I don't jerk off but look like left
Because sex addiction is real
They weren’t wrong but the issues is moralizing it. There is no deep moral component, habitual jerking off definitely makes you tired and keeps your energy drained and keeps you stuck in the sensual but it’s not “evil.” This is the same generation that smoked 8 packs a day, which also makes you old and drained.

If masturbation is such a tiring exercise for you, try loading 400-lb drums into a truck trailer all day like I do. Hard as it is to imagine, some of us have real jobs that force us to go outside not sit in an office trooning out.
can confirm
t. masturbator who did some no fap for some time and relapsed
>relapsed
Kek, did you plan to never mastrubate the rest of your life!?
nah
but there is difference between drink beer once per week and getting drunk every other day
That's common sense
yeah
but not for addicts
you think jerking off is on the same level as getting drunk?
anon
there is masturbation and there is MASTURBATION
there is drinking beer once per week and there is being shitfaced every other day
did you even jerk offd so hard that your dick get blisters? yeah it take hours and then you are exhausted as hell
sure it may not be on the same level as getting shitfaced and then dying from hangover but both of it waste of energy, time and is draining health both mental and physical
and both can lead to money wasting addictions
tbh dropping alcohol and smokes was much much easier than wanking
As opposed to what? It's an epidemic with the internet
I think it's somewhat unique in the amount of pseudo-scientific horseshit that was made up necessary to demonize something that was never really harmful to begin with and comes from a misreading of an extremely minor bible passage (Onan's sin wasn't wanking, which he didn't even do in the first place, it was disobeying his father's command to knock up his brother's wife with his pullout game) so the theological justification for it has been largely forgotten but the pseudo-secular ones to support it gained a lot of cultural inertia.
>something that was never really harmful to begin with
Fapping is one of the most harmful things you can do to yourself.
What I don't get is the people who thought it'd lead into worse vices (Syphilitic sex) as opposed to just withdrawing from the world for your own pleasures. CS Lewis has the right of it when he mentions the danger of the perfect infallible harem of the mind, rather than Kellog sex-shaming autism of seeing the ravages of syphilitic patients and over-reacting.
It's all like the whole devil's lettuce shit, and when you pontificate and moralize to this fire and brimstones degree like OP pic it makes people distrust you even when you are valid.
Right as opposed to alcoholism, fatty foods, drug use, promiscuous sex.
moron.
Man on the top left looks like someone who identifies as a masturbator.
>Abstaining turns you into Benjamin Franklin
Based?
Yeah, in a few decades you will call me Franklin
>the one thing
What other things are you talking about? Prohibition? If so I think we know the answer to that question.
There are infinite reasons why society dislikes men who sit around playing with their wieners all day. It's chimp-like behavior.
yeah, they should slave away in stressful, underpaid jobs and use the money to simp or pay the pension of some harpy
IIRC masturbation is still considered a mortal sin in Catholicism and several other large Christian sects. Given this and the stark increase in single men in society who can't find a real lasting relationship, let alone marriage, did the "need" to fap to compensate for perpetual loneliness and not wanting to deal with the religious baggage play a part in more people leaving churches in general?
You know I would not be surprised if a lot of men who stopped going to church did so because they were told to stop jerking off. Or at the very least, if that had something to do with it to some degree.
The Bible is extremely quiet on masturbation as far as I can tell. When did the religious movements get serious about it?
With the publication of Onania in the 1700s
Why so late? It certainly feels like what Christianity would call a sin. Pulling on your dick and imagining you're fricking a girl. It's not even mentioned in the Bible besides Onan, who was just pulling out. Did people just not fap much back in the day? Or is God okay with it since you need to do SOMETHING with that sexual energy?
If I stop fapping I walk around horny all the time and undress girls with my mind, which Jesus considers adultery, which is also a sin. I'm dating with the intention of marrying right now and a big part of it is to avoid sexual immorality.
