Being a virgin for a long time can lead to severe mental illness.

>>11814468
He was witty and charismatic to the point he became chair of the royal society and removed every single picture of Hooke. He hosted dinner parties and was a charmer especially until his 50s. It was easy and legal to get a prostitute then so if he wanted to lose his virginity he easily could have done so. He had his mind set on higher things than DUDE ORGASM LMAO.

>>11814436
I agree with the point he is making. But Einstein had an active sex life, Feynman frequented strip clubs, Aristotle had a wife, Elon Musk( Not a scientist or natural philosopher but still extremely succesfull) has seven children and has married multiple wives. Personal indulgence can contribute to success or diminish it. Certain characters such as Newton were just generally less interested in non-work activities or any indulgences.

>>11814553
Einstein told his wife not to get affectionate with him when she brought him snacks when he was enmeshed and locked up in study. I think the trick is intermittent sexual abstinence. Abstain whenever you want to focus and accomplish something big, indulge when you're not. Let's face it, going to a strip club once a month is much different than watching hardcore pornography and ejaculating 2 or 3 times a day and constantly being interrupted by sexual thoughts and erections. We are what we repeatedly do.

>>11814421
A large majority of smartest people to ever live were celibate and didn't engage in sex with women, instead they dedicated their life to their work and study to progress the area further.

>>11814553
Tesla also never marrired though unsure if virgin. Athletes don't usually go to that extreme but they will abstain. Some fighters abstain for a whole training camp. Unaware of any lifelong athlete celibates except for maybe some monks.

>>11814421
He was crazy too

>>11814606
Tesla veered from becoming a priest prior to leaving Europe and lived life as a philanderer for a while, fucking prostitutes and women. He came to the conclusion it clouded his mind which is why he resolved to never do it once he had intellectually broken through.

>>11814421
Because he was a gay INTJ like me, and being gay was a death sentence. He was probably fucking dudes on the DL.

>>11814531
Sex is good, and you can have sex while doing other things. You’re coping because the fact you’ll die a Virgin upsets you.

>>11814560
>Einstein told his wife not to get affectionate with him when she brought him snacks when he was enmeshed and locked up in study

He didn’t like that wife, and had affairs.

>>11814614
You literally can't. It makes you apathetic and distracted. Before you do it you're horny and after, you're fatigued and unmotivated.

>>11814628
>You literally can't

You literally can. Have sex unironically.

> Before you do it you're horny and after, you're fatigued and unmotivated.

For like five minutes. I get really horny when I do leg day and after I fuck my wife, I get even more energized.

>>11814553
>putting Elon Musk in the same category as those guys

>>11814634
Elon Musk is going to put people on Mars. He’s more comparable to a Henry Ford than a scientist, but he’s still very important, intellectual, and hard working.

>>11814613
Also, tesla was INTJ as well, and women or normies in general, probably didn't make sense to him. We are great at understanding concepts and machines because they are consistent. People are fucking weird. They lie, women dont even know what they want, they are so fickle. Imperfect people demanding perfection as hypocrites.

>>11814613
If regular sex consumes 20% of your vital essence gay sex must be close to 100%.

>Muh MBTI pseudoscience

>>11814646
Its just an indicator of their thought process. An efficient way of describing their personality traits. Of course it's not 100% accurate, you fucking idiot.

Nice counter argument. Thanks for contributing something useful to the discussion.

>>11814421
because there is no correlation. Animals have sex too, you know.

>>11814649
Bunch of mumbo jumbo. I went from INTJ to ISFP just because I stopped being depressed.

>>11814633
I did. Sex and masturbation make me tired and lazy and only motivated to do more of the same. I'll do it 5 times a day and I won't read or do a damn thing else.

>>11814667

People assume Musk is good at physics because he's rich, although the only thing necessary for him becoming rich is scamming fanboys into investing in his crappy company. Now, if you say he's smart for doing that, then I guess I'd agree with you. If not, then I'd say save your money bud.

An autistic amount of intelligence is an impediment to sexual success. Being sexually successful requires interfacing well with the average woman, which involves a lot of dumb shit. For the longest time growing up I thought the players at my school must have silver tongues and know all the right things to say to get girls but really all they were doing was being dumbly confident and saying the first words that came to their heads and making a shit ton of super small talk until the girls totally warmed up to them. That's all it is. Sitting there and activating their verbal pleasure center long enough to reel them in and close the deal.

>>11814421
Because women aren't attracted to intelligence, retard. When Becky told you that she lied.

