[@RandomUser65213]

I didn’t watch the full vid, but watching corn white stimulating sex causes a chemical reaction in your brain the convinces you that you have a stronger bond with the person in the video, which causes an addiction due to that connection that causes a positive stimulation in the brain. Better to just go on a run whenever you get the urges to see them as a punishment or transfer the positive thoughts from when you feel like beating it into positive thoughts when you exercise and make it way better for yourself. Just my thoughts:) Edit: jsyk I didn’t watch the vid so these are just my thoughts from what ik rn.

[@kayefbutterfly]

I think it's so addictive because it's one of the easiest and most accessible ways to just make yourself feel an emotion that distracts us from *actually* getting our messed up life together and make a meaning out of it. Our brain gets exhausted just from looking at the amount of hard work we need to invest in our life to make it better, so we just choose to have an orgasm instead of taking care of our own life.

[@insight1239]

It's addictive because it releases dopamine to your brain, a high compared to normal activities during the day

[@haganeelric98]

Also, it's an activity that doesn't require too much time. Add this to the easy accessibility already mentioned and you have something easily addictive.

It Is all our society's fault

[@kayefbutterfly]

@Glauco.gloster2007 I think Society is the culprit for the extra layer of shame/guilt many people feel during post-nut clarity. Because masturbation is seen as peculiar and a laughing subject when it's literally not. So, not discussing it at all only leads to people struggling with an addiction and not knowing how to get out of it while drowning in shame.

[@RamadonPiano]

People are demonizing porn and masturbation is crazy.

[@iPlayOnSpica]

@@RamadonPiano Porn does tend to have a much more negative effect on people and society. Most pornographic videos are choreographed scenes that do not reflect how real life sex, if done right, actually works. It's too rough/violent on both male and female sensitive parts, the "action" often comes too fast and early without proper foreplay, and there's usually no love or romance involved (which, if you have sex lacking love and romance, you are severely damaging your ability to have healthy relationships.) Then there are unrealistic standards for how genitals should look like, even though ones with "unideal shapes and colors" would still be otherwise perfectly healthy. Lastly, well... obviously, a person exposing themselves to the whole world does kind of hurt their dignity... 😅

[@RamadonPiano]

@@iPlayOnSpica That's only if you view porn in that way. We all know porn is fake, but you don't have to emulate porn in your sex life. Some people like it rough/violent lol. It's also strange to think that all porn has to be about love. Sex in of itself doesn't have to be about love. In fact I'd argue sex is a biological mechanism for reproducing. Love is a modern concept. There is nothing wrong with hooking up and enjoying yourself with someone, even if it's only for one night. Plenty of couples enjoy porn and in of itself is entertainment and nothing more. The people who compulsively use it and allow themselves to be consumed by it is a problem on its own. Just like gun. It's not the guns that cause crime. It's the owner. There are plenty of sex workers who don't give a shit. It doesn't hurt your dignity. It damages your reputation because society isn't open-minded enough to be tolerant of such an industry.

[@thesteph8925]

@@RamadonPianonot arguing against your own willpower to control yourself and not be consumed by masturbation but for the general majority of men, using porn can become extremely addictive for them. Telling them to use it in moderation is like telling coke addicts to use coke in moderation.

Yeah. I don't demonize it at all. In my opinion it's a natural and healthy thing to do. But like most things in life, it's fine and healthy so long as you stop when it becomes unhealthy or injurious. Then when you're better you can resume, hopefully with a few lessons learned :D @@RamadonPiano

Ur channel is an inspiration and saved me. Videos like this can help and save other people, giving them informations of their thoughts or potentional actions. I wish people would understand why people do this type of sexual action to themselves. One of my friends did masturbate due to truama and stress. This video actually helped him and he was able to talk to me. Thank you :) You've also helped me from suicidal thoughts and depression. I hope you continue to help others too. May God bless you. ❤ 😊

I didn't play this video, it started automatically. I let the universe guide me. 🙏

[@mufinboi975]

