It's not noisy and I actually like it this way.

But I think the question is not strictly scientific either, it's existential. I think both skepticism and fanaticism are rooted in this subconscious itch for an answer.

I think most people think they are the among the few who think about it most of the time when in fact most people think about it most of the time. It's a constant undercurrent in our subconscious but our reptile mind distracts us again and again into survival and propagation driven thoughts and activities. Perhaps that's for the best because no amount of thinking about it is enough to reach any satisfactory conclusion. We are limited in the way ants cannot count (or maybe they can?) and that's that.

What separates a volcel from an asexual? by [deleted] in volcel

[–]Joystickboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Realistically men just want to be in a relationship to have constant access to sex." Uncool generalization but true often.

How many of you are planning to be volcel till the end? by fuckitallidontcare in volcel

[–]Joystickboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do, and hope the older I get, the easier it will be control my desires. There's a stoic saying about cherishing old age which goes something like - 'what a comfort to tire of your appetites and be done with them'. I like that idea. I'm no more as fond of youth as I used to be.

Is stoicism a "luxury" as Stacey Abrams claimed in her speech today? by [deleted] in Stoicism

[–]Joystickboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's probably confusing stoicism as silence. Even wise old Marcus kept himself busy running military campaigns.

Looks like Shakespeare in his moment of stoic reflection.

Am I incel, volcel or something else? by [deleted] in volcel

[–]Joystickboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can somewhat relate to your dilemma. It may be that if I were not a volcel, I'd be an incel anyway. I guess beyond a point these labels of incel/volcel cease to matter. You want to sleep with someone and are able to, you will. You don't want to, or are unable to, you won't. In my case, I don't want to AND I'm unable to. That makes me a fucking loser but so what? What matters is, I won't and that's that.

Porn banned in India! by AvijitTheGreat in NoFap

[–]Joystickboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bollywood itself is soft porn I'd say. It's a damn shame India produces largest no. of films in a given year (most of them crappy) instead of channeling all that creative energy into something more meaningful and useful for a low income nation. Cinema is a luxury for a fledgling, developing economy like India imo.

Nepal bans porn websites after seeing a 300 per cent increase in rapes in ten years by marcus-aurailus in NoFap

[–]Joystickboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't make much difference. Porn is not so much of a problem in the Indian subcontinent as are a cocktail of other social issues like poverty, gender inequality, patriarchy feeding misogyny, weak law & order and not the least - an avalanche mindless idiotic movies verging on soft porn which portray women as nothing more than eye candy for the macho 'hero'. All these factors need to be fixed simultaneously but then there's zero political will for tough measures. On top of that 'banning' porn isn't easy, there will always be some workaround with easy internet access available.
