>beating your wife
Doesn't affect me. Even if I had a wife, the harm to yourself (let's be honest, all that matters is subjective reality), is minuscule. In actuality, the cause of such an effect (anger, malice, hot-headedness, etc), is far worse than the actual act itself.
>drug abuse
Only affects brainlets. Also, it's been proven that sexual urges are stronger than drug urges.

Abstaining from your natural physical needs only makes them more urgent and irresistible. After 10 days of nofap you will think of nothing but sex. There is no "threshold" beyond which you will stop thinking about sex. The further you go, the harder it gets. The need to let off your semen willl become an enormous distraction, so exactly the opposite of what nofap is supposed to do.

To oppose degeneracy you simply need to be balanced. If you think masturbating every day distracts you from your goals, then jerk it off once every three days. Simple as that. And if you still think it's not enough, then try it once a week. It's up to you. But you will never resist too long, because it's unnatural and unhealthy. Masturbation is not the same as drugs or videogames (or 4chan. Those are things that you can, for real, completely remove from your life, because they're "external" to your body. But sexual need is an intrinsic part of your very being, like the need to piss or poop. You can't eradicate it.

I know I'm gonna get a dozen replies because I expressed a very uncommon opinion for the standards of this board. However it's the truth, and you're simply dumb if you don't wanna accept it.

It's the opposite brainlet. Sexual behavior is driven by habit and if you starve the habit pathways, the desire abates. The problem is brainlets like you continue to lust and expose themselves to the occasion for arousal. Of course they're going to fail. If you would have taken it seriously and removed yourself from anything that could possibly stimulate you, and in place, read and filled your mind with good things, you would have found abstinence not only feasible but it would have served to lower your sexual urges and unclouded your mind. Instead, you indulge this, pretending it is taking care of the problem. Meanwhile, the porn folder in your memory, your human brain, continues to grow larger. The number of sexual experiences you had, grows. This creates multifaceted neuronal pathways that build on one another and the neuronal networking becomes so strong that abstinence one day becomes impossible. That is where you are. You have erred, and you are beyond repair. You are stuck being a hypersexual slave to your dick for the rest of your life because you likened it to pissing or shitting, which is a stupid and fallacious comparison.

Good post. However,

>neuronal networking becomes so strong that abstinence one day becomes impossible.

Is not true. Even meth addicts can recover from addiction given enough time--it's a personal hell to do it, but it can be done. Not matter how far gone you think you are, it's still possible to recover. Though obviously, it gets harder the longer it goes.

Neuroplasticity is a meme past your mid 20s and limited mostly to habit regions. Your contrasting point is moot if we consider that such addicts experience stronger sexual urges than drug urges, which means that masturbation/sex addiction is worse than hard drugs and requires even more power and effort to combat.

>Craving Responses to Methamphetamine and Sexual Visual Cues in Individuals With Methamphetamine Use Disorder After Long-Term Drug Rehabilitation.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29725310/
"that sexual demand might be more robust than drug demand"

Your advice, while well-meaning, is of false assurance and would give many some hope of continuing in their error as long as they have some time to repair it. Time is limited. Fix it before its too late.

do you think that lessening the habit of masturbation gradually works to get rid of it completely (once a week, then once every two weeks, once a month...) or it is better to constrain all at once?

[Anonymous No.14063664]

>>14063588
There is a hormone rebound which makes infrequent indulgence become very difficult if you're young. I suggest 1 week periods of no more than once daily where when you feel it gone, you decide from that moment to quit for as long as possible which can be months. If you fail again, remember, you'll be out at least a week. Ignoring this rebound period makes you associate abstinence with difficulty and will hinder your efforts at success. Just do not extend the lust or frequency of it during that time. Never view hardcore pornography either. Do not go on searches.

You left out a crucial part in your quote. Here's the full quote:

>Additionally, our results illustrate that the libido brain response might be restored, and that sexual demand might be more robust than drug demand, in individuals with MA use disorder following long-term drug rehabilitation.

*MA use disorder = Meth addicts

So they're making an uncertain statement on a specific group of people. In their own words:

>Therefore, our results might suggest that the brains of individuals with MA use disorder are more interested in sexual visual stimulation, rather than drug-related visual cues, with long-term drug abstinence, which are supported faintly by significantly higher subjective craving scores for sex than drugs in the MA group. This speculation needs to be verified by more rigorous studies.

The majority of porn addicts trying to quit are not necessarily also recovering meth addicts.

There might also be some sampling bias considering that all of the subjects in the study were Han Chinese. If they reproduced this with a completely different set of subjects of a different ethnicity (say CEU or ASW) they could eliminate any possible confounding effect from genetics. But the only paper I found that cites this one is a crazy study where they apparently injected Meth into Meth Addicts to study their brain response--but that has little to do with the sexual response.

Finally, and most importantly, the paper says nothing about whether the subjects (either control or test) were sexually abstinent during the study. They could all be porn addicts for all we know, or at the very least regular indulgers of the sexual response. In which case the only thing you'd be showing is that the response of a porn addict to porn is significantly higher than a long term MA abstinent's response to pictures of meth. A fair comparison would be between a long term sexual abstinent and a long term MA abstinent. Or between an MA addict and a porn addict. Even if we take the comparison as just, the study shows that completely different brain regions are simulated by MA and porn respectively. For porn it's the occipital lobe, which has to do with image processing.

Also the assertion that "Neuroplasticity is a meme past your mid 20s" is dubious at best. See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3480013/ which demonstrates a case where

>adaptive neuroplasticity [was] achieved with a behavioral intervention that induced positive affect in people with CHD

*CHD = Coronary heart disease

In particular the paper has to do with recidivism wrt to physical activity (which they hypothesize is due to maladaptive neuroplasticity). They show that the maladaptive neuronal circuitry is completely reversible even into old age. You *can* teach an old dog new tricks. It's a little harder, but far from impossible.

The argument for quitting porn should come from positive, practical grounds not dubious fearmongering.

This is why I hate addicts. You're all clearly "addicted" because you're all clearly retarded. There's no such thing as "addictions" — there's energy, and you have a lot of it. The "solution" is to reallocate that energy towards different "addictions." You don't "solve" anything by hiding the stimulus, but by finding a new one. The reason for your masturbation addiction is because you have no goals in your life.
