I've found myself enjoy black comedy stuff more recently. But I don't think I have a favourite

My entire reading habit is contingent upon any sexual actions that occurred recently. If I've ejaculated, I won't read a single page. The mind goes out and it's not capable of anything worthwhile for another day. If I'm aroused, I can't read. If I masturbate I can't read. If I have sex, I can't read. My life revolves around when my last orgasm was and the only time I'm able to muster any vigor to do intellectual heavy lifting are those increasingly rare days where I wake up, avoid incurring a single instance of sexual arousal. These days are mostly gone. I wake up most days thinking of sex, masturbating, and this leads to menial existence. I can get by just fine but the wherewithal I once had for reading, the clean mind, farewell to them all. I don't find gratifying these base urges at this point all that great and long for a return to my pre sexually active self. This is why I torture myself so, hoping to again recapture this rare state. The moment I cope with this, is the moment I surrender.

kek, I haven't been here since a long time but this made me remember why I used to like this place so much.
My life is pretty much the same but I actually can read after ejaculating. Reading and consuming information is my base state.
I wonder how many men are addicted to masturbation like you, almost all 4chan and me.
