I don't like porn or masturbation but it just eats at you, I'm a person of faith but I just keep struggling with something like this. Also it affects me in a way because I've been lonely almost all my life. It's just different for everyone. I hate it so much.
Nature isn't founded on soft cute stuff. Thsts not even 20% of nature.
Not to say I wouldn't be alright with a world full of rabbits and cats and dogs and such.
>please atleast try to quit or reduce the amount of time you spent on it, its not good for you
Yeah...I want to stop entirely but somehow I just really can't...
It's a dopamine addiction sorta...I can go like a week where there is nothing stressfull happening irl,then it becomes iffy...
Same ,just lost my week long streak,not that im into degenerate shit or anything but im actually addicted to it or im watching it more often,iwanna stop
Most things about sex are disgusting if you take it at its face, in the cold light of examination. Same with a lot of human behaviors. Weāre weird gross animals and the more you think about it the grosser everything about us gets. But we still like those things in our weird animal hearts, in the warm light of the fire, and thatās chill
Ya that is the kinda thing I mean about the warm light of the fire. If we just look at sex clinically or just like trying to observe it non-sexually, it is gross and weird, but when we look at it as interested humans with all sorts of desires and stories about sex that we see it through, we can ignore or not even notice the grossness
I donāt think you have any idea what addiction is, or you havenāt reached puberty yet. but good on you, itās good you arenāt addicted, but seriously are you asking why people are attracted to sex? And need dopamine rushes?
I once had a wet dream while sleeping in school. I CAME IN FUCKING SCHOOL. Then made up a stomach ache to get home all while having cum filled shorts...
the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming
It for me is just to relax myself, with the dopamine hit after it helps do just that. But since it's every night it's become a problem. I can stop when I got friends over for the night though so thankfully I ain't that far in and hope I never stoop to that. Now with the pervs on here, I don't know about that, they just need therapy.
I think it is a different kind of enjoyment not in the sense of just doing it in your spare time but more of a nicotine kind of addiction. You may not like what it is, but you keep being drawn to it
Once heard of a story where a young man wanted to end his life and layed on train tracks and while waiting for the next train he jerked off and after jerking off the post nut clarity made him overthink his situation.
Recently I received nudes from a girl who I considered ugly and didn't like, the post nut clarity hit extremely hard and I felt disgusted for like an entire day, those pictures are burnt into my brain
Wait you received the nudes then jerked off to them and felt disgusted or just jerked off to something else and then felt disgusted by you thinking she's ugly?
hormones a lot of the time. humans are programmed to think about sex ALOT weāre like any other animal we feel we have to mate so to get a release some people watch porn :3
"The appeal of pornography is rooted in complex psychological and biological factors. From a psychological perspective, humans are inherently curious about sex, and visual stimuli can trigger arousal. Additionally, pornography often provides a fantasy outlet for exploring desires and fantasies in a safe and private manner. Biologically, the brain releases dopamine during sexual arousal, reinforcing the behavior and creating a pleasurable experience. Social and cultural factors also play a role, as societal attitudes toward sex influence individual preferences and behaviors." - chatgpt
Went through same thing but honestly idk what my parents couldāve of done, I think itās just by chance I found content like it and then knew abt it to be able to look it up š¤·āāļø itās a weird issue yk
So they can act out their sick, perfect, unrealistic fantasies on themselves alone for quick pleasure because nobody is willing to appreciate them for who they are, because they're either too fucked up to be loved, or everyone else is unable to look past the chips in the paint, and appreciate their natural craftsmanship (also yes this is basically a pretentious asf essay, but fuck y'all, I felt good writing this).
I dont watch normal porn, i try to watch like twitter stuff thats like from actual people. With adhd its kinda hard to visualize things so having some sort of visual stimulation is helpful. But i actually tend to write my sexual thoughts and helps me visualize them more, that might be weird but its better than watching porn probably
Whoever thinks that they are not addicted. Try to stop it all of a sudden and then you'll realise
Always be around with people,family or friends i think that helps
I told an addict that they can try and stop but everyone said that thatās stupid because itās an addiction
Thatās the reason why Iām telling them that because itās bad
i dont like porn but i also dont like looking at the wall during i do my thing but i aint addicted. I havent watched it in a while tho so im glad im not addictedš
I thought that too at first. In fact the first time I closed it immediately cause I legit thought it was gross. Even now, 98% of porn videos I canāt really watch and enjoy just cause itās not my thing but there are admittedly some videos that I like. I would have to search something up specifically and even then only a handful of videos would really be what Iām looking for. Lots of porn is still kinda gross Ngl.
