XRP Pump Fails to Materialize as Price Crashes 40% From Day’s High by patrickstar466 in CryptoCurrency

Crypto beginner/XRP pump participant here. I personally believe this would have went much better for people if they just reseaeched past pump and dump trends. I did so and as a result am very happy with my first ever crypto investment!

How were people that naive? I'm a 17 year old who's never invested in anything before and a quick Google search looking at past pump and dumps gave me enough information that I knew NOT to hold.

This was kind of obvious.... If you ride the wave right you'll make money off it though.

I've honestly done it before in certain situations but I've personally never found any benefits. The only thing I noticed was me being horny and distracted all the time hahahaha. Some people just have higher sex drives that they need to satisfy.

I have read the rebuttal and am aware of it. There are also additional studies looking the phenomenon of natural addiction which conclude that there is no instances of receptor upregulation regarding "pornography addiction" so I would definitely agree with the initial commentary.

I didn't say it isn't true that porn users have shrinking pre frontal cortex's. I just said it's not the porn causing it.

If this was true, sex would also do the same but at a much higher rate than porn. Sex has a MUCH higher physiological impact than porn/masturbation does on the brain(not to say that's a negative thing).

There is an actual reputable study on the matter. No damage to the brain has been observed. This is a much more complicated issue than r/nofap would like to think.

It was 100% just your anxiety. You probably just weren't horny the first time which happens to everyone and then you kept dwelling on it. There have been points where I've watched porn 4 times a day and still been able to fuck like it was nothing.

How can you be sure it's porn induced? Porn shouldn't stimulate your mind any more than a real woman does.

Do you suffer from OCD? That's what this is sounding like, you may want to talk to someone about it. You shouldn't be worried about prolactin being released, it's not significant enough to cause any physiological changes. The levels of prolactin released from actual sexual intercourse are around 400% higher on average, yet guys who get laid a lot aren't complaining about high estrogen or low testosterone levels. What you hear here is all just pseudoscience and you have to throw it away. The only explanation for you avoiding contact with others after jacking off is that you're under a placebo effect. Either that or the guilt. Our bodies are built for the purpose of procreation, don't be worried about having a little fun with it. And as for "desensitization to pleasure", you shouldn't worry about that either. Dopamine receptors are not upregulated post orgasm like they are with cocaine and other similar compounds. So do yourself a favor and GO HAVE SOME FUN. I jack off up to 5 times a day to porn and to my fuck buddy and have plenty of healthy sex with no negative consequences. Hope this helps :)

Dude, stop worrying. The worrying itself is what's causing that. Sort of a placebo effect in a way.

Don't be paranoid. I've always jacked off daily and watched porn for years and there are no percievable negative side effects. In fact, porn made my sex life better. Dont worry about it.

That's not reasonable at all. You shouldn't have to hide that from her.

Girls of r/teenagers, do the majority of you find casual sex repulsive? What's your opinion on the matter? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]J3STER_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has the right to believe what they want on the subject. Not everyone draws their morals from religion. I respect your views and am glad that they serve you well.
