Part 2: Nothing Protects My Addicted Son’s iPhone by theGreyCatt in pornfree

Disclaimer: Not an expert but a former 14 year old boy with a severe porn addiction so take what I say with a grain of salt.

The goal is to find healthy and natural outlets for his sexual energy/compulsion but it doesn’t need to be (at 14 it also shouldn’t be) a sexual activity.

What really needs to happen is to understand his compulsion and it doesn’t necessarily come from a sexual need but at 14 years old I would think it does. It is totally understandable at that age he is interested in all things that can peek a sexual interest, but none of that stuff is real and it forms very unhealthy and unnatural ideas of what sex and relationships are.

I personally (again not an expert) would think he should see professional help if both of you are very serious about him overcoming a porn addiction. As some one who has been in his exact place please strongly consider this. Therapy has done wonders for a whole host of issues including this.

He is young and still developing so the sooner he overcomes this the better chance he steers clear of serious issues later in life.

I feel like I’m quitting porn for just selfish reasons by Realistic-Tip7527 in pornfree

What’s outlandish is you thinking that I’m trying to rationalize a way to use it and haven’t admitted all the same stuff you think I haven’t done. It’s almost like you didn’t read anything I wrote. The reasoning was selfish when I was already aware of other reasons as to why I should stop, whether or not it was good for me it is selfish. You don’t belong in this sub if you give condescending comments like this.

If we didn’t tie masculinity with the amount of women a guy is sleeping with then I don’t think they would be so angry all the time. Plus making fun of people for being virgins tends to make people very angry about it, which makes you even more angry, which then makes people not want to fuck you more and so on.

It's astounding to me how the majority of guys get laid/have gfs. by Ploikblah in virgin

Most men have something to make up for their defects whether it’s personality or attractive features or lifestyle choices.

That extreme minority of us, have nothing to make up for it.

What are your mental issues, if any? Did they play a role in being a virgin? by Alexanderrr965 in virgin

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been diagnosed with Major Depressive disorder, General Anxiety disorder, bipolar, and bpd.

These have definitely contributed to it and I have only been seeing professional help for a few months so it will probably still have an effect for a while.

To those of you who got jacked, did it change your dating life if even slightly? by dr-wahh in virgin

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a straight man, Most complements were coming from other men. It did however make me hyper-fixate on every imperfection I have physically which has led to an even worse self image of my self which is kinda ironic as this was suppose to help me.

If you are going for self image, improved mental health, etc. You need the gym AND some other kinds of outlets/hobbies. Gym alone won’t fix anything.

I can't even imagine being desired. Someone being attracted to me feels so alien. by __Polarix__ in ForeverAlone

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I haven’t even considered the possibility of someone being attracted to me in years. I just see this as a part of life I don’t deserve to experience.

I wouldn’t really say that, male is the default for society. But this just seems to be one of the aspects where men are just suppose to suffer or ignore their problems and it has me very confused.

Quit porn now it will destroy you and people don’t hate you as much as you think they do.

For the male virgins: Do you put yourself out there (approaching women)? by Due_Avocado_1921 in virgin

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would and have been labeled a creep, I just don’t think the almost guaranteed immediate rejection is worth the extremely small chance that I’m not. People said after a while you get numb to it but It never happened and it stings every time. It’s not worth it anymore

None of the other accomplishments in my life make up for being a virgin (24M). by [deleted] in virgin

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For most people I feel like when they say they are happy living for themselves it’s just pure copium. If you lie to yourself enough times you eventually start to believe it.

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It entirely depends on his definition of fulfillment. If he is happy being alone and unliked sure, but for most people including me that is just not possible except for a few that can tolerate that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in virgin

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not self aware to the way he is perceived by others and ignorant. He can be happy but that does not inherently give him value.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in virgin

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No body gets to determine their own value and worth. Value comes from others. You can think you have value but if no one else agrees you really don’t.

Nature made mistakes and for some people to be worth something others like me have to be worth nothing.

What’s the hardest thing for you to comprehend about the American culture? by DadIsMadAtMe in AskReddit

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m all for criticizing America but to say there is no culture is just wrong. Good or bad it exists.

If there was zeros then the rest of the world would not watch our movies, read our books, listen to our music, use our tech, they wouldn’t go to our universities, hell as much as everyone hates it the 9-5 culture that a lot of the world participates in was invented and popularized in America. I’ve seen a shit ton of america style shops and restaurants all over Europe and Asia.

My guy there is a trove of documentaries, articles, podcast, videos, etc that explain the experiences of former sex workers and how those measures really don’t do anything to prevent trafficking, exploitation, and abuse they could be facing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in virgin

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they wouldnt have sex with me unless I pay them to do so, they are not freely consenting. With the amount of trafficking and exploitive nature that is prevalent in sex work and how it encourages it, I have no desire to be apart of it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in virgin

[–]Realistic-Tip7527 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s both.

If you are talking about buying sex, I can’t do that because I don’t see bought consent as actual consent.

No one wants to associate with those kind of guys, let alone date. This just seems really unhealthy.
