Support NeoGAF

[Stet]

Wait. I just thought of something. Do women wash their toys after they use them?

Not like in a dishwasher or anything like that, but in a sink with soap and water, right?

I'm sure some don't, but I bet most do.

 

[Konosuke]

I might get in the next "Contest" if GAF is still holding those.

The universe is challenging us with this news and I'm up for it. Where is Costanza?

 

[Staccat0]

This guy seems to have a good point. I'm sure the effects of porn aren't the same on everyone but I'm also sure that it has some effect.

Yeah, it helps me go the distance

:I
:/

So what if I switch to erotic novels? Would that make a difference?

I actually quite like this idea. I've been on the Internet for many many years now, and I don't know whether it's my age or just desensitisation, but so much stuff online is boring to me. I like it when stuff has context, it makes it hotter. So maybe some written filth would do it for me...

If you're having trouble with arousal during real sex, stick a dildo up your butt.

That was one of the worst TED talks I've ever watched.

Funny story, when I lived with my ex girlfriend, I came home from a job interview and found her pants off with a vibrator in her hand. The computer was in the main room of the apartment so she had no time to pull her pants on after I unlocked the door and came in. I didnt say anything and took her to the bedroom. Best sex I have ever had.

Excellent.

You encountered just the right mix of sexual frenzy and embarrassment.

Gents, take this as a lesson the next time you get caught fapping.

It's somewhat the same with me. For me porn is just something to get off to in about 10 minutes or less, but if I read something and get into it first, then I enjoy myself a lot more in the end. It's the same with women, having some kind of connection is way better than mindless sex, so I don't think porn has done anything to me.

Mom won't be happy about this.

 

[Crescendo170]

it's the porn. the constant stream of non-stop videos, trying to find the right one to finish to. all those hot girls doing more and more extreme stuff, your brain think that's semi-real...

if you can't masturbate to imagination, using a soft grip and finish in under 10 minutes you probably have a problem.

I can't cum unless I beat the shit out my dick while watching some girl gagging and slobbering on cocks for ~20 minutes, so i guess I'm affected. My sex-drive is pretty much non-existent these days as well, as I only jerk it as an aid for sleeping or as an outlet for anger.

If anyone feels like starting the challenge again, sign me up!

Holy crap dude... you're broken. You're like a cartoon of a broken person. It's both tragic because I can empathise, but also funny because you're not me.

Yoda sure responded to this topic!

I was feeling open lol

I don't mind, laugh away. Feel better about yourself.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

I don't care, laugh away. Feel better about yourself.

I think that "outlet for anger" is the funniest/scariest thing you said. I don't think I've ever done it angrily, I'm usually quite cheerful about the whole process.

Or... you could start today and stop ruining your life.

 

[comedian]

After watching this, I turned to my gf and said: "i think i might be a porn addict", she looks at me at says "конечно"(of course).
So it's decided no porn/fapping for a month, however I will continue to have sex

 

[Piano]

Jesus...you should definitely take a break.

Reading this thread I felt guilty about looking at porn once every ~2 weeks even though I have a girlfriend. Am I a bad person?

Most porn these days sucks anyways. It's formulaic, purely visceral and devoid of any personality. I can only enjoy amateur stuff, where the people seem like they actually, you know, love each other. Or softcore.

 

[Crescendo170]

You would be amazed. If you're raging in a multiplayer game, nothing'll cool you down like a wank.

I'm quite content with most aspects of my life.

 

[Wazzim]

Thanks for the link. I love TED talks.

 

[Atramental]

I only fap once a week and it's usually to some girl on YouTube flexing her toes and feet. ">_>

I don't know what's more odd: That it doesn't take much to get me off or that my sexual desires are very "vanilla" compared to some people...

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Holy crap, that's even worse!

It's times like this I'm happy I'm married. Even if I wanted to sink to these depraved lows of single-male-dom, my wife would not let me. Honey I just got stomped in Halo, brb... rrrraaaaaagghhh!!

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

You can throw me in the camp that has had no negative effects from porn consumption. I guess I could see how it could happen but I really think it's probably an individual thing.

 

[D23]

im on day 13 without porn/masturbation..

i feel like god seriously, i dont care if its placebo or not but damn this feeling is amazing.

 

[Plywood]

I might get in the next "Contest" if GAF is still holding those.

