>Neuroscience now knows that willpower is a function of the prefrontal lobes of the brain. Scientific studies have also confirmed that using porn over and over actually reshapes these areas of the brain, literally eroding our willpower and our moral compass. >Neuroscientists call it hypofrontality. Hypofrontality is a state in which there is decreased blood flow to the prefrontal lobes of the brain. Hypofrontality is observed in schizophrenia patients and is also observed in all manner of addictions. >“Compulsiveness is a good descriptor of hypofrontality. Many porn users feel focused on getting to porn and masturbating even when a big part of them is saying, ‘Don’t do this.’ Even when negative consequences seem imminent, impulse control is too weak to battle the cravings.” >The porn-addicted brain has trouble thinking logically. When impulses and desires come from the midbrain, instead of being moderated, the brain feels these desires as compelling needs. The prefrontal region is supposed to be able to weigh consequences and situations and judiciously shut down cravings, but hypofrontality means the addict’s ability to do this is impaired. >The more one masturbates to porn, the more dopamine is released in the brain. Eventually dopamine receptors and signals in the brain fatigue, leaving the viewer wanting more but unable to reach a level of satisfaction. The viewer becomes numb to things once considered pleasurable. “To escape this desensitization, people, and men especially, expand their pornographic tastes to more novel stimuli,” Black writes. This leads, again, to more fatigue. >To bring the prefrontal lobes back into working order, a two-pronged attack is needed: (1) the old neural pathways must be starved, and (2) new neural pathways must be built and fed, increasing dopamine levels in a way that build up the prefrontal cortex.

Retarded. The science is so general as to mean nothing.
>Reshapes orbitofrontal pathways
Along with all other rewarding experiences, this is so general it means nothing.
>Hypofrontality, "observed in all manner of addictions"
In the withdrawal stage of seriously addictive substances. Porn is not an addiction simply because it shares neural real-estate with addictions in the orbitofrontal cortex, so does eating and sleeping.
>The porn addicted brain has trouble thinking logically
Things that have not been done to support this statement: show that addiction affects logic at all, show that porn is addictive. I'm sorry your mom/dad/brother/sister/girlfriend loved drugs more than they loved you but that doesn't make your trashy BF Skinner tier theorycraft any more correct.
>hedonic treadmill theory of porn consumption
Is a confabulation of pseudo-scientific "facts" of such low quality they fit right in with "humans only use 10% of their brain". It's in your head, you don't actually need new, nastier porn every time. People have come to frame their curiosity about fetish behaviors as some kind of disease because it frees them from being responsible for the fact they're a pervert. Take your gay shit back /r/NoFap, or you know what, bite the fucking bullet and go to Confession already and deal with your catholic guilt the proper way instead of being a little asshole. Not catholic? Kill yourself.

That's the tricky part. For me I am exercising 5 days a week, eventually your brain will relearn to give you more of a reward for doing this rather than just from jerking off
Every time you masturbate you remove the instinct that gets you to try and find a mate to reproduce. You're cucking yourself.
You almost died? I think porn is the important thing to never look at again, not masturbating is important also but if you REALLY have to then you can I suppose. I find without porn you lose a lot of the desire to masturbate as well.
This might help. Yes the benefits are real. There is a reason Jews are behind porn studios. There is a reason they want you to watch it and masturbate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroplasticity

>In the withdrawal stage of seriously addictive substances. Porn is not an addiction simply because it shares neural real-estate with addictions in the orbitofrontal cortex, so does eating and sleeping. Are you saying porn isn't an addiction in some people? You're having a fucking laugh.
>Jewish Professor Boasts of Jewish Pornography used as a Weapon Against Gentiles
>
Is there a deeper reason, beyond the mere financial, as to why Jews in particular have become involved in porn? … (((Al Goldstein))), the publisher of Screw, said “The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don’t believe in authoritarianism.” Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged. … Extending the subversive thesis, Jewish involvement in the X-rated industry can be seen as a proverbial two fingers to the entire WASP establishment in America. …
>Jewish involvement in porn, by this argument, is the result of an atavistic hatred of Christian authority: they are trying to weaken the dominant culture in America by moral subversion. Astyr remembers having “to run or fight for it in grammar school because I was a Jew. It could very well be that part of my porn career is an ‘up yours’ to these people.” …
>Jews were also at the vanguard of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. (((Wilhelm Reich))), (((Herbert Marcuse))) and (((Paul Goodman))) replaced (((Marx))), (((Trotsky))) and Lenin as required revolutionary reading. … Pacheco was one Jewish porn star who read Reich’s intellectual marriage of (((Freud))) and (((Marx))). … In light of the relatively tolerant Jewish view of sex, why are we ashamed of the Jewish role in the porn industry? We might not like it, but the Jewish role in this field has been significant and it is about time it was written about seriously.