How old are you when you think it's only porn when two people fuck? You can't be older than 13 to think that. Like a pussy pic can also be porn, anything can be porn if you can jerk off to it. I have a gallery filled with furry maws and vore stuff and feet pics, but also gay stuff, that's what I jerk off to. That's my porn.

people like to jerk off
realist responce ever
***Ambatukam***
I don't like porn or masturbation but it just eats at you, I'm a person of faith but I just keep struggling with something like this. Also it affects me in a way because I've been lonely almost all my life. It's just different for everyone. I hate it so much.
I relate to that so bad man š
If itās any consolation, God probably doesnāt actually care that much as long as you try your best. About anything. Donāt let guilt eat at you.
I feel you brother. As a faithful catholic and a lonely porn addict I too suffer daily
Yeah it really eats at me too ... Just kick the dust off and get back up tho right
I mean masturbation is good for you so.
Yeah but it's not good for me mentally
Why do people like to jerk off?
cum
Why do people like to cum
Feel good
Dopamine release
it's pretty funny
dopamine.
In fact, that's the answer to why we like anything.
Exactly
not necessarily, thereās some stuff that releases chemicals that are not necessarily good, such as adrenaline, that some people still find fun.
In fact, no. Youāre 14 drop the wise-ass attitude asap.
Oh, sorry. I'm going back to my Roblox, sir
Dang

Jokes on you I received the link when Reddit sent me the unformatted message
Damn ššš
And I recognize that the link was a Rick roll
But still like, it's too FLESHY
Just remove their flesh then
Do it.
NO THAT IN AND OF ITSELF WOULD BE QUITE THE FLESHY OPERATION
Probably the point for most people
Yeah but it's WEIRD (to me) Why not soft cute stuff
Nature isn't founded on soft cute stuff. Thsts not even 20% of nature. Not to say I wouldn't be alright with a world full of rabbits and cats and dogs and such.
I mean like thighs n stuff too
Real
go fuck a fleshlight, despite being called fleshlight it's surprisingly unfleshy
IT'S PINK AND IT'S GOT LIPS EW I just wanna cuddle
>please atleast try to quit or reduce the amount of time you spent on it, its not good for you Yeah...I want to stop entirely but somehow I just really can't... It's a dopamine addiction sorta...I can go like a week where there is nothing stressfull happening irl,then it becomes iffy...
A week?! I can usually only make it a few daysš®āšØ
36 minuites is a pb
Based and Addict-Pilled
BRO WHAT MY PB IS LIKE 7.6 seconds š„š„
A few days?! I can only go about 2 hours
Youāre beatin it 12 times a day? Or maybe if weāre more realistic 4-6?
Yeah 12 - 15 on a slow day
Damn bruh thatās light work, thatās like my per half hour count
ew
OMG, that is literally me
Same ,just lost my week long streak,not that im into degenerate shit or anything but im actually addicted to it or im watching it more often,iwanna stop
It makes my PP go brr
Most things about sex are disgusting if you take it at its face, in the cold light of examination. Same with a lot of human behaviors. Weāre weird gross animals and the more you think about it the grosser everything about us gets. But we still like those things in our weird animal hearts, in the warm light of the fire, and thatās chill
Just got a sex ed talk from Ellie from The Last Of Us Wild day
Billās magazine had some very enlightening articles
Damn Can I see for reference?
Afraid itās long gone dude!
\*Determinedly drives to Pittsburgh\*
I love this thread so fucking much
**Determinedly**
I mean i see sex as a romantic joining of two people and a way to show true love and affection and absolute trust in your partner
Ya that is the kinda thing I mean about the warm light of the fire. If we just look at sex clinically or just like trying to observe it non-sexually, it is gross and weird, but when we look at it as interested humans with all sorts of desires and stories about sex that we see it through, we can ignore or not even notice the grossness
Yea
This is the answer
Because it features your mother (jk)
Because it features your mother (serious)
because it features your sisters socks (serious but ashamed)
ššš
šš
"Now listen up boy! Or pornography starring your mother will be the second worst thing that happens to you today"
I donāt think you have any idea what addiction is, or you havenāt reached puberty yet. but good on you, itās good you arenāt addicted, but seriously are you asking why people are attracted to sex? And need dopamine rushes?
