Fucking retards
Been no porn for awhile I noticed that my desire to even want to look at it is at zero.

the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.
Physical Addiction Defined
To say that an individual is physically addicted on a substance means that they have an increased tolerance for it, and they will experience physical symptoms should they try to stop or reduce their intake substantially. These physical symptoms are more commonly referred to as withdrawals and they can include:
* Nausea and vomiting
* Body aches
* Seizures
* Changes to pulse rate
* Changes to blood pressure
* Noticeable shaking or body tremors
* Headaches
* Sweating
* High temperatures
* Changes to respiratory rate
* Diarrhea
* Restless leg syndrome
You're not an addict - you're just bored
You can fap without porn though.
Another mistake the liberal retards of the 1960's never fucking thought about.
What does Sup Forums addiction do to your brain?
Physical symptoms aren't the worst part of even cocaine and alcohol addiction, mongoloid. The problem is that you're reinforcing a sub-personality in your head every time you watch porn. Porn is a supernormal stimulus and it's an abuse of your dopamine circuit. Everything you did which led up to the exciting session of watching 40 different women getting pounded in HD, will get reinforced. Fetishes get reinforced and all other activities give less dopamine. Stop watching porn. It's probably good to keep masturbating unless you're a monk.
you can
for example nude pics of women or imagination or idk something else
So I found a large photo collection of some perfect big breasted woman and looked through it.
Was a really relaxing enjoyable experience, my brain was really turned on and I could just enjoy looking at her body. This is after a week of not looking at nudes.
How many people feel like that anymore? No porn just makes you appreciate straight forward things like that.
>NUDE PICS OF WOMEN
Nudity isn't pornography.

Porn addiction isn't real. Gary Wilson's endgame is to shill his wife's new age woo woo tantric sex website:
Keep drinking the kool aid.
I wish i had never ever got into porn
I have all these weird fucking fetishes and desires that drive me crazy all day because i cant fulfill them
Stop watching porn for a year then.
Aiming for once a week, just imagination. Thoughts?
holy shit,thank you user.
This explains a lot of things.
>Only listing symptoms of physical addiction
nigger please
The only guys who are still denying the benefits of stopping porn (not full-on NOFAP, just avoiding porn) are the ones who haven't tried it.
Not jacking off 3 times a day also helps you fucking freaks, twice a week TOPS, but STOP watching porn. Masturbate with your MIND.
Even if the YBOP guy is Satan incarnate, that's not an argument. It's common sense that porn is addictive if you know anything about addiction. Have you ever watched porn? Have you felt how intense of a stimulus it is? Repeating supernormal stimuli like that over and over causes significant brain changes because the activity entails a massive dopamine response. Just try to quit and notice your cravings. And notice how those cravings reside once you've let that porn-seeking circuit slowly fade away while building other circuits on top of it. Is gambling addiction real? Is alcohol addiction real after the physical symptoms are gone?
>Masturbate with your MIND.
that still fucks up your dopamine levels
well, i don't have to worry about that for at least a couple of eons
i feel sorry for you brainlets, but i'm also utterly disgusted by you
>correlation=causation
So based on what he said, if I ejaculate while playing the piano, will that created increased dopamine while playing piano or just increase dopamine when ejaculated at the piano?
>tfw been fapping at least 3 times a day since I were 14
Yes but you CHOOSE what to reinforce.
I think of my girlfriend when I fap now and now I am always way more turned on around her and sustain powerful erections more easily for longer.
Do people understand its the frequency it burns out your brain. Forcing you to search for better stimuli.
will it grow back if i stop watching?
This probably doesn't mean anything since I don't have a source, but I've read that there is some degree of recovery that occurs.
When I was a kid I warmed up a cup of water and tried to fuck it. It wasn't a good idea.
I've always found crossdressing and BSDM absolutely weird, but after years of that, I'm into both now. I love being treated like shit by a girl while I'm crossdressing. I love spit. I love ropes and whips. I love cold, vibrating stainless steel dildos. I love fisting, and I love big, throbbing cocks.

Ok
thanks for sharing
cant wait for all the replies that fail to read the joke here
>Sup Forums addiction causes your brain to shrink
i wil never understand this porn horseshit, get out there and make some white babies you pieces of shit. i have 14 children of various races and youre just gonna chalk it up to bad circumstance and not even try to fight it? fucking pussies. do we even deserve to thrive? of course we do now go get it you pathetic sacks of trash
>i have 14 children of various races

fucking degenerate

You don't know what you're talking about. Your brain physically changes when you do anything repeatedly. The reward system gives more potent chemical rewards to a musician with 20 years of musical experience than it does to a guy reading about tone and rhythm for the first time. It's not addiction – that's just how the brain works. How do you feel about fat people? Because you can't argue that porn is addictive without arguing that food is addictive. The superstimulant meme covers that, too. How about heavy metal? Video games? The internet in general?
People who face problems with these things have a willpower deficit and lifestyle issues. If you put 6 months of work into developing the willpower muscle and tried to stop masturbating for a week, you would manage it without a problem. If a drug addict put 6 months of work into developing willpower and tried to stay clean for a week, he'd last a day before snorting coke. True addiction is the inescapable dependency created by substances that fuck your brain up in a way that isn't just neuroplasticity in action. "Addiction lite" is a lack of self-control that makes it more difficult to resist base pleasures.
Donor?

