chasteposter hated that book.

i have'nt read it but surely everything it says is true

An tepid, lukewarm approach that does not condemn the real elephant in the room, masturbation.

How is masturbation worse than porn anon?

>>13239696
Masturbation is completely fine. It doesn't mess up your brain like porn does.

Contra naturam.
The real elephant in the room is largeur tho, it is non-procreative and non-marital erotic acts.

dont call your gf an elephant ffs

>your brain
Taking the advice of a bunch of coke addict grave robbers, best of luck.

Pornography is pan-visual, realize you have voyeuristic inclinations and reject them

You don't need to read that, or any other book, just stop wanking. Stop wanking yourself off to porn and take note of the changes to your mind body and soul over the following weeks.

I quit for a month and nothing happened

But how long have you been watching porn? Do you expect to reverse a habituation formed over decades in a single month? Unless you restrict yourself from all forms of titilation (including in your own mind/) this is impossible.

With casual exposure It can take three months or it can take three years. But this is really only necessary if there is habituation in the first place. If you can do it without any pain or craving for an extended period (at least a month), if it's like switching to a new brand of breakfast cereal in severity, then whether you quit or not doesn't matter.

The blanket recommendation based on the average result is obviously not applicable equally to every person. But it's easy to find out if it is applicable to you.

pseudoscience peddled by that NoFap group

Bad book, but the spirit of it is right. Just make an effort to stop PMO and log any changes. Keep in mind you'll suffer withdrawal symptoms at first

Why the fuck does /lit/ have so many chastity threads?

cause porn distracts from reading

>>13239861
this is not a good mascot for the anti-wanking club

have sex, unironically

>According to this eminent English psychiatrist, the sexual orgasm has by its very nature a disintegrative, deteriorating influence on the organism; and the loss of energy it entails, especially when frequently repeated, results in apathy, lethargy and dementia. The tension of energy in the nervous system is thereby reduced to the lowest ebb, and, as a result, the manifestations of this energy are either wanting or are exhibited in a feeble and prefunctory manner.
