Fapping to porn linked to erectile dysfunction, because our brains our shortening erections for we c

[QUOTE=The Baconator;35594588]Fapping is ok, it's the fapping [I]to porn[/I]. Your brain thinks you fertilized the women on the screen.

Even then you should limit your fapping, so you don't become "tolerant" to the awarding chemical your brain releases. You can also recover if you start now as opposed to "it's too late!" Eventually your faps will produce more semen and be longer.[/QUOTE]

Oh good, sometimes mind-faps are better.

[Loopoo]

This is crazy though, guys who have girlfriends and have copious amounts of sex don't get ED. Why would porn do that?

[Nomad]

So you mean i should not be putting my arm on my dick and going up and down everyday?

I wish I could say the same.
The article has no idea what its like to sleep with a boner all night.

You just "rub it off", but a few minutes later, its back.

I started this in February. Before i started i was way to nervous to talk to girls had little friends, was depressed, failing at school and generally wasting time doing shit.

since i stopped, I have got with 3 separate girls, made loads of friends, gone from being a C student to an A student, started running, lost over 30 pounds, gained loads of confidence, started learning Chinese, become more motivated and happier.

During the first week it was difficult but after about 2 weeks you just gain loads of energy and motivation. I highly recommend that you stop using porn or masturbating, I am never going to go back.

If you have a raging boner that just wont go away, then you should probably go see a doctor.

I don't think anyone has as much sex as some masturbate.

You don't get ED from normal amounts of porn watching. You get ED from porn addiction where you at least beat it off once a day.

Dude, I'm 19 and beat off 4-6 times a day, sometimes more. It isn't that I'm addicted, I just gotta bash one out so I'm not horny as fuck. Annoying thing ever when I'm out with a group of friends and all the girls are "bangable" in my eyes, but only because my dick just wants to get wet. I get home, bash one out and think "What the fuck was I even thinking? I'd never bang her."

I remember saying this a while ago but I got box spammed by angry masturbators.

Can't tell if you're joking or not.

4-6 times a day is a sign of a problem and a clear indication of an addiction.

Also jerking off makes you more wanting to jerking off, so the only reason you're so horny is because you jerk off too much. Experienced it myself, sometimes when I beat off once a day I feel like beating off more until I don't beat off and it goes a few days and suddenly it's gone 4-5 days and I haven't really felt like beating off and then I might beat off just "for the heck of it" and not because I actually felt horny or anything, and then I can feel like beating off the day after, because I beat off the previous day.

Doesn't work for me, since that just turns me into a completely reckless adrenaline junkie.
Last time I tried, I ended up doing something stupid and (ironically) broke my right hand wrist.
Needless to say I didn't [I]just[/I] learn how to write with my left hand.

I'm not joking dude. Most people I know jerk off 4-6 times a day as well. I just find that if I don't jerk off, I come home from school way too horny to handle. I end up thinking things about every girl I come across and I just don't like it. Once I jack off, my thoughts are calmer and I can talk to girls without mentally undressing them.

I thought it was just because I'm 19 and my hormones are crazy? I figured they'd die down? But either way, I call bullshit on this.

Pretty sure when I get a girlfriend / wife, I'm gonna be having sex 3-4 times a day. How is that any worse than masturbating?

And masturbating 4-6 times a day isn't an addiction man. I whack off when I wake up then get ready for school, whack off when I get back, then again at night time. 3 times on a busy day, but weekends 4-6 times easy.

Sure a lot of others do the same.

Try to find a productive output for your energy.

The longer you do it, the more your energy goes towards productiveness rather than being out of control horny.

Also being an adrenaline junkie is fun and allot more interesting than not IMO.

i fap everyday fuck that.

I do maybe once a day. Maybe twice but rarely. But I can go without it for a week.

This.
I sometimes go "Lets not fap! hardcore! yeah!" but then in the end I take too long to go to sleep and just do it.
A friend of mine does the same, except she does it whenever she gets horny, and then falls asleep.

Kinda hard when there's no jobs available for someone at my age and with my level of experiences.
And my hobbies are expensive, so no luck there either.

It's not fun when you constantly have a sprained ankle, back pains or a arm in a cast.

So yeah, I think I'll just [I]you know what[/I] once in a while instead, since it's the least harming solution.

Or use your energy to get someone else to help you with that. (get laid once in a while)
not to hard if your are not too picky and give yourself lots of opportunities.

[QUOTE=Cructo;35596629]Is it okay if I fap to gay porn?[/QUOTE]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe it satisfies the same psychological need (ie you just fucked them).

[Thlis]

This just sounds really dumb and sensationalist.

[usernameztaken]

This is weird but... ok.

I usually do it once a day, sometimes I forget though. It sucks because the second you think about it after the first few days of not doing it you just get instantly too horny to focus on anything.

[QUOTE=Kabstrac;35598267]You sound unstable[/QUOTE]

Well blame the recession for that.
Constantly worrying about my financial situation and no jobs in sight (or only jobs that would make suicide seem tempting).
Doesn't exactly make it any better that I spend a few years training to get skills for most types of common work, and right when I was done with that, the recession kicked in.
That's like being kicked while laying down.
