After finishing Persona 5 my fiance never sees me cumming

 

[Earthbound64]

Less interested in sex is a downside? Why?

Seriously.
Basically "Your personality is wrong."
Piece of trash offensive sexist article.

 

[Vigilant Gambit]

I've been playing video games chronically since the age of 4.

...

Ask me what is on my mind literally every minute of every day. I wish I had a decreased desire.

 

[DarkKyo]

The bad news, researchers report in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, is that they're also less likely to be interested in sex.

 

[Crankshaft]

I've been with my wife for 15 years. Being less interested in sex has nothing to do with me playing video games lol.

 

[Nickle]

Gaffers all prematurely ejaculate, it's just that the semen takes so long to get out of their incredibly long penises.

 

[RRockman]

Less interested in sex is a downside? Why?

It's not. It's just that society thinks if you aren't banging someone, you must have failed at life. A load of rubbish if you ask me.

 

[QisTopTier]

It's not that they are less interested in sex, it's that they are now only interested in their waifus

 

[Earthbound64]

Also - if they found a population with decreased sexual desire and decreased premature ejaculation, wouldn't the logical conclusion be that perhaps decreased sexual desire, and not the other factor, is the cause of the decrease in premature ejaculation?

Really an all-around horrible article, and study really.

 

[Ran rp]

So... less horny dudes. What's the bad part again?

 

[WaterAstro]

I ejaculate more than I play games.

 

[uncredited male]

The good news is that guys who play video games "chronically," which at least for the purpose of one new study is defined as more than an hour a day, are less likely to ejaculate prematurely than their non-chronic gaming counterparts.

We are used to grinding for hours for the promise of a marginal future payoff.

 

[Sanctuary]

I really don't get this part at all:

One theory is that gamers tend to experience an overstimulation of the pleasure hormone dopamine, which helps stimulate orgasm, so they build up a sort of tolerance to it that makes them less interested in having an orgasm and also less likely to do so prematurely.

Aren't they putting the cart before the horse here?

ex.

Our natural production of dopamine is at its highest during orgasms, especially following intercourse for both males and females. In fact, brains that are experiencing the big ”O" resemble those experiencing a heroin rush.

Besides that, dopamine is addictive, so what the fuck with this building up a resistance to it nonsense? It's like saying you become less interested in heroin the more you do it.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

This is so true, at least for me.

I find that when I go through real gaming binges where I'll play multiple hours a day for a week or more,my libido all but evaporates.

Soon as I take a break for a bit, back to normal.

 

[petran79]

But what if they are erotic games?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

are less likely to ejaculate prematurely than their non-chronic gaming counterparts.

Time is money yo. This should be a negative not a positive.

 

[Dereck]

Who needs sex when you can just complain about the 3DS getting games in 2018

This is one hell of a subliminal diss.

 

[Breakage]

Where's that image from that documentary where that Japanese guy says real women are dirty.

 

[BlitzBlake]

Is it unusual for people with less sexual desire to have less premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation has nothing to do with sexual desire or excitement. It's an anxiety thing.

 

[ScaryShark]

The only game I will turn down my wife for sex will be TLOU2 on release date.

 

[NewGame]

 

[L Thammy]

Where's that image from that documentary where that Japanese guy says real women are dirty.

I think you have that backwards. If it's the same image I'm thinking of, it's a yaoi fangirl saying real men are dirty.

 

[Maximo]

I mean Rule 34 exists.

 

[lastrealgameralive]

Until these document Nintendo fans versus Sony fans this is just another study to forget about...

 

[Breakage]

I think you have that backwards. If it's the same image I'm thinking of, it's a yaoi fangirl saying real men are dirty.

Nah there was a still image from a documentary where a glasses-wearing Japanese guy in an anime/videogame store was saying he thought real women were dirty compared to anime girls. I can't remember where it's​ from. I thought it may be from a documentary called "No sex please, we are Japanese", but I think it's from another documentary. People on neogaf have posted the image in the past.

 

[GKnight]

It's not. It's just that society thinks if you aren't banging someone, you must have failed at life. A load of rubbish if you ask me.

