This is because you are addicted. It suppresses dopamine release via postorgasmic increases of prolactin, which is why you write and reason like a brainlet.

>>14074058
This. Pretty much the same clarity enjoyed by someone who gets a cigarette in.

>>14074058
How can one go back to normal states of dopamine release?

>>14074067
Quit jacking off and have sex more

>>14074067
Exercise is the most important thing in the world for regulating your body's health. You have to stop cooming to porn; if you must coom, do it without any visual stimulus. This will help you control your urges in general since cooming will seem less miraculous to your body without the porn. Eventually your body will get associate cooming with less pleasure and you can start spacing out your cooms more. But exercise EVERY SINGLE DAY. Even if that just means you go for a 30 minute walk. Without exercise your body is destined to go into hardcore coomer mode and degenerate quickly.

>>14074081
I can't have sex though, how to release the sexual tension?

>another iq thread

>>14074081
What would be the difference? Obviously I imagine if someone quit masturbation and restricted himself only to sex then he would be ejaculating far less than otherwise. But wouldn't complete abstinence be better?

>>14074081
Copulation causes the same problem.

>>14074099
These should be your steps towards not being a coomer:
1. Stop watching porn.
2. Start cooming in the shower without any lubrication, literally just use water. Don't edge either, coom as fast as possible. This will make your body associate cooming with little to no pleasure, but you can still relieve that ache down there. Hot water will also numb the tactile corpuscles on your penis that make it feel good to touch.
3. Eventually your body will crave cooming less and less since it's literally just a unnecessary waste of semen coupled with little to no pleasure.
4. Space out your cooms more and more.

I've done this. Just started cooming in the shower with hot water and no lube, no edging, no nothing. Just rub it out quickly and that's it. And now I probably coom on average once a week, just to relieve things down there. Feel no urges after breaking coomfast because for me cooming is just a way to get out some semen with no pleasure. I'm clear-headed almost all the time. Sometimes succubi fog up my brain again and I have to pleasurelessly coom to reset, but really I'm getting better at dealing with succubi. Anyways yeah it's just about training your body to associate with cooming with a relatively boring and pleasureless activity.

>>14074081
>Quit jacking off
Correct
>have sex more
Very incorrect, reddit nofap-tier retardation said by people who have never had sex. Guess what? It causes the same prolactin increase, fatigue and brain fog.
>"The greatest intellectual geniuses in both ancient and modern times led continent lives, and there is yet to be recorded one individual who freely expended seminal fluid who ever amounted to anything. In most cases, individuals who have achieved have been forced by necessity to abstain from sexual indulgence, as Cervantes, who wrote Don Quixote while in prison, or Dante who wrote his Divine Comedy while in exile. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost" when blind and when he did not indulge in sex. Sir Isaac Newton, active in intellect until the age of 80, led a continent life from birth, and so did Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, both of whom retained their creative genius [until] an advanced age.

Appeal to authority. By the way, "mental health professionals" is professional lingo for pseud with a masters degree or at best, a PhD in psychology. They know nothing about the human body. They did not go to medical school. A psychiatrist resents being basketed with these ne'er-do-wells, so they do not like the term. Speaking of your shit-tier appeal to authority, 80 years ago, psychiatrists thought sexual excesses were the cause of many mental disorders, including depression, who were much more learned people than the imbeciles writing psychology today articles you "LITERALLY" cite.

The Mongol empire faded and it created nothing of lasting value or significance. Khan did not use his prefrontal cortex to do amazing things.

you have to evaluate these things logically. one could argue that you're addicted to food because if you don't ingest it on a regular basis you will cease to exist.
the difference is in determining which habits are good for you and which are harmful and to keep in mind even good things can become harmful if not taken in moderation.

that was kinda my point. Masturbation once or twice a day shoudln't be frowned upon, especially for someone like OP who jerks off once and is satisfied for the rest of the day. It decreases chances of getting prostate cancer, helps people like OP think more clearly, and i'm sure there are more advantages we don't know of yet. After all, it's a thing apes naturally do, like exercise, eating, socializing and playing

>>14074666
You FEED your desire by indulging it, not lessen it. That's why you are stuck masturbating twice a day, that is why you have such a fatalistic view. You are a literal slave that reinforced his sex drive and now it is beyond his control.

>>14074666

>>14074666
>i'm sure you're using your imagination for good by repressing your natural desires.
Not using imagination, but suppressing lustful desires is absolutely a good thing, especially when they are so easy to fulfill nowadays. The desire for sex and reproduction is one of the most base animal instincts and having it fulfilled with no work or effort required breeds complacency. Besides that, dopamine desensitization is absolutely a real thing that induces anhedonia and is part of why so many are depressed in this day and age.
>HUMANS do it naturally just like exercise, playing and socializing
Are you trying to argue porn is natural? It isn’t. It’s a cheap replacement of the real work and dedication needed to find a (committed) partner. Sure, people have been having casual sex for time immemorial, but you still need to get up and out of the house at least to achieve that, and even that isn’t nearly as prevalent and varied as porn is.

You’ve conflated pleasure and happiness, and because of that you will never be truly fulfilled in life. I pity you and other hedonists who won’t realize this until it’s too late.

that's a lot of projecting. I've spent a month without jacking off just to prove I can. It did nothing. No nofap magic. I didn't feel particularly horney either cause I have sex. Your cult is all placebo, and it has zero scientific basis.You feed all your desires too. I bet you even eat unealthy foods every other day, The desire to post on this god-forsaken shithole for example. It's completely natural and even healthy. Desires are eternally fluctuating and the only way to break free of them is to either become a useless monk in a faraway land or to kill yourself. You are a slave to hunger, to music, to literature, to television, to (You)s, to everything that gives you any sort of direct or indirect pleasure. It's how life works. Stop trying to spread your gospel just because you're a recovering addict.