I stopped beating off multiple times a day years ago. Was a dumb as fuck cuck back then. Now im a sexy lady layer and dont jerk off cause i'd rather read up on whats going on in the world and than actually bang broads on the side when I feel inclined to. Life is good when you make a good wage.
Thanks for the spirit to keep givin er, Moonman.

To stimulate and reinforce new neural pathways it's best to meditate daily and learn a new craft, skill, language, or subject. Daily learning, exercising, and meditating will progressively stimulate new neural pathways, and meditation especially, will increase blood flow to the prefrontal cortex, thus effectively reversing the damage done by porn.
Also, travelling to new areas, breaking your routine, doing things differently, etc, will strengthen new neural pathways.
Ryder Cook
basically stop jacking off six times a day and get a proper hobby
Parker Sanchez

Meditation especially, is key to reversing prefrontal lobe damage.
Tyler Reyes
>But you're also not meant to fap in Christianity
There are MANY things that we do which we are not supposed to do. It's called sin. When one puts their faith in Jesus Christ, God sees us as possessing HIS Righteousness; we are not dependent on what WE do, but what He did FOR us.
Therefore, one who puts his trust in Him will never be ashamed; sin will not be reckoned to our account.
Of course, you can always try to rely on your own personal "righteousness," but that will mean an eternity separated from God.

>HOW USING PORN DESTROYS YOUR BRAIN
it doesn't destroy your brain as much as it destroys your ability to ever satisfy a woman, because you end up conditioning yourself to be a premature ejaculator
Jace Wilson
kys you cuck. your nation is dying as well as your people and all you can do is jerk off to drawings of children
Chase Ramirez
You need to be busy with other suff to stop fapping. 2 months ago i went mornings to do my service, then went to gym and after gym i just got on home to eat, after eating went to school and got home at 9:30 pm just to sleep and repeat the next day.
I Just fapped on weekends that way. Now that im not going to gym, i cant control myself and im fapping almost daily, shit sucks.
The easy way is kepping yourself busy and focused on something, something that will not make you want to fap. The kind of complicated way isnt fapping when you dont have anything to do.
Good luck bros.
Robert Morales
>doing something frequently means you're addicted
Better stop eating.
Xavier Rogers

Might be true.
On the other hand (pun intended), jerking off, along with sugar and coffee are the best ways to legally speed up your brain.
In fact, watching different types of porn will even teach you a good deal about women and how to make them happy. How are you going to learn new tricks without porn?
Yep.

Luke Peterson
But how do I focus on this thing when I have many other focuses?
I feel like the stress from my other activities causes me to seek out porn. I noticed this while I was in college before I stopped going. I would get home from a chemistry class and be extremely tense and hyped up, worried about the money I spent on gas or food or having enough time to study and I would always resort to porn to settle myself.
Jace Evans
Uh, try getting laid instead of wanking.
I found out it generally doesn't affect me as badly afterwards as masturbation does.
Adam Jackson
I can understand using porn as an escape but I have found with many things if you use something like that to calm you down after stress, your stress the next day will be even more until you do that thing.

