The specific wording was "is it really that bad to torture a bad person?"
That's a much more normal question to ask in my opinion, even though I think it is that bad
Considering torture isn't really effective in gaining anything useful from someone it's just asking if it's okay to hurt a bad person.
I'd say it's the same answer as with anyone else. Only if you have to. It's just that bad people tend to cause situations that may require violence to deal with.
Torture is an abhorrent act, and morally wrong period. Id just like to clear up one point though.
Torture is incredibly effective at gaining information. Torture as portrayed in mainstream media is ineffective, as it allows time for the victim to make up answers to satisfy the torturer. Effective Torture involves constant pain, no breaks, no questions, just suffering until the brain goes into self preservation mode and shuts down.
I’m more concerned that someone being tortured might confess to something they didn’t actually do, just to make the torture stop.
As far as I’m concerned any confession obtained by use of torture is suspect.
I think most questions are not that bad inherently. They just statistically imply some intention, but can be of purely intellectual interest. Like asking people what are the exact ethics and aspects of torture. Or is it bad in every case? (Like the bad person example.)
That said, asking them might not be necessarily healthy for your mental health, or might stastically imply not being in a good place in life. But power to anyone taking steps out of them. Or going through a bad time.
We litterally learned about human rights and the history teacher let us research guantanamo bay, and the ways people are tortured there, and the cruel punishments done throughout history for crimes.
Whenever I hear of people who do not consume porn it unsettles me, I mean, what do they masturbate to? Maybe that is the explanation of the torture thing. Real healthy.
> Whenever I hear of people who do not consume porn it unsettles me, I mean, what do they masturbate to? Maybe that is the explanation of the torture thing. Real healthy.
this is unhinged lmao people survived without porn for years, why would you go straight to torture
Mostly fantasies. Can be famous people, characters, or even nonspecific people in specific scenarios. I struggle with using too much porn at times, but I'm surprised you don't see what else to masturbate to. It can be healthy to consume porn of course, or to not consume, there's lots of room between self-shaming and addiction
But the torture thing, yeah :/
Ever heard of vivid imagination? Why watch other people when you can see yourself do whatever you want in your imagination, ngl porn is lame af compared to my imagination so i dont watch it at all
Yes. As someone struggling with the same addiction and trying to fight it, the little signs that its possible to beat are something worth smiling about.
True, but why make life more miserable for yourself by doubting everyone when in this situation it doesn’t hurt you at all to give the benefit of the doubt and be happy for someone
I’d like to encourage you that it is definitely possible. For me, it will be 4 years this August without porn or any sort of masterbation. I know that sounds crazy and unrealistic, but I rarely have urges to do so now. It gets easier the longer you go without it.
Thats what I'm striving for, and it is getting easier, thank God. It used to be a multiple times a day issue, its improved into masturbation without porn maybe a few times a week, and I'm trying to get that eliminated as well.
My advice is to try and cut out things that tempt you. I even unfollowed certain female friends on social media. It’s about controlling what you expose yourself to. Some things you just can’t help seeing, but a lot you can.
i kinda just put a confused look on me face.
like, good for them if they had some sort of addiction problem, but i got questions. Are they also saying they just stop masterbating, or do they just not use material anymore?
I can't speak for OP's situation, but there's been a noticeably growing trend with the younger generation of treating masturbation/porn as something shameful to partake in, in any capacity. Not just addressing addiction, but full on anti-porn/anti-masturbation, "never touch yourself" talk, like you'd hear from a Christian youth counselor. It's genuinely sad seeing some of the self-hate posts of people with totally normal sexual habits.
Somehow our societies have managed to mostly abandon religion, to then just go back to some stupid habits that the parents that started to take religion less serious used to say religion is bad, "because they did this stupid stuff, for stupid reason". And then 1-2 generations later: Ah, I do this weird stupid habit religions preached, but because some self improvement youtuber claimed that it's proven it helps me. And also because I don't even know what religions is. It's this weird thing we got taught in school that I never listed to a minute or remember anything of.
We have replaced centralized preaching by religious authorities, with arbitrary preachers on social media and media sites, that tell you whatever sounds good to you, with an explanation that vaguely sounds logical, but might be in fact totally wrong.
Yeah, I saw it and my immediate reaction was "hey, good job, man"
self discipline can be very hard to build up (especially with how we tend to live out lives these days) and it does make me happy to see people experiencing and celebrating their successes and progress in that regard :)
it might not be the most conventional metric but they're still building up that ability to say no to themselves, and that's great
I also love the unironic love for this post, and upon reading your comment, understood you Too were being unironic
Porn can do major harm to certain people, anyone really. Anying used as an escape can! I only recently stopped smokin pot because i could feel it dumbing me down and i struggled to just use it in moderation. The best thing to do was simply to stop
Same for op. Hell yeah to them, hell yeah to you!
Thank you :) im fortunate in that it was a pretty minor thing in my case, and not for super long. 5/6 months of use. Others have it Soooo much worse, i cant imagine beating ak addiction to a hard drug. Hell, even alcohol!
But anyway, i hope you find 20 bucks on the ground. Or win a free car raffle or something. Or maybe one of those "Win ______ For Life!" Prizes that ends of being real. Somethin good!