No, it'll just make you get hard and feel an urge to jerk off every time you play piano

Youcant fuck water you nigger.
I can't fall asleep without jacking off. What do I do if
I want to stop but also need to fall asleep more
than 4 hours before work?
...
This shit, I love it.

How long until you start stuffing your face with burgers and blaming genetics?
It's either porn or marry this czech girl so she can live in the US... but what if living with her is a life of hell?
If porn watchers stop watching porn for a while, they will notice intense addiction-level cravings, so the statement "stop watching porn for a while" is a good argument to show how it's an addiction. It's not like saying "stop breathing for a while" because that's a fundamental activity to fucking live. You have to be retarded to compare those 2 statements, which the rest of your post seems to indicate.
I know that the brain is neuroplastic and that healthy activities cause brain changes. I am not stating that any brain change due to dopamine is negative. This is a matter of degree and a matter of what exactly the brain change is. When the subpersonality you're building to seek more and more of an activity is severe enough, that's when we call it addiction. There's a slight addictive element to food, music, video games, the internet etc. But if porn is significantly addictive and to be avoided, it does not mean that all these other activities also are exactly the same way. It's a matter of degree, severity and implications.
Wow. MFW i saw "the fatal consequences of masterbation"
>implying semi-frequent ejaculation is a basic function on the same level as going to the toilet
The only implication of not ejaculating is that you might get a higher risk of prostate cancer. Not fapping gives you nocturnal emissions anyway. And not watching porn != not fapping.
Whites are the biggest threat to the Jew World Order, so Jews are working non-stop to destroy us.
>divorce
>she doesn't get a citizenship
3 years have to pass in a marriage in order to achieve what she wants
You guys are idiots.
I'm not gonna masterbation for a couple of weeks to prove you wrong. Fuck you
Wrong. You experience the same cravings a fat person feels when they eat a salad. It's funny that you're trying to hand-wave the food addiction thing away when the same man who argues that porn addiction is real also believes that food addiction is real on exactly the same basis. But you'd look like a fool on Sup Forums if you sympathised with fat people, so you just pick and choose what you want to believe instead. Also, if you want to go down that road, lack of ejaculation and sexual activity may not kill you outright, but studies have shown time and time again that it has an impact on your health, and even decreases longevity. Like, say, low-grade sleep deprivation, or malnutrition.
Every time you mention the word "dopamine", I sort of cringe inwardly, because it signals your lack of education. You keep mentioning it as if it's the be-all-and-end-all of addiction, when the neurochemistry behind addiction is much more complicated and dopamine only plays one small role. It's like you're trying to give your argument some sort of authority by name-dropping the only neurotransmitter you know about, without realising how simple it makes you look. You talk about degree and severity as if you've a knowledge of all the different factors that might enter into addiction, but did you ever stop to consider that people with developmental disorders like ADHD, for example, are much more likely to tick the criteria for masturbation "addiction" than the average person? And that is just one of many things impacted by impairment to executive function, instead of an actual addiction? The point being that there are a myriad alternative explanations for what Gary Wilson dupes suckers into believing is addiction that you have never even thought about. But, by all means, keep memeing people into believing they have an addiction based on your own half-assed research into the subject.
get czechfu
there is no "porn adiction" it's just you being bored, just get a hobby (ex:reading ,sports ,video games) and you will most likely stop watching porn
Christianity you mean?
I wouldn't say it was boredom, but it's not addictive. You don't see bums on the street begging for money to finance a broadband connection. A person doesn't need to be locked in a room for a week to go through a withdrawal process to get them to stop watching Brazzers. Using the word "addiction" to describe people who lack self-control is a dilution of the term.
Whites are a threat to all life on this planet, and that is why they must be destroyed. Whites create civilizations so advanced that they threaten to consume the entire planet.
Whites also value weakness over strength. They view people who have balls to break the rules as "bad people" who need to be punished, and they view weak people who are obedient as "good people". And so they have created a system where the strong are punished and the weak are rewarded.
That's how we ended up with a world full of mindless sheeple.
I told you it's a matter of degree. Some people probably have food addiction severe enough to be called an actual addiction. It doesn't matter. That's a different subject. My argument is not predicated on all non-physical addictions being exactly the same in every way.
The brain is the most complex object you can talk about. Of course saying "dopamine response" is a simplification of the super complex mechanism for giving the drive to do activities. I'm not fucking name-dropping 'dopamine' to give an air of authority, the behavior reinforcement mechanism is just a part of my argument.
>You talk about degree and severity as if you've a knowledge of all the different factors that might enter into addiction
Wtf. And finally, there are many alternative theories about the effects of porn, but the most likely theory is that it's an addictive activity with bad consequences.