It was an addictive habit and it did start to have a negative affect as i craved for that feeling almost constantly. I was able to moderate to the point where i could continue my life without having it be ruined by masturbation. But i still did it excessively. And now at this point of a few years of that. Im just kinda tired. Like the feelings and stuff are still there but theres nothing new so ive sorta gotten bored and/or been searching for new ways of pleasuring myself. But also its allowed me to find pleasure in finding other things that arent masturbation that i really enjoy. My mental health is questionable but its not terrible. So im kinds just burned out from the almost constant masturbation for years. Very interesting video and learned about new things that it can have. Very cool👍

[@michaelspinuzzi8127]

I’m very grateful for this video. I wasn’t aware that you weren’t supposed to self-soothe while masturbating. I’ve been doing it wrong the entire time🤨

[@redheadbelle]

Therapeutical counselling can be very helpful in navigating through possible traumata, difficulties, addictions to understand the possible reasons & needs behind it and helping finding healthy coping mechanisms to help enjoying life in a sustainable way. I love how the wife of Robbie Williams, Ayda, helped him to realise so he could overcome his addictions. Now they are living as a happy couple and Robbie seems happy.

[@TheAnezOne]

The worst thing is adult videos, no matter how many per day, they are still bad, but the deed is just a human needs, and of course if you overdo or do not enough, there are consequences

[@neowolf09]

Depends on the video imo. If it's some professional quality thing yea it sets unrealistic expectations, but there's a reason amateur is such a popular category. Imo.

[@Nowhere9]

Amateur is the best, I can’t enjoy professional videos.. too much acting and very little authenticity.

[@everyoneroasted]

Awesome, please make another one about "The Effects of Celibacy on your Brain" I think it would be very interesting to compare the two

I think post masturbation clarity comes from a restored dopamine level, allowing thinking of negative thoughts without being overly unhappy

You should talk more about this. There's lots of misinformation on internet, most of which has ideological or religious postures.

[@eigentlichtoll02]

it's also always difficult to tackle that up to 10% of the population can experience it as detrimental to them or addictive, while (as it seems) the other group sees it as something just neutral or even positive

[@allyjay7395]

Once a day to every other day, sometimes a few days pass and I'm not the slightest bit ashamed. When I start thinking about it, it slowly creeps in to the point I can't think about anything else until I do. I start noticing attractive men more often and the longer I go without the more men I wouldn't normally be attracted to become and I am more likely to engage in impulsive and potentially dangerous situations.

[@tearsintherain6311]

@@enfpgirlis pooping good or bad? It depends. It just is. The judgement is contextual and even then it depends on your perspective like is it bad for an addict who copes with their ptsd jorkin it to prevent ending it? Etc The same way pooping too much becomes an issue and too little is a different problem. And for whom? An adult maybe it’s weird but what about a very old person who doesn’t even eat that much anymore? Or a baby who poops all day Etc etc

I've been pillow grinding ever since I was 2nd grade, I'm 21 now. It's been like the only way to relieve myself before sleep, I do that almost everyday to tired myself, to comfort my body and to not overthink abt other things. It works for a long time but now I feel like my libido is getting low, that's the down side, but the good thing is that it helps me stay true to my desire living in a modest society

4. Sorry, but for chronic pain sufferers, an orgasm can be better than opiates. There's a time and place, always, but it's really one of the best painkillers ever.

[@hicknopunk]

Better? I am not sure. But in a pinch, sure. Do you take pregabalin? It is a nice med to enhance the duration of your other meds.

[@jld4870]

Very very short lived relief. There are other ways of relieving pain…non pharmaceutical. Takes just a google search and some discipline to be consistent with alternative ways of pain management.

[@zakosist]

@@hicknopunk not sure if its better for actually reducing the pain, but its better in terms of being less harmful for your body. And you generally build up tolerance to drugs if you take them over time, so they dont work as well

[@katehere9783]

As a chronic pain sufferrer, I can attest to that.

[@hicknopunk]

@@zakosist that is why I use sectioned meds as a PRN, at most once every 3 days. It reduces tolerance.

Sometimes post-nut has almost no impact on me, but when I had physical exhaustion or immense mental stress it feels honestly amazing. Like ten boulders getting lifted from your body you didnt even noticed where always there. Im not religious but I get ancient civilisations worshipping fertility/pleasure goddesses, especially when you dont even know its only the four tiny happy hormones being the chemical reason for your seeming transcendence into Nirvana. Your body knows whats right, your mind unfortunately sometimes doesnt. As with anything in life: keep a healthy balace
