actually shouldn't sex be a normal part of life just like eating, sleeping and drinking? But you don't hear people being shamed or labelled as bad for saying they are addicted to eating and sleeping right? lol

@@andyng5321 Experts say masturbation is normal and healthy. They even say it is good to prevent prostate cancer. But like anything too much is not good. The desire to have sex is probably the most important drive that any living thing can have, for without it, the species would die off.

[@supershifter2862]

@FLee-zf8pt Maybe for some or few. But most already feel shame or guilty about their addictions, at least I do since being shown at a very young age and being Christian at that time gave me quite amount of guilty and shame. But it was only later that me realizing the shame and guilty weren't helping and was causing me to be in bad relapses.

[@ningthings]

Shoutout to OGS for making this video-and to Teh Hsin for having the courage to reflect upon and speak about your history despite the social stigmas that may be surrounding these sensitive and personal topics. It was not only educational, but also sincerely heartfelt and genuine-and is especially important in today’s online space where younger folks may be in vulnerable environments and narratives. I’m happy that Teh Hsin has also received the social support from his ex wife and kids to get to where he is today. I imagine that it must be hard to decide later on in life to turn over a new leaf where there must be plenty of doubt, from both the self and others. May you continue to uphold the values you hold dear, and continue to like/love yourself infinitely more from here on out! ❤

i was the woman in his wife's shoes except i was only his gf and it was a short one. but it has damaged my confidence level and mental health beyond my imagination within a short span. i cried myself to sleep almost every other day during the relationship, i felt so unloved and unworthy. i wanted to help him desperately, and gave him all the love i could for him to change, but i eventually came to terms that it was out of my capacity. he has to want that change for himself. i can't imagine what his ex wife went thru throughout those years of misery. respect and love to her, i hope she's living her best life. ❤ as for me ex i still pray that he finds this video, learns from teh hsin's mistakes and changes for the better for himself and loved ones.

Bro Teh Hsin, you have my respect and utmost admiration for the courage to share this with the world thru the internet. A men's group for mutual encouragement and strengthening is definitely needed in this world. I encourage all men to find one that they can feel comfortable and trust in. Fathers can consider the Dad's For Life community started by a local Singaporean father. But I'm sure they also welcome other men, fathers or not. A word of encouragement to Bro Teh Hsin, His grace is enough.