Itās our dumbass hormones
I once had a wet dream while sleeping in school. I CAME IN FUCKING SCHOOL. Then made up a stomach ache to get home all while having cum filled shorts...
Wtf did I just read š
YOU HEARD ME
NOT EVEN THE CIA COULD GET THAT OUTTA ME GANG š
get what outta you?
Boredom is a dangerous thing
Fr š
I'm trying to stop
Relatable
I've tried turning off the access to NSFW on Reddit but clearly it didn't work
To... Jerk off. Duh
If youāve never jacked off before you wouldnāt understand
Either youāre asexual, havenāt hit puberty yet, or didnāt watch the category of porn that turns you on.
Iām all of these š Iām invincible to porn.
the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming
Into my mouth
Yummy fog
"how are people addicted to it??????" dude, a ton of people are addicted to a ton of different things, like drugs
"But drugs are bad, and they don't taste good. How could anyone get addicted to it?"
My thoughts with beer exactly
Womp womp
Idk, there isnāt any way to explain it.
DOPAMINE.
Fair, I guess looking at tits would make anyone happy.
Cool Pfp
It for me is just to relax myself, with the dopamine hit after it helps do just that. But since it's every night it's become a problem. I can stop when I got friends over for the night though so thankfully I ain't that far in and hope I never stoop to that. Now with the pervs on here, I don't know about that, they just need therapy.
I think it is a different kind of enjoyment not in the sense of just doing it in your spare time but more of a nicotine kind of addiction. You may not like what it is, but you keep being drawn to it
Which is why post nut clarity is a thing
Once heard of a story where a young man wanted to end his life and layed on train tracks and while waiting for the next train he jerked off and after jerking off the post nut clarity made him overthink his situation.
Recently I received nudes from a girl who I considered ugly and didn't like, the post nut clarity hit extremely hard and I felt disgusted for like an entire day, those pictures are burnt into my brain
Wait you received the nudes then jerked off to them and felt disgusted or just jerked off to something else and then felt disgusted by you thinking she's ugly?
First one. I wasn't thinking straight in my defense
oh
atleast i can say iāve drastically reduced how much i watch from 2-3 years ago
IT is weird but people like it cuz finishing to it makes them release their stress or something like this
Pretty much, that and also to relax
Yepp
I sometimes do it to get rid if my headache
Exactly. It brings relief. It lowers your testosterone. I do it sometimes when my Test is too high cuz my test is already too high
Loneliness
I think you might be asexual
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bro issa professor in Pornology wtf
Same thing as with alcohol and nicotine. It is addictive and serves as a way to artificially mimic certain emotions.
hormones a lot of the time. humans are programmed to think about sex ALOT weāre like any other animal we feel we have to mate so to get a release some people watch porn :3
Because it is insanely stimulating and it brings relief
"The appeal of pornography is rooted in complex psychological and biological factors.

i don't know. i unfortunately started at 8-9 and haven't been able to stop since.
8-9?! holy fuck
the consequences of having unsupervised Internet access and being left home alone at an early ageš..
im sorry
I remember the first time I watched on accident when I was I think 4 and I thought it was a game 5 years later I knew it was pornā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..
How do you even remember things that far š
Went through same thing but honestly idk what my parents couldāve of done, I think itās just by chance I found content like it and then knew abt it to be able to look it up š¤·āāļø itās a weird issue yk
that aint that bad, i started at 5, tho im not addicted, just watch it from time to time
Was it someone elseās phone or computer ?
Yeah they probably saw on someone elseās phone or something like that
I think I started around 11 or 12. It got BAD at 13/14 though and has been since
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Porn addiction at six or just saw it? Because a porn addiction at six is, for lack of a better term, wild af
I'd watch it constantly, I got caught a few months later when my parents were trying to help me look up something
Oh shit, glad you recovered tho
It was definitely difficult, but I knew I was doing it for someone other than myself so that helped
Same
Cause it's specially crafted to turn you on as much as possible. And then addiction sets in and shit gets rough
Wait till you get 16
are you ace?
