You forgot the "I need to sleep and the post nut nap is a good way to get sleep started option.
And maybe also, wierdly, the possibility “I need to get up and having a wank seems like a good way to get the systems starting up.”
Either way, they all fall in the category of, what I’ve come to call, the Keine Lust Fap, named so after the Rammstein song. You’re fapping, not because you’re horny, but because of other reasons.
How did you know I was masturbating?
You totally killed the mood.
They used to tell kids they would go blind if they do this. :)
That was so wrong on so many levels if you ask me.
Jokes aside there’s really some truth in this. I’m not sure if it’s the dopamine or that I just need to disctract my mind away from the things that makes me anxious but I sure as hell don’t do it because I’m horny. I don’t even remember what being horny feels like.
And no, I’m not one of those nofap/pornfree fanatics. For most people there probably is not an issue there. It’s only when you spend 6 hours several times a week doing something like this that you might start to consider this may not be good for you.
i mean i think the problem is less whacking one out and more the fact that it’s what you have to resort to to bring some joy into your life
Well ofcourse it’s a combination of things but I feel like there something to the theory of how overstimulation like that drains your dopamine reserves (or something) and kind of makes you numb to more mundane positive experiences.
that really just sounds like victim blaming to me, by that logic couples that have sex often should be miserable too but the precise opposite seems to be the case
Well I’m the victim of my own behaviour and I’m definitely not blaming anyone else but myself. Also, there’s a difference between doing something in healthy amounts and being obsessed about it. I don’t know about you but personally I feel like wasting 20+ hours into porn and masturbation in a week doesn’t seem healthy. It my not be the sole cause for ones problems but it’s definitely not helping.
Maybe it’s because you share the experience with a SO. Doing it alone can bring momentary joy and relief, but in the long run, it can’t replace sex.
It’s that or be 300kg. Like not feeling horny, I swear I don’t feel hunger, I just eat to be happy. There is a balance between food and fapping.
I can be two things.
Cuz I have restless leg syndrome and when it’s bad it won’t let me sleep otherwise (RLS is sometimes treated with a dopamine agonist).
I was scratching my balls and one thing led to another…
How else am I supposed to sleep?
yes