>>11815008
Never said he was good at physics.

>You literally can't. It makes you apathetic and distracted. Before you do it you're horny and after, you're fatigued and unmotivated.

All those could also apply to eating a rich meal or using mild drugs or whatever. Everything in moderation. Especially if you restrict masturbation and/or sex to right before you plan to sleep for the night, I think it's probably fine. If anything it could be a net positive if you normally have trouble falling asleep, because it could improve your sleep time and quality.

But, yeah, if you're doing it compulsively during the day (either sex or masturbation), it'll affect you in that way.

>>11815082

There is a sweet spot. Cum too much and you're going to become a pacified cumbrain. But if you do it too little your sexual frustration will build up and distract you. I like to keep it to 1-2x a week.

You got it backwards. High amounts of sex/masturbation adversely affect the most intelligent.

here’s the real redpill: newton was gay

>>11814421
He was smart enough to not get laid. That's how smart he is. Sex is a drag. So is procreation. Partnership. Etc.

>>11814421
A person can usually be summed up by the 5 friends/people they hang out with the most. Being with a low IQ woman will just bring yours down desu.

>>11814421
He thought of himself as asexual from what I recall.

>>11814421
better time investment could be find elsewhere
imagine prioritizing a stanky orifice over God and maths

>>11814436
Newton invented the coomer model of mental health.

>>11815905
getting girls back then was very much different then it was now. he could of got a girl if he wanted to.

>>11814531
>It was easy and legal to get a prostitute then
But extremly scandalous, if he got caught he likely would have lost his position in the royal society

>>11814421
because he didn't boast about it you numbskull

>>11817228
yes, far easier for autismos in those days when they had strong monogamy/religious norms. wouldn't have been hard for any other high status nerd, especially later in life in charge of the mint or whatever. i wonder if past a certain age with male virginity, a mental block forms and it gets progressively harder until it's impossible to lose. of course, i'm only speculating. he was probably just asexual and highly religious,

>>11817241
Even after graduating college could of got laid easily. Nothing would of stopped him. If anything the default would of been getting a girl he must of really not wanted one.

>>11817252
Just fryed an egg

>>11814421

I thought he was a gay? He spent his later life openly living with some guy when a tax collector

sexhavers are honestly pathetic. They are so obsessed with trying to prove that their lifestyles are really epic and fun, instead of just admitting they are addicted to a vice, no different than a heroin addict. Don't fall for it. They're just sad their lives lack meaning so they try to infect others with their filth. Sex is disgusting, dangerous and pointless.

>>11817671
Newton nibbled on mercury and was obsessed with bible code at a time when many learned men were breaking away from theism and idealist philosophical leanings. He was a scientific and mathematical genius with the gullibility of a retarded country boy

Really high outlier IQ are often low testosterone.

>>11817674
well he was a prenaturely born countryboy raised in quite a religious household.
the first is gong to cause stunting in some brain regions, he got lucky that the areas that compensated gave him super smarts.

>>11816761
You can acquire a level of ecstacy from research and art, i you are chasing women for orgasm then your mind doesn't need to find it elsewhere.

>>11817686
Exactly.

>>11817676
I have 800 ng/ml of testosterone and it isn't the main driver of sexual behavior. Habit is. I can abstain if I avoid anything that could arouse me and fill my day with useful hobbies, reading, activity and exercise and have done this for months at a time successfully. It's sex drive is more than just being a function of testosterone which itself is reductionist and in any case has been refuted in a study from the 1990s that failed to show any strong relationship with testerone and sexual frequency in a fairly large sample (only correlation they found was DHT which could be a consequence rather than a cause). I think low testosterone individuals manage porn and sex better and see less of an issue with it as their refractory period is hours and not a minute.

>>11814436
Sounds like the words of someone who was trying to cope with not getting laid. Plenty of geniuses had active sex lives.

He didn't want to

>>11817236
was it really though? this was the restoration, they were all degenerate as fuck back then

>>11814560
are you that 150 iq guy from the other thread? you write like him

Sex is overrated desu, especially by the spergs that never get it so they fetichize it, aka half of /sci/
Newton probably got all the dopamine boosts he needed from discovering stuff, being worshiped by the scientific community of his time and btfoing Hooke so he just didn't care enough to go after women

>>11817674
I'm not sure where you're getting that description from, but Newton himself had religious ideas that were rather radical for his time, and the religious orthodoxy of his day could have potentially killed him if he went public with his real beliefs.
