      Masturbation could be seen as any other bad habit
      Go for a walk , ride a bike , skate board , word search puzzle just do something that is good for you .
      sex and orgasm is what connects two people of the opposite sex with each other in a very deep way .

      I didn’t watch the full vid, but watching corn white stimulating sex causes a chemical reaction in your brain the convinces you that you have a stronger bond with the person in the video, which causes an addiction due to that connection that causes a positive stimulation in the brain. Better to just go on a run whenever you get the urges to see them as a punishment or transfer the positive thoughts from when you feel like beating it into positive thoughts when you exercise and make it way better for yourself. Just my thoughts:)

    I think it's so addictive because it's one of the easiest and most accessible ways to just make yourself feel an emotion that distracts us from *actually* getting our messed up life together and make a meaning out of it. Our brain gets exhausted just from looking at the amount of hard work we need to invest in our life to make it better, so we just choose to have an orgasm instead of taking care of our own life.

    • @insight1239

      @Glauco.gloster2007 I think Society is the culprit for the extra layer of shame/guilt many people feel during post-nut clarity. Because masturbation is seen as peculiar and a laughing subject when it's literally not. So, not discussing it at all only leads to people struggling with an addiction and not knowing how to get out of it while drowning in shame.

      @@RamadonPiano Porn does tend to have a much more negative effect on people and society. Most pornographic videos are choreographed scenes that do not reflect how real life sex, if done right, actually works. It's too rough/violent on both male and female sensitive parts, the "action" often comes too fast and early without proper foreplay, and there's usually no love or romance involved (which, if you have sex lacking love and romance, you are severely damaging your ability to have healthy relationships.) Then there are unrealistic standards for how genitals should look like, even though ones with "unideal shapes and colors" would still be otherwise perfectly healthy. Lastly, well... obviously, a person exposing themselves to the whole world does kind of hurt their dignity... 😅

      @@iPlayOnSpica That's only if you view porn in that way. We all know porn is fake, but you don't have to emulate porn in your sex life. Some people like it rough/violent lol. It's also strange to think that all porn has to be about love. Sex in of itself doesn't have to be about love. In fact I'd argue sex is a biological mechanism for reproducing. Love is a modern concept. There is nothing wrong with hooking up and enjoying yourself with someone, even if it's only for one night. Plenty of couples enjoy porn and in of itself is entertainment and nothing more. The people who compulsively use it and allow themselves to be consumed by it is a problem on its own. Just like gun. It's not the guns that cause crime. It's the owner. There are plenty of sex workers who don't give a shit. It doesn't hurt your dignity. It damages your reputation because society isn't open-minded enough to be tolerant of such an industry.

I'm thankful that I don't have the problems of masturbating to numb grief or trauma, because I know that it's not uncommon. While growing up, I was afraid of this huge change that was occuring in my body, but in many ways, learning sex ed and studying sexual anatomy helped me eliminate this fear, and has helped me live a much happier life.

While there have been times where I questioned myself as to whether or not I was doing it too much, in the end I recognized that I'm doing okay since my masturbation doesn't interfere with my responsibilities or daily activities in the way a true addiction would. It makes me sad that certain people and certain places deem the activity as sinful when it really isn't.

If marriage was a divine concept, there wouldn't be any variations on it, and there wouldn't be any need for legal paperwork.

    It was an addictive habit and it did start to have a negative affect as i craved for that feeling almost constantly. I was able to moderate to the point where i could continue my life without having it be ruined by masturbation. But i still did it excessively. And now at this point of a few years of that. Im just kinda tired. Like the feelings and stuff are still there but theres nothing new so ive sorta gotten bored and/or been searching for new ways of pleasuring myself. But also its allowed me to find pleasure in finding other things that arent masturbation that i really enjoy. My mental health is questionable but its not terrible. So im kinds just burned out from the almost constant masturbation for years. Very interesting video and learned about new things that it can have. Very cool👍
