Love should transcend the physical
Sex activates the same pathways as heroin and methamphetamine
Sex takes males vitality


Most importantly
Sex is nothing special
And shouldn't be defied or monetized

The genitals are a source of waste and disease
And are disgusting

Sex is an Inherently dehumanizing act as I forces you to objectify the other as pure sensation as personal gratification.
Also leads to a power dynamics c I. E. Sub v Dom.

Of course, but the social status of a desire can exacerbate it. People who’ve had sex often care less about sex than people who haven’t, even if those people who’ve had it haven’t had sex for a long time.

>> No.13501485

I'd argue from Buddhist teachings mostly.

The Four Noble Truths go:
1. All existence is Dukka (Suffering/Pain/etc.)
2. Suffering is due to desire
3. There is a way to overcome such desires
4. It the Eightfold Path

The Eightfold Path does contain sexual misconduct which is generally left vague and can be anything from "Don't rape" to "Don't have any sex."

However, if things that cause desire, such as emotions in general, typically lead to suffering unless held in check and treated in moderation, then it is generally optimal to avoid such suffering by trying to find enlightenment without shallow pleasure. Sex is a drug and doing it over and over and over will lessen the sensation, not leading to genuine happiness but simply a high you get. Granted you can take an Epicurean view of sex and say to limit it to receive the maximum amount of pleasure, however that doesn't solve the issue here.

The goal instead would be to find inner contentment within yourself so that having sex like a mindless beast isn't what drives you as is following the path that will bring you the most inner peace. Otherwise, sex will just be another retinue of the body you must commit to because of your untempered and overpowering desires installed by animistic goals, which will eventually end in "pain" for both you and your partner(s) in some form, be it that the passion is gone, or that its just not satisfying. Therefore, it is just to conclude sex is not the most optimal situation in every philosophical circumstance in terms of gratification.

>Of course, but the social status of a desire can exacerbate it.
Sure. I still think that it's mostly them wanting to fulfill a crucial urge every human experiences. Finding a mate is what every animal ultimately desires, and we're a sort of animal as well. A divine animal, but still.

Of course they don't. Despite what anyone says, most women still desire a virtuous husband that isn't a degenerate when they want to settle down and raise a family. I know, cuck, betabuxx, etc. yada yada. I will concede that most women spend their youth slutting it up, but that's our culture to blame for allowing them to do it since they are mentally like children after all. If you don't condition a child on what they can and can't do, they'll look for it themselves. And curiosity always kills the cat. There are still virgin females out there, or ones with low body counts. Just don't go after jezebels, THAT'S IT. If you want a pure virgin, that's a daunting task.

Sex is a hunger -and one that's not necessary for your person to survive. A hunger, like the hunger for food, coming back once you've not had some for a while. Doing the sex is to feel like getting some balance back.
There's barely any inherent gain in doing sex, except for bonding with your partner (and getting back in balance).

The human condition is of course a tragic joke.

I've had hot girls approach me in college to talk after class and stuff, but I don't know if they were interested in me or my homework. I honestly can't tell. I've had 3 genuine friends during my 23 years on earth, and all of them were my friends before the age of 15. After that, I've never communicated with a male or female on a level that I would consider worthy of being a friendship or romantic encounter. I just kept retreating to the internet more and more. It's possible that we're both autistic, but how to fix this situation is beyond me. I just work and then come home to the internet or a book every single day. My phone is like a graveyard, no social media, never leave the house unless necessary or I decide to go for a walk, etc. It's a painful existence. I only interact with my parents and sister. All of my other family members are far away or dead. Is there anything were supposed to be doing though? I might just try to get an arranged gf through my dad since he has a lot of friends.

I'm not as bad as you. I've always been an extroverted person and most people seem to mistake my autism for a sort of good-natured quirkiness so they just think I'm weird. I have a good social circle of bros from high school that I still do stuff with, I go to the gym 4 times a week minimum, I have hobbies like fishing and surfing but none of those things make it easier to meet girls. Most of my friends are either in multi-year-long relationships or they're chronically single, nobody's in between and none of them have any friends who are girls either. I'm not sure where you could get more friends, all of mine I've known since at least middle school but you should definitely get some hobbies. Find something you think sounds cool and go try it out. I can tell you it probably won't help you meet girls but it's a good way to spend time that's not 4chan.
