my first post after lurking since the beginning is about porn and jerking off lmao.
definitely agree with the post regarding it is literally your creative force! all of us MEN hold the truly amazing potential to CREATE. robbing ourselves of this by just unpurposefully jerking off because we are say, idk, bored, destroys our creative POTENTIAL.
i understand tho, as we live in such a materialistic world, it is easy to get caught up in such SELFISH acts. by nature, we as humans are selfish and we must always strive to remove ourselves from selfishness (there is already PLENTY of that going around)! porn is but one example!
give up porn and the easy dopamine fix by learning to DISCIPLINE yourself. i find breathing techniques help to acknowledge the thoughts, experience them, and then refocus and ground myself. takes some practice but it can be applied to ANYTHING! not just porn! negative thoughts, other addictions, anxiety, you name it! the key is to REFOCUS and GROUND yourself. i've quit smoking pot using these ideas. though i still crave a good joint here and there, i feel MUCH more in CONTROL.
i'm not saying to necessarily quit everything forever because i also believe MODERATION is the true key. i believe it is healthy to relax but when using these things (masturbation, drugs, alcohol, whathaveyou) to COPE rather than to RELAX, it becomes a problem. i found i used many of these for coping with boredom and wouldn't be surprised if many others do as well.
in terms of jerkin' it, i reckon it helps to relieve a bit of stress and i still do occasionally.. MAYBE, once every two weeks or so. there's some taoist belief (i think) that does recommend healthy men to release themselves on OCCASION.
since then, not only have i noticed my testosterone levels are through the roof but my confidence as well! sex with the ol' lady is better and i MUCH rather share my creative force with her than a piece of tissue lmao. eye contact is easy, my voice is deeper and bassier but that's probably more anecdotal than anything. i believe it all stems from finally learning to be in CONTROL of not only myself but in taking control of my FREE WILL. afterall, everything happening these days is an attempt to take our FREE WILL. think about it a bit.
