New Wave of "PornoSexual" Men

[BlessedLion]

This is a very mind blowing and terrifying article on where porn addiction, along with the shaming of porn addiction ("NoFap" , "Semen Retention", "Streak Culture") is headed. You have to realize that the porn today is not what it was even a decade ago, it's an entirely different beast and is tailored for addiction. Instagram, Facebook and even YouTube are catching on and many of these platforms are largely just porn funnels for OF creators. You'd be shocked at the amount of men today who have a porn habit that they can't actually kick and how deeply it is effecting their relationships, drive, work and mental health. Sexuality is our foundation as humans and is connected to our self-esteem, self-perception and sense of empowerment, also i believe watching other men have sex with a woman you are attracted to is harmful on a subconscious level, there is something about being the observer who pleasures themselves that cuts away at your own masculinity or ability to attract, so obviously i am a proponent of quitting things like porn and doing semen retention. But is shaming it and fighting it the solution? Well, this article shows you where that goes....

 

I think the reason these men create some sick humiliation out of their porn addiction is because those "quit porn" cultures have shamed them into thinking they are pathetic betas when they inevitably relapse. So it ironically turns into a fetish and the ultimate nihilism around their sexuality, masculinity, and life purpose. It's truly an issue on a deep spiritual level.

 

Instead of seeing porn as an indulgence like wine, a stupid movie, or sugary snacks, we treat it like the antithesis of masculinity and that one slip up redefines your whole identity and your streak. Thus, leading to a massive binge and relapse cycle rather than just "oh yeah i watched some porn this weekend, it's not ideal but i'm getting back on track." 

 

This article is actually a glimpse at the forefront of what is to come in porn addiction and consumption culture, and it's only going to get worse. Now is a good time to work on breaking this habit or at least having a healthy relationship with it. My estimation is there will be a whole generation of men who otherwise would've been fathers and had jobs who just surrender to the potency of this addiction and spend their lives in a sort of dopamine fueled hell.

 

Although i do think humans will figure it out in the long run, and the restrictions on porn will get better (it's insane that 10 year olds can access it and are being shown this shit on instagram, like come on guys), we are in a downtrend in human development- it's not just porn , it's the AI Brain slop, the addictive algoryhtms, that toxic and shallow dating culture and apps, the political delusion and lack of integrity and decay, the outsourcing of critical thinking to AI, the general nihilism, and the use and addiction to drugs (most people spend the weekends simply blasting their nuerons with substances) which is why i largely lay low, stay offline, meet people face to face, and focus on my passions and health while living in nature.

This is terrible. We need a massive shift but I do not see an easy path.

Weak, vulnerable, porn-addicted, no purpose, no vision, no social skills - and the list goes on.

Yeah, it's a tough situation. I really think many men are going to ruin their lives with this by not knowing how addictive it is before it's too late. This has already happened but I think it's going to be on a large scale until the government and other institutions step in. It'll be like how they didn't know ciggarettes were bad for you until it was too late, but this is even worse because it chips away at the psyche and brain chemistry on a deep evolutionary level. Not to mention the spiritual consequences.

Self-actualization is in great demand. Actualized.org is an infant. There is so much potential into the future. Hang in there

Also for the men that use Instagram, how do you deal with the “sexy” pictures or content that a lot of women like to put on that platform?

I have read that article.

Gooning is the natural outcome of algorithm's and many men accepting they have close to zero chance with women.
