Ahh yes, referencing three sites most of us have never heard of means they're beyond repute. I even skimmed through that first one and they're taking said Harvard scientist's research out of context to force the conclusion they want.

I offer you a counter-example: the fact that the vast majority of people consume porn and are doing just fine and dandy. This is the same bullshit as people claiming viewing porn makes men likely to rape women repackaged. Despite the dramatic rise in porn availability due to the internet, rapes haven't shown a corresponding increase.

Also, if porn's so bad why are you on this site and favoriting R-18 images? ( gelbooru.com/index.php?pa...=list&tags=fav:736269 ) Shouldn't you be only browsing safe images?

Go peddle your quackery somewhere else. Based on your nick and your favorites, my guess is you're a closeted homosexual who hates yourself because you can't openly admit you're gay. Stop posting bullshit online in an attempt to harm others and get the psychological help you clearly need. This is the last I'll engage you, since you're clearly a self-loathing troll.

The aptly named gayshit basically has a savior complex. I spit on all forms of "salvation". Demons make better bedfellows than angels. Seriously, look up Biblically accurate angels. That's some freaky shit.

That's your problem, then. The Path of Enlightenment involves replacing your conscience with conviction and self-control with instinct... Yes, that's a reference to something.

God complexers obsessing over "degeneracy", Anti-porn/religious lobbyists promoting biased pseudo science to gaslight ppl to feel bad over enjoying sexual fantasy. It's all peer-pressure and psychological abuse.

I don't exactly remember seeing people on the streets begging for money and promising their families they'll come back to them because of porn lmao so no you can't equate it to fucking meth and cocaine


Yeah which is exactly why Hindus and Buddhists practice sexual tantra.

I'm fucking done with this site, man. There used to be a genuine community of weirdos on here who were mostly comfortable with the fact that they were weirdos, and now there's nothing but drama over who is a pedophile and what religious beliefs you have about sex or whatever.

It seems like ever since I stopped coming here exclusively for porn and started getting a life, there has been more new members who don't really get it.

Since I don't really have the time anymore for this shit, I'm just gonna leave it to a new generation to sort it all out, but seriously, arguing about porn on a hentai site? What the hell did you come to this site for then besides to promote your retarded agenda?!

Dude, don't get too upset over one troll. Trolls just want provoke others, regardless they truly believe the garbage they spew or not. Gelbooru, from my experince at least, is a rather quiet place. Bad comments are scarce, forum posts that try to shit on others are rare as well.

I mean, if you've got nothing else in your life to feel good about, or you're really stuck in a hole drowning in shame about masturbating, then I guess some people choose nofap as a response to that.

Never saw that coming; the fact that while the usual religions would die away, there would *still* be a core of people that would be compelled to go around crying 'REPENT!', and that they'd have to plant their flag on something such as touching your own dickie.

There's definitely some downsides to porn, but there's also downsides to whiskey and cigars, and I'm not dropping those anytime soon, either.

It's all about moderation. If you think you have an addiction to masturbation, seek help.

If not, continue to fap.

Yeah thanks for the encouragement. I was ready to call it quits again. That user wasn't the only post I was responding to, though. More like the straw that broke the loli's ass. My posts have been getting more and more aggressive on here, and it just seems I'm not that well-liked, the more I speak my mind. That was all I was trying to say, but you're right about not taking it personally.

Anyway, I already posted elsewhere that if you never explore your own sexuality (part of which involves touching yourself), you're going to end up socially inept, like a primitive medieval buffoon. The only people who don't do it are mormons and weird new age faggots who believe it gives them super saiyan powers or some shit, and they consider the mental regression worth the sacrifice for some unexplainable reason.

The only justification would be that God is right, but then God is beyond all explanation, so that would make their lives unexplainable as well. You have every right to your own religion, but PLEASE keep it to yourself. I stand by this if for no other reason that if your beliefs defy all comprehension and must remain unchallenged in order to be maintained, then that's precisely why they're not my own.

That includes all the dogma in science. Those people may be right about everything, but last I checked, the way empiricism works is all its claims have to be challenged by other people's views so they remain unfalsified. How convenient it is, then, that the studies that you posted have only been verified by a select few professionals that are paid by large corporations to manipulate the masses!

It's by no coincidence that you have to back up your claims with sound evidence so as to silence all debate, when a sea slug could refute you. It has chemistry too, so clearly you know more than it does! Hurr hurr!

The sterile labcoat-wearing culture is one of conformity, where if one sneezes, they have to spray the whole building with germ killer before they can do anything. It may breed many discoveries about the atom, but has very little to say about our human reality. That is reserved solely for the artist.

I think my rambling has reached its end. You're all arguing from authority. It's not that we're too stupid to understand how dopamine can alter your state of mind; you're all too stupid to not have any conscious control of yourselves the moment any chemical reaction besides boredom and dullness passes through you.

It really is that simple.

I honestly thought their posts were being ironic. Arguing that addiction is measured entirely by dopamine is... a very silly theory, to word it nicely. I think it surprises precisely nobody that the brain releases a lot of dopamine during an orgasm.