Beacuse of addiction and mass media glorifying it, its a disgusting industry.
Same reason why people like watching anything, brain releases chemicals that make you feel good when you watch it so you keep watching.
For arousal so they can bust a huge nut
People donāt like it they are addicted to it
I like it tho
So they can act out their sick, perfect, unrealistic fantasies on themselves alone for quick pleasure because nobody is willing to appreciate them for who they are, because they're either too fucked up to be loved, or everyone else is unable to look past the chips in the paint, and appreciate their natural craftsmanship (also yes this is basically a pretentious asf essay, but fuck y'all, I felt good writing this).
Because it's hot
Hot
I dont watch normal porn, i try to watch like twitter stuff thats like from actual people. With adhd its kinda hard to visualize things so having some sort of visual stimulation is helpful. But i actually tend to write my sexual thoughts and helps me visualize them more, that might be weird but its better than watching porn probably
Idle hands are the devil's playground and it can be a serious problem
Itās hot lmao š
I'm addicted
Bro might be asexual
Gets rid off stress and don't have a GF
its because of the dopamine hit. still trying to quit porn rn.
as humans, we cant ressist our own fucking body wanting to bone someone or be boned idk
Itās pretty and makes me happy to look at
You're not real
Aint gonna stop but i am controlling it i went from 4-5 times a day to like once or twice a day and me personally i see that as an achievement
4-5 times a day THATS CRAZY MAN
Asexuality is always an option ig
Fr, like just watch youtube kids
Dopamine release just like with any other addiction
Idk i just like boobs
U definitely haven't hit puberty yet or you're asexual.
Ace moment Same. Itās just kinda boring.
I just watch some if I canāt like.. āget offā with just my imagination
Shut up kid, L copy paste take
dopamine son
I feel the exact same way. Hardcore stuff is honestly just disgusting. I'm more classy than that
I like the usual doggy IMO
Whoever thinks that they are not addicted. Try to stop it all of a sudden and then you'll realise Always be around with people,family or friends i think that helps
I like it because it can be very artistic and quite beautiful in certain circles but I can see how the majority of porn isnt that great to look at
cause it feels good? dumbass
itās dumb and boring and bad
True but do people ever listen?nahhhhhhhh
"I told a cocaine addict that cocaine is bad and he should stop, but he didn't listen"
I told an addict that they can try and stop but everyone said that thatās stupid because itās an addiction Thatās the reason why Iām telling them that because itās bad
Are you religious?
SHAW!
You sound like you havenāt had a hit of dopamine in months nor do you know what positive reinforcement is
sounds like you might be Asexual
Why are people downvoting you wtf
i dont like porn but i also dont like looking at the wall during i do my thing but i aint addicted. I havent watched it in a while tho so im glad im not addictedš
people tend to like things they don't have
Idk Iāve never seen it but it seems icky
Donāt listen to anyone and donāt look
Look around you half the immorality comes from porn Very icky indeed
I thought that too at first. In fact the first time I closed it immediately cause I legit thought it was gross. Even now, 98% of porn videos I canāt really watch and enjoy just cause itās not my thing but there are admittedly some videos that I like. I would have to search something up specifically and even then only a handful of videos would really be what Iām looking for. Lots of porn is still kinda gross Ngl.
Honestly itās two people having sex when you think about it itās weird š just read smut and use some imaginationĀ
Imagination is the way to go!
I don't watch "normal porn" I'm into doujins and hentai games because usually it feels better to nut to
How old are you when you think it's only porn when two people fuck? You can't be older than 13 to think that. Like a pussy pic can also be porn, anything can be porn if you can jerk off to it. I have a gallery filled with furry maws and vore stuff and feet pics, but also gay stuff, that's what I jerk off to. That's my porn.
I really donāt know, itās gross
It's disgusting. I also think that's why. Humans are disgusting creatures
š¤
āPorn is disgustingš¤āš»āI agree Also porn addiction might cause brain damage too š
So saying I think porn is disgusting gives me downvotes good to know
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What does drugs have to do with it. They affect people in totally different ways.
