CHASTE AND BREADPILLED OP

>>12265398
I want to sleep with a girl from work, in a literal sense. She's got a cute face and a total nerd. Would be nice to share her warmth and tease her. I think she's a dyke thou so there's that.

Are you drunk man? Get a fucking grip

Renounce the flesh. Temper your desires while lessening your appetite. Lessen your labors and remain in your cell. Do this and you will know peace.

"Getting a girlfriend" is code-word for recreational sex divorced from any other purpose.

All seminal losses are harmful and routine sexual activity puts a toll on creativity and motivation. Doing nofap to get a girlfriend is self-defeating and will provoke prolonged arousal instead of productivity during abstinence, which defeats the entire point.
You should be focused on reading and writing, edifying and bettering yourself so as to accomplish grand dreams and ambitions. Not getting your biological high.
If you have habitual release, and replace only after a month or two of abstinence with a woman, she will only serve to again reinforce the daily if not more frequent releases previously suffered. You need a solid year off any sexual activity if you want to be free of a previously created habit urge to indulge daily if not more often. You are still going to be conjuring fantasies, to sustain this frequency and reinforce the habit.

If you want to have a family and raise children one day, then mate selection should be done like this [post no longer exists] You'll live an alright life, but I maintain, the greater the ambition, the greater the the chasteness one should practice.

You feel trapped in a dream because you are, in Kantian terms, under the yoke of heteronomy, where you are conflicted between doing the whim's of your innate ambitions (manifesting namely in the desires to build, to create, to explore) and that those of your lower urges which have been corrupted, reinforced and habituated to serve the end of momentary, wasteful pleasure. Without autonomy, you are but a passenger in this ride of life at most times. Mechanistically, sexual excess has caused your frontal lobes to atrophy, gray matter measurably decreases as pornography consumption escalates^1, if you are looking for a more materialist explanation. Your motivational pathways have been wasted on getting off and you have little motivation left to pursue any other activity.

>When will this pain end?
It begins to abate whenever you recognize this battle going on before you, recognizing that agency over the course your very life takes is at stake. Should reason triumph in this battle, the pain truly ends, you are no longer serving two masters and you've reached freedom (true autonomy). The chart of your life is directed, as you were before this instinct manifested, by your boundless dreams devised by your higher faculties which brings true joy and contentment that, in retrospect, reduces the allure of temporal pleasures to rubble.

>But it seem like everyone else sees as a normal person.
That's because, by and large, "everyone else" is mediocre. You aspire for more, they do not.
How many books does "everyone else" read? Are they overweight? Do they feel even the slightest desire to overcome this? Not at all. In fact, everything they do in life is a hassle. To many, their only reason for any sort of action is to "get laid".

>I nitpicked one small detail to judge everything, and failed to find anything, therefore everything is wrong!
No, you just failed at "looking up" the sources from a simple google search, because you are ignorant of human physiology and endocrinology and did not know how to proceed—and instead banked a left turn and proceeded to make an argument from ignorance to support your counterclaim (I can't find anything studies therefore masturbation doesn't affect DHT all!).

Allow me show a study which indeed supports the aforementioned ejaculation-oxytocin-DHT relationship what your failed search did not yield:

>Oxytocin—its role in male reproduction and new potential therapeutic uses

>At ejaculation, a burst of OT is released from the neurohypophysis into the systemic circulation and stimulates contractions of the reproductive tract aiding sperm release.
>Interestingly, OT has also been shown to modulate androgen levels in these tissues via stimulation of the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestostone (DHT) by 5α-reductase.