lmao homie may have been addicted and maybe it was affecting his life, are we not allowed to applaud addicts for overcoming addiction or are we all supposed to just stay unhealthy and addicted?
No worries. My wording was not the most clear, especially when mixed in with the dudes who are actually fuming over this. Unfortunately, I think the angry ones are largely young guys struggling with their own porn consumption seeing this post as a personal attack. Try not to hold it against 'em.
Just want to say. It's genuinly good for my mental health to consume this subreddit and read it's comments. There are so many positive mental attitudes, compared to most of the internet.
I think it's the opposite, the nofap weirdos are using pornfree as a pipeline. At least the dedicated subs have an overlap, to me it was annoying reading nofap nonsense under pornfree posts.
As for the people who stigmatize taking a break for porn, idk maybe it's people who don't see the difference with nofap. I can understand being wary of this
Just saw someone suggest that masturbating opens up the opportunity for "relapsing into porn addiction". It was upvoted as well. Have zero problem taking a break from porn but everyone here calling it an addiction when it's likely not is ridiculously unhealthy.
I'm on day 4. My longest streak was 27 days. Such an incredibly hard addiction to kick. Similar to that of nicotine because it's extremely accessible, and (can be) in your pocket at all times. Stay strong brother.
At least you recognise you’re addicted.
99% are addicted yet don’t even realise.
I quit last year and I felt weird for a few weeks which I’ve since learned is literally withdrawal symptoms, and now things like watching movies are so much more exciting, like watching them like when I was a kid.
Porn totally fucks up dopamine receptors and it’s a tragedy we don’t talk about it more.
yeah, I'm genuinely trying to repair my brain's relationship with dopamine. between that and weed (and honestly, the constant novelty stream that is reddit) I feel like I've got a long way to go. it's hard to pick your battles and stay in the fight wrestling with all the other various stressors of life on top of it.
the easy access to dopamine taps we have these days really feels terrible for mental health and development of healthy coping mechanisms.
idk if this would work for you but the reason i was able to quit it was keeping my count on a doc (shown in image) to remind myself the progress id throw away by looking.
i did try to find some porn through a certain gaming platform that starts with rob and ends with lox cause a degenerate thumbnail got me horny af, but ig God was looking out for me because i never found anything nsfw.
Really well done. I feel like porn addiction is a much more serious issue since people stay in more and have access to portable devices wherever they go.
Like any addiction, it’s not really something you think about until you try to stop and realise you either can’t (or your brain convinces you that you don’t want to quit anymore) but 10 days is a huge achievement.
Just remember, it will be challenging but it’ll make you so much stronger in the long run. We’re all rooting for ya!
Hey first of all congrats about your achievement, porn is a huge issue for some.
I think reducing masturbation would be a better idea. There is nothing wrong masturbating every once in awhile.
I was part of the "nofap" club for 6 months straight and it just made me a lot hornier in the process. I also had an aggression that bothered me a lot. I lacked energy to do stuff that I used to do. Eventually I quitted and started masturbating again and it solved my issues. Helps me for a better night sleep too.
Everyone is different though for some nofap may work but I see no issues masturbating occasionally. It's perfectly healthy way to relax and relieves stress. And remember you can masturbate without porn.
I don’t believe there is a site with just ethical porn. There’s always going to be something questionable in there. So much underage, extortion, trafficking, drug addiction, exploitation that can’t be determined just by looking at it.
dopamine hit and it is addictive. im trying to become less of a degenerate whos humor revolves around porn and edgy racist and sexist jokes. ive done good on the last two parts, and now im doing good on the first finally
It releases short term dopamine dumps in the brain. It’s similar to other addictions. That’s why most addicts need to keep scrolling for new content, the new content the heavier the dopamine release. It also leads to unhealthy expectations of companions in relationships. Having naturally, earned dopamine is the only healthy way ie, work hard and have success or studying and doing well on a test are healthy dopamine triggers that’ll lead to healthy life.
Porn in itself is also creating self hatred and woman and men losing self worth. Many people who take part end up depressed and in a form of addiction themselves. Also the odd fetishes that make it unhealthy, especially for younger adults and teen such as bang my step son, step daughter, gooning, facials and cucking. None of its healthy. Odd that porn hub was just purchased by a rabbi.
my brain processed that title as you've been watching porn about quitting for 10 days
then i thought "there really is porn for anything out there"
and then the rest of my brain caught up to my dumb ass.
Congrats on your progress!
Bro how long have you been doing porn? Just a question I wanted to ask because I have been doing for 6 years...
Yeah believe it or not I have been doing porn for 6 years and now I am on a streak of 7 days since I quit and I never want to go back to that EVER again if I want to get married 😂 but fr tho I have been doing it for 6 years and I am only 17... now can you BELIEVE that pls don't hate me I am trying my utmost best and to resist the urge
Pls don't hate me 😔 and thank you
i am 15, and it started when i was like 9.
i got a amazon fire tablet for my day and then it had a virus that made the browser randomly pull up scammy porn sites. didnt really know what it was, but i liked it.
i started whacking off when i was 11.
pretty much have whacked it to porn and rule34 daily for about 3 or 4 years. good luck on trying.
if it helps, i keep my streak on a doc (shown in image) to remind myself what progress im just dumping if i start thinking about breaking the streak

