/lit/ - Literature

I used to have a harder time forcing myself to read some texts. It takes a lot of practice building that mental muscle / attention. At this point I can literally breaze through heavy philosophy while stoned and effortlessly follow and even enjoy it.

Me too

Think about it as running. Don’t except to run a marathon on your first run if you’ve never ran before. You have to slowly build up endurance; 2 miles a day, then 3, and so forth. I like to of reading like this. If you read everyday, even if it’s only 10 pages a day, you’ll slow build up the endurance and resistance to run a marathon, or in this case, 100-200 pages a sitting. But, like running, consistency is key, or else you’ll never build up any mileage.

This isn't about quitting porn or masturbating in moderation, it's about COMPLETELY stopping to squeeze your hog.

Any tips for visualizing? I have a really hard time imagining the orientation/direction of characters and it makes more "fun" action or interaction scenes confusing as fuck. It's hard for me to visualize an area (i can understand a description of it visually but I get lost with characters walking around in it) but not an object if that makes sense.

This. The idea that it makes you less horny is insane. It just adds fuel to the fire so that this is all the mind is thinking about.
>yeah bro just wank 5 times a day, trust me it will take care of it and not just bind you even more heavily
There is an Augustine quote saying lust goes into habit and habit becomes necessary.

Dance in front of a mirror, it gives your brain lessons in anatomy and perspective.

And you learn to dance.
