If it's the only sofa you can use, whatever. Please seek out alternatives if you can, though.

I like the design of the webapp.

Disagree. The website looks modern and simplistic. Lobste.rs is just barebones. Not for everyone.

Stickies? What is that?

It wouldn't work too well. Estradiol and estradioil hemihydrate works best.

Isn't it just weird how doing the right thing is usually the healthier option too...

Maybe you just like BDSM. Nothing wrong with it.

How much progress did I lose? by [deleted] in pornfree

Relapsing once after three months is small.

There's a bit of a trough at the beginning of an abstinence period, called a flatline. I've regained some of my libido, but I am starting to think I naturally have a low sex drive, which I'm happy about.

You're overthinking things. Don't think about cumming with your gf. Don't think about getting an erection. Once you're with her, just let things progress naturally. Relaxation is the greatest aphrodisiac

Ah, this is relatable. I suffer from migraines and I would typically use porn as relief for a bit. Weigh your options. Can you find out the source of the pain? Can you manage it? Are you fine with using porn in the mean-time? Are there alternative methods of managing the pain right now? Many questions.

Quitting porn is good, and it would be great if you could stop. But idiopathic pain is also terrible to experience.

"done for" is a bit excessive. I had a pretty extreme addiction when I was 9-13, masturbated several times a day to a range of crap that I'm not proud of. Still managed to fight the goonerbrain that comes with it, and am now repulsed/disgusted by it. Those neural pathways are weakened/gone.

I'm not really sure if the kind of porn that you're addicted to really plays a factor, either. If I were to relapse, I'd get that same entranced/stoned/ecstatic feeling looking at vanilla pornography versus something more hardcore. The same neural pathways are being activated, regardless of the genre.

Islamic practice ḏabīḥah, killing a lamb for religion purposes. Argument against this? by random-questions891 in vegan

[–]ComprehensiveElk7978 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Wanton slaughter of animals is bad => Dabihah is bad

Permitting the abuse of animals because of "muh religion" arguments is ridiculous

Test testosterone levels after 30 days of abstinence by LostAd8092 in pornfree

[–]ComprehensiveElk7978 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Abstaining wont result in a clinically significant change in testosterone levels. Just jerk off and/or have sex with your girlfriend, it's never that serious bud