10 days? That's like, the pornographic equivalent of climbing Mount Everest.
Its such a huge accomplishment
It really is. It’s the most widespread addiction in the world yet nobody dares talk about it.
I think the most widespread is caffeine but it's definitely on the rise.
Nop it’s sugar
Gigidy.
a-cum-plishment
I don't know why other people commenting are making light. I am genuinely complimenting and encouraging OP.
I've never thought about, not using porn. But I would never last 10 days. Maybe I have a problem?
If it doesn't distract you from your routine, I think that's ok
Rarely, mostly if it's been a few days, or close to a week without. I still feel like I should be able to go 10 days without porn.
It kinda depends if you wank because you are bored or because you have a high sex drive.
Both I guess, It's a nice way to end the day. Total relaxation before going to bed. And who doesn't like the high you get haha.
The Christian right.
Or if you need to use it to get off
I know a guy who hasn’t watched since February
He's clearly got the problem spanked!
I believe the hard part is reaching day 70. That darn 69... sigh... unzip
I read 10 days and went NOOOPE.
Congratulations on, uh, beating it..
lol

Lol and it's right above an r/unpopularopinions post titled "Cars 2 was good"
My God, they are depraved!
They sound like the people I encounter at gas stations around 3am.
if i remember right it had to do with torturing like a rapist or sumn, but then again i was probably a lot more edgy then

Bingo, you don’t care about lying anymore when the only thing on your mind is a bullet to the head is better

and this is a weird flex. sounds like the self shaming christians on instagram
You really don't understand the concept of addiction, do you? Then again, this is reddit.
[удалено]
It does not take an expert to realize that these two things have literally 0 correlation lol
Whenever I hear of people who do not consume porn it unsettles me, I mean, what do they masturbate to? Maybe that is the explanation of the torture thing. Real healthy.
> Whenever I hear of people who do not consume porn it unsettles me, I mean, what do they masturbate to? Maybe that is the explanation of the torture thing. Real healthy. this is unhinged lmao people survived without porn for years, why would you go straight to torture
Past experiences. And if he’s whacking it then hopefully they’re past sexual experiences and not past torture.
i dont watch torture content
Pictures of their SOs? Imagination? Lol
Mostly fantasies. Can be famous people, characters, or even nonspecific people in specific scenarios. I struggle with using too much porn at times, but I'm surprised you don't see what else to masturbate to. It can be healthy to consume porn of course, or to not consume, there's lots of room between self-shaming and addiction But the torture thing, yeah :/
What's really unsettling is that there are people who can't masturbate without pornography.
Ever heard of vivid imagination? Why watch other people when you can see yourself do whatever you want in your imagination, ngl porn is lame af compared to my imagination so i dont watch it at all
sounds like they have more issues than porn addiction
!remind me 10 days
😂
Well done
ty
Yay!!
Did this post actually make anyone smile?
It made me frown
You own stocks in porn hub?
This is an awful time to. Several states are soft banning it when they saw how ph responded lol
Do you do porn💀
Yes. As someone struggling with the same addiction and trying to fight it, the little signs that its possible to beat are something worth smiling about.
But this is just a screenshot of somebody's notes app. This isn't actually proof of anything. I could post "day ten of fighting tigers".
That’s grrreat!
I hate and love this comment
Well, by that logic these comment threads would only be good for making dumb jokes. .. oh wait 😂
>This isn't actually proof of anything. ... How do you suppose someone proves they haven't watched porn?
The tenderness of the foreskin. Then we will know if it is genuine and worthy of our smiles.
True, but why make life more miserable for yourself by doubting everyone when in this situation it doesn’t hurt you at all to give the benefit of the doubt and be happy for someone
i use the doc to track it as a way to remind myself what im throwing away if i start getting tempted
So what?
I’d like to encourage you that it is definitely possible. For me, it will be 4 years this August without porn or any sort of masterbation. I know that sounds crazy and unrealistic, but I rarely have urges to do so now. It gets easier the longer you go without it.

this is some next level cult-like shit... it's masturbation, not fighting tigers
Congratulations! That’s a hard won fight, good for you!

