Well I think it's been almost a year since I last posted on here, so I just thought I'd pop in again for a bit. I don't know whether anyone remembers me or not now!:oops:
This last year has been amazing for me. Been traveling around the world with my wife, we have a baby on the way, and I've...
Just letting everyone know that I'm going to take a bit of a hiatus from BigFooty. I feel like I'm wasting more time on it than I should recently. I really need to focus on other things for a bit. I don't know how long I'll be away for. Could be a week or two, or it could be a couple of months...
See, this is exactly why should quit watching pr0n. pr0n use triggers these things. You have no idea how much quitting can help you with this.
Just try it. That's all I can ask.
But the negative mental health consequences that addicts suffer from make them too timid to do this stuff. An addiction is "habitual psychological and physiological dependence on a substance or practice beyond one's voluntary control". They may want to do this stuff, but they're held back by it...
I know that, and your Aspergers makes it harder, I totally get that, but don't let that hold you back. It's an obstacle, but not one that you can't overcome. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and they're reaping the rewards. Big time.
And you also wouldn't be the only one quitting...
Yes you do. Just get out there and find someone. Why would you rather jack off to some pixels on a screen than find someone in real life? Sex is only a minor aspect of the benefits of being in a relationship anyway.
Don't be like those old people that are filled with regrets later on in life...
Oh s**t, I just realised that you watched that video that you posted and now you think that I mean cutting out masturbation altogether.
:oops:
That guy was talking about something else, which also happened to be sort of a little bit similar to what I'm talking about. I only mean cutting out...
Does that mean that you can last longer in bed? Silver linings.:p
I have to point out that this sounds very, very similar to the pr0n Induced Erectile Dysfunction that some pr0n users experience. But yours sounds like there's something else causing it, so I don't know. There's a test to see...
Oh, wow, I've never heard of that before. It's good that pr0n can help you with that, and is probably one of the very few benefits that I can think of. Solo pr0n use is a different thing though.
Is there a name for the condition? I'd like to learn more about it.
Don't worry about it. It's just that you're the third person that has said this and it's not my intention at all. In my experience, a lot of people say that to avoid the topic.
You probably just haven't watched it regularly enough to strengthen those pathways in your brain that cause the...
You have no idea how frustrating and annoying it is to read that. I'm only trying to help other people with an issue that they may not be aware of. I have no agenda or ulterior motive other than a desire to help other people; no preaching involved. You seem like you really want to distance...
I should go in and take some photos. They're pretty ridiculous. "If you want to check the record TAKE THE BLOODY THING TO THE COUNTER!!!" "People not following instructions will be BANNED FOR LIFE". So inviting and friendly...
I don't think so. It's pretty hidden away. It's down a side street and you can see one of the plaza's car parks right near it, from memory. I haven't gone for a while now though.
Whoa! That's a revelation. I never would have picked that. You seem like you would have been the type of kid that collected footy cards and wore his Collingwood cap everywhere or something.:p
Does your Dad watch footy now?
I think I know that place. Pretty overpriced, and the guy has passive-aggressive notes and signs all around his shop. Good for a laugh at the grouchiness though.:p
One word: eBay. Look for auctions on there, and save them to your watch list and then bid at the last minute. I've gotten so many things dirt cheap from that.:thumbsu:
It takes longer than a month for a lot of people. The lowered sex drive is actually another thing that happens. They call it the "flatline", where things take a dip and last for about a week or so and then things shoot back up to normal again. You could have been going through that phase. Of...
Interesting point. Yes, I think it is a behavioural addiction, but I think a lot of people aren't even aware that they're addicted and that it's causing negative consequences until they quit and see the difference. They're still making more discoveries about this all the time, so I'm sure one...
That's a bit different from what I'm talking about, but some of the points are accurate.
What you have got to lose? Absolutely nothing. Don't judge unless you try it. I have a friend that is living proof of the benefits. You don't have to be single to see benefits; I've been in a relationship...
The longer someone stays away from pr0n, the weaker the pathways in their brain they strengthened from watching pr0n get. But a lot of cases that I've read have seen people go 100 days without pr0n and then relapse and binge on it again. If you know how shitty you felt from watching pr0n, and...
Yeah, I get that a lot of people are probably skeptical, but I've tried it just as a casual user, and I've seen some improvements in some areas. Even though I thought differently about it a couple of years back, it's really not a healthy thing when it comes down to it.
Surely you can go a few...
Do you mean avoiding all material that could trigger that stuff, e.g. sex scenes in movies? It probably doesn't help, but it isn't as bad as pr0n is. I think he's just managed to get himself into a frame of mind where it simply is not an option anymore. It's all in the mind.
But he definitely...
