Love to hear the insight..


What people say and what people do are two very different things."Studies"? Give me enough money and I'll give you a "study" that proves chickens have lips and get a hundred "experts" to sign on to it.

Really? How so?

I went on a first date with someone who told me he was on the "nofap" sub on Reddit and had previously had a porn addiction. He explained that not masturbating made him much more motivated to seek out sex and opportunities for female company. It creeped me out & made me uncomfortable because he made it clear he wanted to get sexual (on the first date), and there was no way I was going to sleep with him. I felt there was a lingering expectation that I was his reward for not masturbating & watching porn.

He did strike me as someone who might be a bit "MGTOW" because of other comments he made.

I think there's nothing wrong with masturbation. But there's a lot wrong with porn. Some of the porn out there is very weird, some of it degrading. I'd not date someone who used porn.

I didn’t know I was supposed to be keeping track...
Old thread. What brought this on, the weekend?
Maybe there’s a need for a new sub forum for Romantic Relationship with Yourself?

So, no sex? Is that what we're talking about?


Gee, somehow I don't think that's a new concept.


I believe a trip to the library - Religion section - will probably answer a lot of questions.

If you were born in 1983 and you want a male partner at or around your age... this ^^ expectation is extremely unrealistic. Not going to happen..just not

Already had plenty of male partners my age who are not interested in it.

My American partners (when I was much younger) were the most enthusiastic users of porn, just an observation.