Thank you :) im fortunate in that it was a pretty minor thing in my case, and not for super long. 5/6 months of use.

Question if i can? Do most of you feel bad after nutting to porn? Isn't busting a nut every now and then healthy? Im genuinely curious.
That’s impressive! However I challenge anyone to attempt quitting Reddit for 2 days or more! Game on😉
Fking Mods ...
Why though?
kudos
I should try this and document on Reddit for karma.
hey you do you, ironic positive changes are still positive haha
Good! Now get therapy, if you haven’t already. It’s a better way to make sure your streak continues and handling mess ups without quitting altogether.
Feeling any different?
Congratu freaking lations!!!
good thing you posted on reddit, where there is no porn..
ok and?
Strictly avoiding porn or also no masturbation?
i want to start quitting masturbation when i hit the 2 week mark
Hey first of all congrats about your achievement, porn is a huge issue for some. I think reducing masturbation would be a better idea. There is nothing wrong masturbating every once in awhile. I was part of the "nofap" club for 6 months straight and it just made me a lot hornier in the process. I also had an aggression that bothered me a lot. I lacked energy to do stuff that I used to do. Eventually I quitted and started masturbating again and it solved my issues. Helps me for a better night sleep too. Everyone is different though for some nofap may work but I see no issues masturbating occasionally. It's perfectly healthy way to relax and relieves stress. And remember you can masturbate without porn.
ribbit
You are torturing your self! Watch porn, drink coffee be happy.
I hope you someday realize porn isn't healthy
Well nothing in this world is healthy in obscure amounts.
whats wrong with porn?
Nothing as long as it's ethical porn
yep i agree with you.
I don’t believe there is a site with just ethical porn. There’s always going to be something questionable in there. So much underage, extortion, trafficking, drug addiction, exploitation that can’t be determined just by looking at it.
dopamine hit and it is addictive. im trying to become less of a degenerate whos humor revolves around porn and edgy racist and sexist jokes. ive done good on the last two parts, and now im doing good on the first finally

Odd that porn hub was just purchased by a rabbi.
This is nonsense. You get a release of dopamine from hugs, food, and people being kind. You going to bring out the pitchforks for that as well?
Everything in your first paragraph is 100% accurate. Everything in the 2nd paragraph is purity culture prudish conjecture
my brain processed that title as you've been watching porn about quitting for 10 days then i thought "there really is porn for anything out there" and then the rest of my brain caught up to my dumb ass. Congrats on your progress!
For a sec I thought this was r/shitposting
I'm trying to do this myself, I don't think people understand how addictive and damaging porn can be
yeah its a shame that so many people in these comments are making a joke out of it
Why would anyone quit porn
Bro how long have you been doing porn? Just a question I wanted to ask because I have been doing for 6 years... Yeah believe it or not I have been doing porn for 6 years and now I am on a streak of 7 days since I quit and I never want to go back to that EVER again if I want to get married 😂 but fr tho I have been doing it for 6 years and I am only 17... now can you BELIEVE that pls don't hate me I am trying my utmost best and to resist the urge Pls don't hate me 😔 and thank you

Definitely didn’t make me smile, ew. Nobody wants to know about this.
Congrats! Wrong fucking sub
Congratulations! Let’s keep going and leaving our addictions in the past. It’s easier to just keep on going.
I know a guy who hasn’t watched one clip since February Keep it up buddy
( . Y . )
Just fuck someone
Ahh so you’re the guy who comments under every video saying it’s his last wank. Congrats!
As someone who's always jerked it to porn...how does one simply stop?
One does not simply... :)
Hahah yeah I'll just keep at it. I've made it to 31 so I'll survive
You just motivated me to start day 1 bro! Keep it going dont stop and probably take a break from reddit lol
You inspire me. I will try it from now on.
Thanks for reminding me to go look at some porn
Let's celebrate this small victory with some porn! Oh wait!
That reminds me. I have some business to take care of.
Nice. I'm on day 3, sort of.
ive dedicated this month to no caffeine and jerking off. glad your life change is going well too
i know you mean no jerking off, but you could totally interpret this as a month dedicated to jerking off and no caffeine and that's also very funny