>>14074728
>suppressing lustful desires is absolutely a good thing
post proof. The bible isn't proof btw.
>especially when they are so easy to fulfill nowadays
it's always been easy, unless you're a cutlet who needs lube. If you mean porn, then don't masturbate to porn? no need to go full retard with complete abstinence.
>The desire for sex and reproduction is one of the most base animal instincts and having it fulfilled with no work or effort required breeds complacency
literally every single mammal cums whenever they can and they're doing just fine. Humans jerked off before porn existed. Since the dawn of humanity, and we did just fine, built massive empires, discovered and invented a countless amount of things including a way to put us in the fucking moon. I'm pretty sure some of our greatest thinkers would jerk off once a day or once every other day. Sexual complacency is the least of our worries in most of the world except Japan, where the problem is work culture.
>dopamine desensitization is absolutely a real thing that induces anhedonia and is part of why so many are depressed in this day and age.
again, post sources cause i can feel pleasure alright. And again, men have jerked off since their origin.
>Are you trying to argue porn is natural?
for the fifth time, I didn't mention porn. If your problem is porn don't watch it. Not even OP mentioned porn. It seems you are the one who is obsessed with it.
>happiness
happiness is eternally fluctuating just like sadness and anger. There's no way around it. Pleasure is what's produced by jerking off, so it's more relevant to the discussion. I pity you and other incels who will waste their life away avoiding a simple natural pleasure, and instead replacing it with the dopamine release of (You)s

I quit alcohol and tobacco cold turkey on the same day almost half a decade back and have had no relapse or temptation on either.

I'm at 10 days no coom and am seriously considering an extended run. Given my ability to tap into deep reservoirs of discipline and self-control, should I give this a year or two?

>>14074171

I do it. You can orgasm without interrupting your erection, pleasure or losing sperm. "Tantra" is a meme here, you don't need to do anything spiritual to achieve it. Literally all you have to do is squeeze the muscles around your buttholle/gouche when you start to orgasm and hold it (it's actually much, much easier to hold than it first seems. Pleasure/orgasmic waves come but they don't affect the tension of the muscles, though it might feel like they do.)

Just have no active friction on your dick while you're doing it or you'll cum. Don't worry, you'll still have a good orgasm.

no fappers are the biggest virgin losers ever i dont like porn i dontwatch it all but to be aagints it is for people that dont have sex at all and the only way to redeem their shitty life is to find a woman to procreate since they cant find motivation for nutting a few times a week which is pathethic as fuck.

oh and to top it off diogenes coomed very frequently

>>14077484
But do you masturbate in public? The Cynics did all kinds of socially inappropriate things, just to separate themselves from artificial social constraints. Diogenes was not just lusting after mindless pleasure but was signaling that he couldn't care less about others' opinions of him. What about you? You hide in your little cave, just like the coward you are, and try to satisfy your base desires, which never happens. Your desires never end, and the more you try, the more hollow you become. Do you really think Diogenes would have anything but contempt for you?

Closing in on 11 days complete. I can't predict a lot about how this is going to play out but I'm aiming for 30 days initial, then success or failure I'll revise my outlook. This is the longest I've gone without jizzing in maybe 21 years, since my first deliberate coom.

>Clarity of mind
>Resistance to distraction
>Emotional honesty

Sweeping truths I worked around or could justify keeping at certain distance are running wild inside me, the practical effect being ridding myself of a few people in my social life, degenerates who benefit drastically more from my behaviors and attitudes than I ever have them and theirs. They were good for a laugh but I deserve far better.

Props to my fellows here, also prone to actual, real self-improvement. We're an exceedingly rare breed.

>>14074271
Yeah, except those 3 are degenerate fags. Compare to Tesla, Kant, Pythagoras, Kierkegaard, Newton, etc.

There are no surviving works of Diogenes, it is doubtful he ever wrote anything to begin with, much less, there exists no primary sources addressing or even mentioning him. The stories related to meeting Alexander the Great, and his public obscenity, appeared hundreds of years later, and were, most likely just that—stories. In other words, your favorite sage is a fictional character.

have sex

>>14074067
Quit watching porn. Also, I heard dopamine fasting can help.

>>14077501
I get spontaneous ejaculations during sleep when I'm 5 days into nofap.

>>14079282
dopamine fasting sounds awfully retarded. does it really work?

>>14079324
Never tried it as it seemed too difficult to me.
But I try to avoid unnecessary stimuli whenever I can. I feel better when I'm focused.

>>14077501
I did it in college and nearly transcended. Now im just doing it bc I have little interest in sex due to SSRis. Even tho I have a cute gf I love

Imagine being Q's mother.
Midnight rolls around. Right on cue the screaming begins. Quentin is making his videos again.
You roll over and drift into sleep, the autistic philosophical screaming of your son working like a lullaby.

kierkegaard coomed a lot

>>14074052
because you're 20 years old
once you hit 30, you need 48 hours to recover from a nut

>>14074052
This is one reason the no-fap fools spew their rhetoric. Without the good nut, you stay slow and stupid, the way they want you to be.
Ignore the nay sayers, reject the puritan no-fap and free your mind. Only then can you find true freedom and independence of pure thought and understanding.
