Why is there a big hype about guys quitting porn?
It's fcking porn and dudes are acting like they are quitting heroin cold turkey. Why are these dudes freaking out over some pixelated titties as if it's some cult. Just jerk off.. finish.. and stop telling the whole world about it. Your cringe social anxiety isn't going to be cured if you stop touching your dick. If you can't jerk off to porn and still keep a hardon for your girl then you got some bigger issues boyo. Look at all of this.. it's ridiculous... https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/ https://www.nofap.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoFap https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-nofap-2013-11 https://upvoted.com/2016/01/23/the-no-fap-revolution-are-there-any-scientific-benefits-of-not-masturbating/ https://twitter.com/nofap?lang=en https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/women-who-stray/201503/the-nofap-phenomenon

  • I actually went through a psychology class in human sexuality over last semester at my university. There were a couple points they made as far as masturbation and porn go.

    1.) Masturbation by itself, even if done very often, will not damage health. Like I'm pretty sure there are no signs that show excessive masturbation will cause any permanent issues.

    2.) Masturbation can cause issues like erectile disfunction though for guys. Why? Guys tend to use more pressure in their grip or whatnot to where a woman feels different and can't stimulate them. This is reversible (via 4 weeks of no masturbation). To stop something from getting to this point, the professors actually recommended things like less pressure or using non dominant hand (yes, they actually gave us a lecture on this lmao).

    3.) Masturbation that causes erectile disfunction like this is often linked to porn addiction too. Addiction to porn can naturally disrupt things like someone's life and responsibilities. It can aid erectile disfunction too by creating unrealistic standards in guy's heads (i. e. if someone's type is some pornstar, they may not be able to 'get it up' when their real life partner looks different).

    I don't know particularly the specific scientific benefits of it. I mean-- even if there is a testosterone increase, that doesn't necessarily mean a sex drive increase. As far as I know, sex drive only decreases from levels of low testosterone, which can't get to that point via simply masturbating.
    However, porn addiction is real, and porn and masturbation go hand in hand. I won't say that porn, when in check, is bad. Heck, it was discussed in my class that it can even be beneficial for some couples who watch it together. However, addiction to porn (or really anything for that matter) is bad. So if the nofap challenge or whatever breaks that addiction, I consider it a good thing.

  • People try to say it's as addicting as heroin. Having been addicted to morphine for a couple years, going through hell getting off it, it pisses me off. I want to see anyone who's quit porn get addicted to a top tier opiate, then kick that and tell me about how "porn is like heroin". Some bullshit studies about how it's the same in the brain or something. As in, the compulsion to watch porn is as strong as the compulsion to do heroin. Well. I don't see people breaking into cars and robbing people for a subscription to Brazzers. I don't see them stopping whatever they're doing to get a porn fix every 3 hours. Contrasting porn to opiates is so fucking misleading. Even if the compulsion is as strong, mother fuckers really need to qualify that shit.

    But. I've stopped watching porn for 30 days. A couple months ago. Unlike morphine, it didn't have me shaking and quivering in bed, feeling like my bones were broken. Didn't have me sweating profusely and unable to sleep. Didn't have me wanting to cut my legs off, because it hurts so bad. Didn't have me crying randomly and feeling like I was going to die, or so anxious that I felt impending doom. Etc. Fuck.

    • Exceptionally well written.

    • Isn't morphine like the drug they give only to soldiers who are going to die on the battle field because the pain of their wound is too intense? Isn't it also given to people who are going to die in a hospital real soon to make their last few hours happy?

  • Because they think life's all about how much sex they get.. Then once they actually learn that it isn't, they think they're special, like they're the first ever to attempt it.

  • Butts.

  • The people who full on stop are because they are addicted and there are many problems with porn addiction

    also your gifs while very good will not break my nofap which I've still got a bit longer before I've done it.

  • No idea.

  • Yeah, I don't see the point of the NoFap thing either.

  • Meh whatever. Let them do what they want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Who knows *shrugs* but it does have unhealthy and mind changing effects long term and it acts sort of like a drug in the way that some, often many people get addicted to it. It kind of activates a part of the brain in a similar manner to gambling or drug use in some severe cases, it also creates a false reality, in the way of you have how women in porn have sex and then you have how sex actually is in reality and it creates false expectations in the real world. Plus lets be real there is some really disturbing stuff there.

    Now I'm not saying don't watch porn if you do watch it, but know the possible effects that might occur down the line. Or the false expectations it might put into your head.

  • Some guys are addicted to it.

  • They're fuckboys who think they'll get more pussy by not watching it cause girls watch porn nearly as much. It's like when the hot chick says she likes the beibs, so you suck up your pride and get ear cancer in hopes to lead to you hooking up with her

    • lmao, what this cuck said

  • I'm weird I never really got into much porn. Never had a favorife porn actress or anything. I'd rather do it with a chick or fap using my imagination.

    But some dudes get really addicted. To the point they don't get aroused anymore without touching their cock. Like no random hard on during the day like a normal dude should have.

  • Quitting porn? Why would they want to quit porn? Lol

  • There's a lot of people in the world who think differently chief.

  • I'll never quit porn

  • Because it's unhealthy.

  • some guys are addicted to it and maybe you are one of them

    • Only addicted to americanfeminist porn. It consist of women speaking about equal rights and how their obesity is intentional brought on to keep asshole men away from them. Hnnng

    • cool

  • I am not a quitter!!!

  • your gifs are hot af

  • Because Porn can become an addiction to where it's not healthy and it can also ruin sex lives if it's out of hand.
