BENefits to READing? Anonymous Fri, Jan 6, 2017 23:15:12 No.8939230 [Reply] [Original]

An anon told me there are practical benefits to reading, I think they meant like mentally, but I asked them to clarify and they never responded, do you know what these benefits are?

Obviously if you read more words you'll know more words. And if I read a book about chairs I'll know more about chairs. But I'm thinking of benefits more... indirect.
I was thinking about like it improves your memory or something like that, does it do that anon?

the more you read the faster you read and the more you read

the more you read, you'll get either: improved empathy or knowledge (or anything if you read harry potter your whole life)

and it increases your textual comprehension (and we communicate mainly through words)

you can write better texts

when you're reading some parts of the brain are active and exercising, and it probably means something good (at least better than the alternative of not read)

Thanks for outing yourself as a retard. I was about to listen to you until you mentioned that there's science behind not watching porn and masturbating. Now I can rest easy calling you a dipshit, dipshit.

It's difficult, I admit, but in my opinion the physical and mental health benefits are very worth being cold for five minutes a day. Funny image, I laughed moderately :)
>>8939325
Say what you want, friend but Google 'your brain on porn' some time, even just to prove me wrong. You may be interested in the read! I read it last year to prove to myself that it was pseudo science but here I am now, haven't watched porn since 2015 and I haven't masturbated since July. I personally feel better about myself in general (among other benefits) but maybe it's just me. Give it a try friend! :)

Of you don't like it, you can ignore my post, friend. I urge you one last time to reconsider, however. Merely give it a glance.

Don't waste your time anon... like my father when I was growing up, he will use anything, any reason any argument, to not only 'prove' to us that he isn't addicted, but that we are stupid for believing so, when in reality we only mean to help. :)

>>	Anonymous Fri, Jan 6, 2017 23:52:18 No.8939390 >>8939377 I used to not watch porn and was constantly anxious and could barely have social interactions. It turns out I just needed to blow a load to calm down. Now I'm much more functional while masturbating TO PORN mornings and nights.

You guys are like a fucking cult. Any anecdote that disagrees is a lie, any that does is gospel. I'll bet you're straight edge and totally abstinent just to cover every vice. It must be easy to do nothing all day then brag about all those things you didn't do, like masturbate.

"And what did you do today?"
"I will tell you what I did not do. I did not touch my penis nor even look at it, even to urinate (mind the damp shoes). I also did not drink any alcohol nor smoke any plant, I daresay I didn't even look at a glass of milk (too spicy, upsets the taste buds). To me, today was another day of freedom."
"Sir I believe you to be the most virtuous man I have had the pleasure of meeting."
