I lost NNN and I regret it (every year I’m lying to myself by saying that I’ll do it this year, but hey, nothing I can do about it; tho the best thing that I can do for now is to survive till the end of the month with an imaginary HP left). Honestly, that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes down to the way masturbation addiction (won’t call it porn addiction, since the spectre of things that I was doing while ‘‘doing it’’ is substantially wider than that) has affected me. Won’t get into much detail, but it’s pretty bad. Gotta be honest with myself. Might be wrong, or right, but I feel like an important part of it is the fact that I’m still a virgin. I would love to hear anyone willing to share his thoughts with me. Your effort is much appreciated!
P.S. also, I’m posting this as a timestamp in my journey of battling this cheap butt addiction, literally
P.P.S. feel free to ask any questions
P.P.P.S. thanks for all the support, guys, you’re awesome
Don’t. NNN is incel bullshit.
“incel” is not a movement or a commutity, its a life circumstance when one experiences celibacy involuntarily. You should stop using that as an insult
Sounds like a community to me.
Wikipedia is biased, and in this case its straight up wrong. See their ‘circumcision’ article for example
Can you be more specific about which part you think is wrong?
‘incel’ is a life circumstance that has been existing for thousands of years, not an “internet subculture”. The closest thing to that is probably some internet forums
If you only want to use the word in the narrow literal sense, fine.
I don’t think that’s very useful. We don’t really need a special word for a virgin that can’t get laid. But we do need one that describes when people start blaming all women and form a misogynistic mindset around it. That’s how I choose to understand and use the term.
That’s like calling every criminal a n***er because of stereotypes associated with black people
what the fuck
No, it’s not anything like that. My point was exactly the opposite: If you’re just a virgin that can’t get laid but you deal with it like a normal human being, you’re not an incel. Just a virgin and there is nothing wrong with that.
It’s would be more like calling every one has every played a game a gamer. Technically true, but utterly useless as term.
Sure thing, bro. But at the same time, it seems to be a nice mental exercise, all of that internet stuff aside.
Well if it’s an exercise don’t tie it to a month. Just try not to do it and see how long you last and try to increase it over time.
I’m still not sure what the point would be or why you want to exercise that.
Fair point. The thing is that it has gotten pretty bad with time, and has affected me mentally just as much (low self-esteem, anxiety when going outside and a few others). All I want to do for now is get rid of the addiction itself, not the act. I can obviously allow myself to do it from time to time, as long as it’s healthy.
I mean if you even consider doing NNN it can’t be that bad? What do you think an addiction is? Are you late for your job because you can’t stop masturbating?
But if that’s not the case and you can go even just a few days without it and not doing it more than … well, let’s say 5 times a day (depending on age), it’s probably not an addiction.