Active sex life tends to wquate with better mental and physical health but whatever.

 

[kaname-san]

The bad news, researchers report in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, is that they're also less likely to be interested in sex.

Why is that bad news? If you're not interested in sex, it's a big load off your mind, I would think.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

I have nothing mature to contribute.

 

[McStickenstein]

I need someone to... "help" me validate the results of the study. Any takers?

 

[data]

Why is that bad news? If you're not interested in sex, it's a big load off your mind, I would think.

Risk of birthrates declining?

 

[StromboliProtocol]

The bad news, researchers report in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, is that they're also less likely to be interested in sex.

Why is this bad news? I would love to be less interested in sex - not interested at all would be perfect.

Edit: beaten

 

[Version 3.0]

I have nothing mature to contribute.

Is this a sneaky way to say you're in the premature ejaculator camp?

 

[Kevtones]

Gf and I just played some puyo puyo while she was riding me and it totally made me more interested in sex

 

[PaulloDEC]

Man, I hate this diagram except for the wizards part.

It's strange to me on so many levels. Like, how is the "Time is running out" age a single year after the "optimal" age? And who in the hell thinks it's "cool" to be having sex at 13? Two literal children sharing a beer and having sex? Who wrote this?

 

[Lucumo]

Risk of birthrates declining?

Oh no, we won't contribute to the overpopulation of the world.

 

[JC Lately]

Son, I'm damn near 40. Video games aint what's causing my libido to down-shift, fucking time did that. And it sucks.

 

[GKnight]

Oh no, we won't contribute to the overpopulation of the world.

Oveepopulation only occurs in countries that are not "first world" for the last decade.

 

[Philippo]

True for me.

 

[Kurdel]

Usual anti-science knee jerk responses and nerds giving anecdotal evidence to defend their hobby.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I need someone to... "help" me validate the results of the study. Any takers?

This is why you need help to begin with

 

[Vital Tundra]

Super engaged in both. Being married is dope.

 

[Head.spawn]

I click on this thread, a 'Plenty-o-Fish' ad pops up at the bottom of the thread...

Lol

 

[Renegade Frost]

I find sex boring tbh

I really don't get this part at all:



Aren't they putting the cart before the horse here?

ex.

This study seems poorly done

Oveepopulation only occurs in countries that are not "first world" for the last decade.

Exactly, its basic science. Intelligent people are less likely to have kids, more likely to die from having a heart attack. Happens when you have high population numbers.

*stares at japan*

 

[GlassBurrito]

So...what's the bad news here?

The bad news is this is fake news.

 

[Shredderi]

Exactly, its basic science. Intelligent people are less likely to have kids, more likely to die from having a heart attack. Happens when you have high population numbers.

*stares at japan*

Yeah, propably.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Predictable. Nerds generally speaking have lower testosterone. Or it's actually the other way round. Testosterone makes you chaotic and more likely to want to be among women. Ergo, less likely to be a monomanic indoor gamer.

I have testosterone blowing out my ass and I'm still stuck here playing MOBAs.

Someone get me out of this prison of my own making.

 

[Poster#1]

It's easier for me to organize a raid group than get my wife into bed

Lmao 😂😂😂

 

[eso76]

I can't imagine what my teenage years would have been like without my chronical addiction to videogames then.

Also, being less interested in sex would be an advantage these days

 

[CrazyHal]

The last point is probably true. I play video games pretty much every day, i'm 26 and i never had sex before. That's not to say that i'm not interested in having sexual relationship. I'll like to but i have social issues due to my difficult childhood.

 

[Attack You]

Chronic gamer here and I love sex. Just hate everything I have to do to get to that point. Hate meeting your friends and pretending they're all likable. Hate meeting your parents and being judged all the time. Hate spending all the money on nice clothes that I just want you to rip off of me anyway. Hate spending time with your crackheaded sister's kids who have Kool-Aid for blood and a better data plan than I do. Hate explaining to your drunk co-workers that I'm not the 4th floor janitor at the office, never mind that I don't work there... Can we just fucking play some Puyo Puyo Tetris? I didn't even have to buy a second controller for this goddamned Switch.
