I hate pornography masturbation and sex so bad. They hijack my will and rob me of my life. The more I've fed my lust the stronger it has grown. It feels like every person around me is an NPC driven by their biological programming. They wallow and revel in it. I can't stand it. Even here on /lit/... It never ends. It ruins and infects everything. I had cumskulls so bad. I don't believe in God. Fuck OP and every one unironically participating in his thread.

What kind of self control do you have that you instantly feel the need to masturbate when you see an attractive pic?

>>14992363
It's called a high sex drive retard and the more you feed your lust the less control you have in preventing it from unfolding. Essentially the only way to escape once the habit becomes bad is to unplug the internet.

>>14992351
The book was less an attack on democracy in the greek sense and more of centralised government, it's on the list because it was my first real introduction to anarcho capitalism as a concept and although I don't hold it as a political belief it still holds a special place in my heart.
As far as I can remember he proposes a variety of different systems, he spends the longest on monarchies and the advantages they have over representative democracies but I don't think he ever explicitally endorses them as strictly better.

It completely is the root of my problems. The moment I masturbate, my day goes to shit. I have no energy and I'm just going to masturbate again. When with each girlfriend, it was the same thing but with sex and oxytocin from human contact to make the crash more bearable. Still apathetic. Still dysphoric. Still controlled and led astray by a lower instinct. Sounds to me like you're coping and don't like to think of the influence any of this has on your life.

>>14992304
look at her ig, shes actually a 6/10. u better than this bro

>>14992505
Castration of the public or castration carried out in public? The latter sounds like a fun form of entertainment, it will fill the hole left by ending public executions

>>14992555
If he's making posts like that he really isn't better than this

>The moment I masturbate, my day goes to shit. I have no energy and I'm just going to masturbate again.
I'm genuinely curious about this mindset, since I've personally never seen the hype about masturbation. You feel good for like five seconds and then your done. I don't really think it's anything to get yourself worked up over or addicted to.

You might just have a lot of free time on your hands, so you spend the time by masturbating.

>You feel good for like five seconds and then your done.
You feel distracted suddenly from what you were previously doing by a unplanned intrusion and afterwards are left with no motivation or intellectual energy.

Look around retard, 99% of the population is addicted to lust and do not like to consider any potential ramifications from their sexual behaviors. They do not observe the interior motions of the mind either and therefore do not care about qualia such as will, agency, and self. Their jobs only serve to reinforce their false ditcheomy of their ephemeral states of fleeting elation and the misery they feel when they are apart from in. As the psalmist said, destruction and misery in their ways and the way of peace they have not known. While there is no God, clearly, these religious types at least usually held some ascetic insight into the human condition and what they said is perfectly correct. Wordlings are always discontented and miserable when apart from their brief reveries of pleasure.

>>14992573
I think a major problem with the NoFap mindset, taken as seriously as possible, is that the same ardent rejection of masturbation that is supposed to liberate one, can very easily inflate what is for most a bad habit and enervating influence into am unkillable Behemoth responsible for all of their life's ills. Not only does it induce a complex of discouragement and despair at every setback, it also displaces the blame for a person's poor conduct in other aspects of their being down to a single behaviour that can very easily be used as a scapegoat. Having broken out of that mindset myself and overcome my bad habits by allowing laughter and kindness into my discipline, it does not control me - for I have seen that Behemoth for the cringing dog it is and given it a good kick.

Good post my dude. I'm just starting to realize this myself. I'm such an idiot. But now I can see that jerking off is the least of my problems. It's all the other "jerking off" that I do - seeking deliverance from my problems by running from them, distancing myself from others, putting off work - that is going to be the end of me.

You can tell both your post and the one you replied too are midwit redditor posts. Seems the only intelligent people are those who are absolute semen retention advocates or unrepentant coomers. This middle of the road bullshit is just feel good self help tier drivel.

You misunderstood my post. I would endorse a perfect celibacy. Coomers and people who engage in sex outside of conjugal fidelity disgust me. I just don't think it's possible to actually faithfully live this lifestyle unless you get several other things settled first. You can't play videos games, watch TV all day, eat junk food, and be a celibate. Also, it's like Christ says, if you sweep yourself clean without filling yourself with something else, even stronger demons will move in.

>>14993374
>>14993454
Yes, you misunderstand - I have rejected masturbation and practice semen retention; what I was referring to was the tendency of overthinking masturbation into a mountain when it can be dealt with by actively seeking improvement in other parts of one's life too. There's no 'middle of the road' to it, just a more life-affirming way of attaining discipline. I hope I have cleared something up. (:

You have a thing called willpower & self control. You’re taking out anger on a literature board even though less than half of us are commenting on the pr*n. If you want change, go bomb the funders of pr*n or something
