His argument presupposes that it impossible to go without sexual release unless you are chronically horny but this is lie and shows such a profound ignorance that it reflects on his own lack of self-control. It's proof that he has not went more than a few days since puberty without masturbation/release because he defaults to sexual thoughts throughout the day or has arousing stimuli present.

The sex drive is a feedback mechanism contingent upon ΔFosB induction. The more you do it, the stronger the urge grows. This is why people who have actually achieved long periods of celibacy in adulthood have their sex drive actually decrease and they are less sex obsessed. I've gone months without masturbating and the clarity achieved from abstinence is liberating--- the mind no longer is polluted from random sexual thoughts compelling you to masturbate or seek out sex. Whenever I'm not leading a chaste life, I'll masturbate and it will satiate for 10 minutes at best and any stimuli or thoughts will incur arousal which invariably leads to release. I could do it probably do it 5 times a day if I were to let myself go. It is a constant source of distraction, something that leaves you tired and drained. It reinforces your sexual urges, not relinquishes them.

Lastly, there was no pornography videos then, there was no playboy. At worst, there might have been a lewd mural in someone's home but even that is stretching it. Without novel stimuli, masturbation gets very old quickly, especially if you are a high IQ person invested in the arts, invention or any sort of edification where you're not some drool just loafing around masturbating. "Geek" as he calls them. What an absurd, loser, wannabe "DUDE SCIENCE DUDE", that has a Rich and Morty tier outlook on life. This guy isn't just a bugman. He is THE bugman. A useless Skinnerian bugman that's a slave to his next release. He assumes it's impossible to go without and has proven that he exerts no autonomy over his own life. He is in a state of heteronomy doomed to be controlled by vile habit the rest of his life. Look at him. He is a poster child for Dr. von Gruber's observation that excessive sexual release harms development. A pig man whose pinnacle of existence amounts to getting off and stuffing his face.