AFAIK "Contest" aren't allowed. But what if we held our own Great Porn Experiment?

 

[Tajin]

I keep trying to quit fapping to stuff on the internet but the neocosplay thread keeps getting me.

 

[Tesseract]

here's me watching porn:

Now you're thinking. Do it Plywood!

I remember last time we had the Contest I dropped out. Sometime after that I read up on the negative effects of porn and pretty much stopped cold turkey. Funny how helpful a little push is.

 

[Oozinator]

I finally decided to stop wanking to porn. To celebrate and mark the beginning of this new era I went to an erotic massage parlor for the last time ever yesterday.

Do we still get banned for quoting avatars? I might risk it, anyway.

Edit: Is there any truth to this? – "Do we still get banned for quoting avatars?"

We're going to find out that this study was funded by a conglomerate of pimps who were upset at how much porn was cutting into their profit margins.

Edit: Oooh last time ever. I read it as first time ever somehow

 

[DMeisterJ]

I'm not sure if this porn experiment works for everyone, but it definitely didn't work for me. I didn't masturbate for somewhere around 5 weeks a year or two ago, and I didn't feel much different at all than before.

 

[Verelios]

Wow, this is really weird. I actually traveled to Canada for a Seminar, and am staying at a friends place.

Have not touched myself once in two months, have had no inclination to do so, and I don't particularly care. I mean, I still go on dates (Canadian women are pretty fucking open), but my sex drive is kind of complacent.

*Have not watched any sort of porn in two months. Have been having some weird ass lucid dreams.

 

[Douglas Quaid]

After quitting porn for 16 days I've got more energy and drive than I know what to do with. I can think more clearly and feel more creative and willing to connect to life and people.

Don't be a porn apologist, porn is trashy garbage that hooks you on super-stimulus. Get off that shit and retain all that sexual energy, it's a huge payoff.

 

[speculawyer]

Seems like it is too focused on what porn does to "me".

I'm more curious as to the largely societal effects. Marriage up or down? Rape up or down? Divorce up or down? Of course it is difficult to disentangle the results with other things like the economy.

 

[Dice]

It's not about being a porn-apologist, it's about being a truth-apologist. If people use and experience it differently, and have different experiences when going off of it, more research needs to be done on its effects and human nature. You seem perfectly content just spouting off blanket assertions according to your personal experience, and that practice in and of itself, regardless of topic, leads to many problems in society.

 

[Zaptruder]

Hmm. It's kind of an interesting talk, and I hope it inspires further studies.

I'm kinda interested as to what it is about porn that leads to such negative outcomes.

Is it just the nature of addictions in general? If I was addicted to sex, would it be as bad? Or is there something going on with porn... kinda like how some people talk about artificial sweeteners - i.e. the brain kinda knows whats up and gets shitty and depressed, even while another part keeps squirting the reward chemicals with each wank.

 

[turnbuckle]

Wait. I just thought of something. Do women wash their toys after they use them?

Not like in a dishwasher or anything like that, but in a sink with soap and water, right?

yup. My girlfriend has this stuff called "cum clean" haha.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

I wouldn't recommend going more than 14 days without sex or masturbation. I once went 2.5 months without either, and while my mind and body felt great, my penis was not appreciative when I broke the dry spell.

Truth-apologist, eh?

As the video stated, /r/NoFap is the control group at this point. Go over there and read the personal experiences of everybody who has gone off porn for an extended period of time.

These are not blanket assertions and are not just based on my personal experience, don't be so goddamn daft.

Tell me how you are closer to the truth here?

At this point, for people who are undergoing this experiment, the data points towards a certain outcome. The studies will come in time, for now we are doing this ourselves and reporting our own data.

 

[Oozinator]

But the large amount of semen ejaculated after a dry spell is kinda satisfying.

The fact you're using a reddit group as a control pretty much ends it right there.

 

[Douglas Quaid]

Wow, nice use of "facts". You must be really smart.

It's a group of people who are committed to no pornography use and no masturbation for 90 days who are reporting their experiences as they reach their goal. "Reddit" has nothing to do with it.

As it stands at the moment, it is the only place to have a large collection of people undergoing the same experiment.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

I'd never get in the "Contest"

If I retained all that I'd be humping chairs.
