relationship with a woman you're really attracted to. If not you will keep going back to porn for your fix
>>53622890610/10 effortpost, solid advice
>>536229404sorry don't got time to read the rest of the post
>>536229640For me it's not really looks, it's variety. I've trained myself to need to see tons of different women to nut because I flip through porn while I'm beating off. Gave myself like arousal ADD or some shit.
>>536229506Gonna give this shit a try, just exercise and work out when I want to jerk it. Pretty sure my pelvic muscles are fucked from laying around jerking off instead of fucking.
>>536226392hoti'm literally addicted to bbc and sissy hypno
>>536229500yeah and if people really cared. stop treating men like shit, women should stop acting like bitches, and give support systems to people that suffer from addiction
>>536228298why do you feel shame? for what?
From now on try only climaxing to this photo, it will clear your porn addiction.It is called Decooming or Kikemaxxing
>>536230050Or Annespanking
there's no such thing as an alcoholic. it's a slur made up by uptight salvation army faggots in the 1800s to try and shame people. crossniggers aren't happy unless they're making someone else miserable.
>>536226392Now show how a brain reacts to some soi reacting to a Star Wars trailer. How about a fat person seeing a chocolate ad?
>>536229730I'm the opposite, I only fap to a few different women. I don't watch hc anymore, and I follow a ton of whores on instagram but most don't do it for me, I keep coming back to the same few woman. But I'm 36 37 in July so my sex drive is lowered
>>536226392Stop with the anti semetism, just because jews run porn doesn't mean this is done deliberately as cyclelogical weapon
>>536226392Wow how strange that porn and videogames despite being around and easily accessible for generations magically became a serious ussue around the same time that social media started running psychological experiments on it's users.How strange.Almost like social media companies are trying to shift the heat for their societal damage off of themselves
>>536226392lol coomer brain will probably shrink and give them dementia. I'd rather be a drunk or a junkie. at least that's kind of interesting. coomer is just dark... weird. like I knew a guy in college that practiced magic and also watched porn as entertainment and he was fucking weird... he had all the traits of a classic incel. probably voted Kamala too. he was very much leddit atheist with a fedora type
