>>83612TL;DR: You called everything I wrote as SNCA while agreeing with me in redirecting your energy from the problem and into the things that actually matter. Aside from that, I do agree that this is caused by a lack of purpose, but people are different and this issue is far more involved than what you make it up to be.
I only partially agree with this. Jacking off by itself isn't bad unless it's religious or you do it constantly (ideally you should do it once a week/month to get rid off any possible negative microorganisms). It is bad when you involve porn into the mix however. Porn genuinely ruins normal human functioning, and there were several studies done about it. People lose connection with other people after continuous consumption of porn. While this isn't a major issue "in the grand scheme of things", it can devolve into complete fucking insanity if you keep it up.
<Most people here are arguably ashamed porn addicts that want to change for the better. Hell, you even mention how gen Z is into depraved shit and completely dismiss that as "something normal". It's not fucking normal. No other generation was gooning to shit like boykisser blacked BBL edits or furry dommy mommy roleplays, they just found ladies in swimsuits in some magazine (or a playboy if they were lucky) as adolescents and went to town with it. Why do you think gen Z is disconnected socially? Sure, it may not be the only issue in this instance, but porn and its ease of access is certainly a huge factor. Porn fucks people up, period.
Also, since sites like PornHub require a constant stream of user engagement, they can make you go down a rabbit hole of increasingly fucked up shit until you end up masturbating to vile material.
>But PornHub is one of the most popular porn websites available! How can it host illegal content?PornHub has a massive issue of people posting 'p videos of sexual assault victims because the website has almost no moderation. People used to watch fucking Avengers Endgame on there, that should tell you everything.
<That's why people on here are desperate and want to quit masturbating altogether. While I do have some problems with it (due to the risk of testicle cancer), it is respectable to see people quit their vice and try to get help. Saying
>WHY DO WANT HELP IN THIS SENSITIVE SUBJECT THAT YOU CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT ANONYMOUSLY? AFRICAN KIDS ARE STARVING OUT THERE, SO YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!is very fucking pathetic. Everyone has their own problems in life, all you have to do is solve them.
You looked at my post, said "all of this is useless", and picked the most extreme example to show off while agreeing with what I wrote in the same breath. Yes, people have no meaning in life, that's why they should begin by doing anything else than the thing that enables their addiction to redirect their attention. The DNS is there for the very extreme case where you try to cave in to your instincts and jack off. It's easier to just quit your devices for a while, but considering the age we're in, it might be impossible.
<I guess the conclusion here is that no person is the same and leaking over a bunch of people asking for help on something taboo is not a good idea. That doesn't mean that you don't have good arguments and solutions, your point of it being caused by a lack of purpose is true, but the issue is far more in depth than you make it up to be. I don't want to dwell too much on that since I already wrote too much anyways, but perhaps I would if you're interested.