Kayden Wilson
If I could be getting laid instead of masturbating to porn, I would. I have no idea how to be social with women. The one ''''''practice'''''' girl I managed (which was just a girl from college who liked me) I ended up getting so stressed out about that I masturbated to porn for an entire day before I met up with her. I had no desire for her then and ended up just eating her out, and it was the most embarrassing moment of my life such to the point where I now have to repress it even happening.
So how to keep my mind off of the stress after doing something difficult?
Lucas Allen

Also, it's the porn and rapid stimuli, not necessarily the masturbation/orgasm that's bad.
Luke Sanchez
That's tough and I don't think I know the answer... you could google for help but many suggest meditation, maybe playing video games or shitposting can help you, that can also become an addiction but it's less damaging I suppose. Make sure whatever you do to take the edge off doesn't become all you want to do
Cameron Gutierrez
Literally a sjw meme to force men to become dependant on women again for sexual pleasure. OP is a woman, she wants your dick but she's horrendous. The only way to get it is by starving you sexually until you eventually give in. 2 months later she will coerce you to marry her, have babby and divorce you for the money. Do not fall for this trick.

adding marijuana to the mix makes the "hypofrontality" all the worse.
i know 29 year olds who smoked weed daily since age 16 + masturbated about as much and you can almost sense their brain functioning in a very limited way. it's quite sad, actually
Caleb Hall

Every time you do something or think something you're building new neural pathways
Adrian Clark
If you're really serious about this what I did is install the free program K9, there you can select catagories of websites to block (porn being the obvious one) and add other websites to add to that block list. Use a password you will forget and when you are done adding all the porn websites you can think that aren't blocked by the catagory (most are blocked) change the mail to a temporary one so you can't decide to disable the blocker if you're feeling horny.
Jackson Sullivan
>(1) the old neural pathways must be starved, and (2) new neural pathways must be built and fed, increasing dopamine levels in a way that build up the prefrontal cortex. So, if I am addicted to porn I have to stop watching porn or fapping for 1 year?

This is very true. I used to smoke weed for years (as well as porn and wanking obviously) and can literally feel how I've made myself stupider.
Jace Johnson
>Varg >redpilled
Justin Roberts
To be honest, I was exactly like you, user.
I found that wanking was too comfy for me to give up, then I fell for the nofap meme and went full-blown cold turkey. In a few weeks, my dick had regained its strength, and I actively became social just to get laid.
The pressure is immense, it feels like the gates of hell are waiting to burst forth from my genitals.
Fuck, man, self-control was hard. But I persevered by duking it out on running and competing in trialthons next to solving calculus problems. Basically, if I wasn't working, I was studying, and if I wasn't studying, I was running to the point that I was too fucking tired to even wank anymore.
Finally got laid a few weeks after that. But damn, that was the first time I had sex, and that remains the best sex of my life thus far.
Don't give up, and don't let the jewish degeneracy influence you further.
Zachary Gomez
People usually say 90 days of no porn and no fapping to porn will fix you if you have a bad addiction.
Elijah Barnes
Another way to block is to do something along the lines of using your hosts file to stop DNS lookups github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Christopher Ward
Cut off porn first. You don't have to stop mastyrbating at first too. Eventually your imagination comes back to you. Then you can start working on cutting back the masturbation. Once you get there when you look at a girl with a big ass or whatever your self control is back and the urge to wank is A LOT easier to control. In fact it makes it 20 times easier to talk to girls, because your brain is wired to now find a mate and not to wank. I have a gf now because I don't wank anymore. Good luck.

Yeah I did that one but found I'd go to the trouble of going into the hosts file and taking the website out to fap... I didn't think twice, once you're in that state of mind it's really hard to control especially if you've fucked your brain up for so many years.

You can do it mate. I started looking at porn at around 9 years old (if only my parents knew what was on the internet) until 20 and now I'm dedicated to this.
We are the first generation to be exposed to this easy to access degeneracy but we will be the first to beat it.

You are literally promoting degeneracy. If this many people think they have a problem then they do.
Having some self control over your dick is the first step to becoming a man you limp wristed wanker.

Wyatt Butler
Yeah man, I was beta as fuck. I looked like the average carbon-copy of a poorfag chink, and wanked for the majority of my teenage and university years.
Since wanking was so comfy, why bother with getting laid, I thought.
Besides making me too tired to fucking wank, running and the trialthon training made me somewhat ripped, and gave me a fuckton of stamina.
I got laid with a qt 3.14 german exchange student who had a crush on me for some reason. Fuck me, man, I miss her now.

17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
essentially what God is saying is when your done take a bath
as for pornography it is a no no
Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Romans 7:7
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
