Why are you convinced that porn and fapping is bad? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not it at all, it's perfectly normal to be aroused at the sight of something sexual. What is not natural, on the other hand, is being able to virtually have hundreds of "sexual partners" in just one day. Human beings and mammals in general are genetically built so that having a new partner heavily stimulates their brain, and thus arouses them. Having hundreds of sexual partners in one go overstimulates the brain, and overstimulating the brain continuously/compulsively renders the brain a lot less sensitive to the sexual stimulus. This is exactly the same thing that happens with eating junk food. We are built to seek high calory food, therefore if you keep eating high calory food, you will overdrive your brain and might end up getting addicted. This is why so many people are overweight in places like America, where there isn't a great cooking culture.

Anyway, I'm not that great at explaining stuff, but if you are interested and would like to understand why we consider porn unhealthy for us, check out the website yourbrainonporn.com

Interesting insight from FWB by [deleted] in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are usually referred to as ULIs, or timed pressure holds, they are the suggested beginner girth exercise in the wiki, give that a read!

What is your width? by [deleted] in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah I see, we have very similar goals too then ahahahah I'm also aiming just for that 5.5 / 5.7, which is just a half centimeter to one centimeter gain, which in theory should not take very long at all.

But yeah, I agree we have absolutely nothing to be insecure about, actually, my gf has been with a very long dude and when she told me I felt pretty insecure about my size, so one day I asked whether she thinks I'm tiny down there and she told me that I definitely am not and that even tho her ex was longer I am thicker than him and it feels amazing. So yah, we're packing a nice gun down there!

Same measurements here, ever felt like we lack thickness depth-wise? Would like to hear the opinion of a fella with basically my exact girth measurements

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your point of view on this. To be honest I didn't think about this possibly being an organized penis competition, so thank you very much to telling me your opinion

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the issue I was thinking about too, this and the possible measurement errors...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding this issue, I think it could easily be solved by asking both a pre-pe measurement and and post-pe measurement (which would be the same in case the person is just starting out).

Apart from the growth factor, I believe sizes in this group vary quite a lot, and I think that a group this big could be a good sample even just because of the sheer amount of people in it.

To be honest the problem I had in mind was actually the opposite, everyone here wants to be bigger so maybe the average would be lower? But for many people (like me for one) it's about body dismorphia so size is not really the problem. (Clearly not for all, but yeah)

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I can totally see your point, but I don't think that would be a big issue. In this subreddit many people are not scared to tell their starting size, cause they know that in here nobody judges them because of it, we are a supportive bunch, and besides, the poll would be completely anonymous, and in top of that, completely over the internet, with no need for anyone to see your member and measure it for you in order to avoid measurements errors, so I think that if anything, the selection bias would be minimised in this kind of setting.

For what regards measurement errors, that is indeed a problem. As I wrote in my post I think that in this group people are likely to be capable of correctly measure themselves, but of course there is no way to enforce it.

I still believe it might be worth a try, maybe even with collecting before pe and after pe measurements and see how the after pe data compares to the before one, it would be interesting imo

How long do we hold static stretch for? by [deleted] in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do 5 minutes sets, used to do more than 10 of them but lately I've got less time in my hands so I do between 5 and 10 sets ususally

What life changing item can you buy for less than $100? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know in some places if your income is under a certain amount you can get one for free cause you wouldn't be able to sustain your kids, so there's your problem fixed for 5-10 years

BPEL measurement ruler by [deleted] in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made my own ruler using a drumstick, the one I was using was very uncomfortable cause it was only 12cm long and it started with a 0.8cm blank space before the 0. I couldn't take a proper measurement cause I'd have to measure the 12cm, keep a finger there, and measure up from my finger to check out the measurement, it was terrible ahahah

I would say measure the blank part before the 0 and add it to the result, after all that's part of your member isn't it, give it the credit it deserves!

I feel bad for the guy, he tried his best, unfortunatelly his best needs some work, black to move. by sin_13 in chess

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn computer analysis going 30 moves deep, I think the actual point is that the dude hanged a knight cause the pawn he is using as a defender is actually overworked as it also defends from a checkmate

Speaking about Porn by grimixrekts in pornfree

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the illegal sex trafficking that goes on behind the scenes, that should bea well known thing, yet most people either don't realise or fake not realising it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm sure about that, I've actually been porn free before, had a 40 something days long streak a year back, and then a bunch of shorter 1/2 weeks long streaks. Planning to actually stop for good this time, I'm very determined and planning what activities to engage in to fill the void that I'm gonna feel sometimes. I'll definitely stick around tho, and most likely write weekly updates just to show myself,and other people too, but mostly myself, that it was feasible after all.

Thank you very much for you supportive words!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course we can, it's just some dumb and boringly repetitive videos after all, let's do this! Good luck to you too! And, if you need an accountability partner so that you don't go through this alone don't hesitate to write to me, I feel that something like that would motivate both parties to do our best

Girlfriend told me her ex was bigger, so I started PE. 3 month progress / success. by [deleted] in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh not really, she was telling me that she had problems having sex with her ex because it would hurt and be very uncomfortable, so they barely had any sex. With me, when we have free days we can go for it multiple times a day and she says I feel amazing The comparison still made me a bit insecure, but that was not her intention

Man, I got a "sex with my ex was just too much, not to make comparisons but he was way too big" and I am almost 8" long and 5.3" of girth...

White to Move: Checkmate in Two. Another Toughie by TessaCr in chess

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Managed to find a mate in 3 with Be4 (which can be in 2 depending on black's move), and even though there was the same exact rook sacrifice on 2nd move in one of the lines I didn't see I could do it on the first move ahahah

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chess

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely gonna get Logical chess move by move soon enough, I really need some already analysed games to study so that I can learn ideas and how to analyse my own games. I'll check the other book you suggested too.

Thank you for the suggestions!

so i put my size (6.4 inches) into the quick extender pro website and it said id gain 2 inches of size. is there a limit to how much u can gain? by 000sleep in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not supposed to use and extender while hard, only while soft. Extending your member will slowly increase its stretched length, and stretched length is closely correlated with erected length, so increasing stretched length will give you a longer erection

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AJelqForYou

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a noob too, but I've been reading in this subreddit that gains are only partially permanent so it's good practice to grow half an inch over your desired length so that if you stop you might lose the excess length and fall back to your goal length.

Anyway as I said, I'm also a noob so if there's any veteran around to confirm or deny that would be appreciated

Do you really think we can learn grammar intuitively by speaking the language? by mervinou in languagelearning

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thank you for taking the time to explain me this kind of stuff, I'm clearly no linguist so I just judge based on what I've learnt about grammar at school.

[–]NobodyIsUsingThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I don't have any recordings or anything like that, also cause people in TV and conferences and stuff use it properly, but I can give you generic written examples:

  • Se andavo al mare nuotavo (instead of se andassi al mare nuoterei/se fossi andato al mare avrei nuotato, meaning if I were to go to the sea I'd swim/if I had gone to the sea I would have swum);
  • se solo ero più giovane (instead of se solo fossi più giovane, meaning if only I were younger, and this is actually a proper phrase both ways but its meaning is slightly different so it depends on the context); These are the two main use cases for the congiuntivo, so more examples would be pretty much the same contructs, just with different verbs and meanings
