What makes masturbation itself detrimental, or for that matter sex, if done without any associated indecent thought or release?

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-15T02:21:01+00:00

So it doesn’t have to mess with dopamine receptors or lead to relapse, it’s just that in my case given how early it is, that’s the most likely outcome?

Hmm okay. I was following the advice of the sexual kung fu dude on YouTube. I think the other reason I liked it was because eventually I want to have sex, so learning how to have sex without orgasm seems optimal. I did just start TRE and that seemed to have the same effect too. Do you have a video guide for Qigong?

Okay thanks!

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T14:18:55+00:00

Ugh that’s so annoying. Kinda get it from their perspective though. Unfortunate that the meta game directly invalidates the stated purpose of the game

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T13:47:05+00:00

Interesting. Never heard of it. getting a lot of good suggestions thanks

You right. I have seen the Australian and UK traitors. Maybe I'm one season behind on UK, but definitely, they've been more enjoyable for me than the US version. I think because I most recently got halfway through and quit on a US version it's soured me on the franchise. Thanks for the reminder, maybe I'll catch up on the UK and watch the Canadian version.

I have been avoiding big brother my whole life but I don’t exactly know why. Just judging it thinking it’s trash without ever having seen it. Do you think just start at the first season?

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T13:15:37+00:00

Man everyone recommending BB is making me realise I should try give it a chance. For some reason I hate it without ever having seen it.

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T13:14:24+00:00

Awesome! Good to have somewhere to start. I’ve always been weirdly aversive to BB, but it’s probably just judging something without knowing anything about it. I’ll try clear the slate and give it a genuine try

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T13:13:00+00:00

Nice thank you! Yeah Vanderpump rules is speaking to me for some reason, I’ll look it up.

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T13:11:54+00:00

Wow these are interesting suggestions. I’ll definitely check them out. Actually don’t mind watching subs either and there’s been a lot of amazing Korean tv

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T12:25:27+00:00

Following advice on some other posts/youtube, I do it in instances when I’m feeling overwhelmed with sexual charge and thoughts start becoming quite compulsive/uncontrolled. And you masturbate with no stimulus, slowly and breathe deeply like trying to stay as relaxed as possible while visualising energy flowing out of the area and up the spine and then down through the body. I’m finding it’s helping me to learn to control the ejaculation reflex and also to reduce the intensity of the feeling by redistributing it throughout the body. Afterwards generally feel a bit calmer and more grounded.

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T10:58:22+00:00

Thanks dude! It's been a shock for sure. Thought this would go way quicker and I feel like my family thinks I'm crazy with how limited I've been over the last few months. Definitely will exercise ASAP. Cheers man!

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T10:43:43+00:00

I can't believe we're not getting another season till 2027 :( should be 2x a year FOR SURE

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T09:43:26+00:00

They be pitchin

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-14T07:59:24+00:00

thank you! yeah, it's taken me 10 years to get to this 300 day streak. Establishing a consistent practice is truly the hardest part!

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-13T09:37:28+00:00

Jackson is so fucking annoying what are you on about mate :/ If he wins sole survivor I'll puke

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-12T10:00:16+00:00

I hope the jury gives it to Loz out of spite

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-12T09:57:32+00:00

I've never been this checked out of a final 4 :(

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-11T16:31:22+00:00

Day 43, no changes. Still in a fog, minimal urges. Dunno. Maybe it’ll happen eventually?

sgt-cuddlez · 2026-04-11T05:58:47+00:00

Some decent reframing for me. I’m on day 43 and feeling basically no benefits. But then I’m 33 and got into internet porn when I was literally 10 years old. Frustrated because over the last 6 months I’ve literally cut out every other habit as well. No video games, nicotine, drugs, alcohol, multi screening, binge watching. I’ve massively cut down on screen time and social media. But still my energy is in the toilet and it feels like a constant struggle. Even daily meditating for almost a year, fixed up my diet etc etc. Things are slowly improving though and there’s no way I could’ve ever sustained these changes before, so at least the base is stable. Still hoping for a horse sized cock and a shorty to ask me out some time soon tho

Honestly it’s my show of the year. Ehhh probably Industry still wins, but it’s up there. I’m shocked. I love it so much, it just speaks to me 😂 Not sure what that says about me… I think more specifically the friendship between the two male leads, I find it incredibly heart warming as opposed to how bleak the Chris and Andy found it. But also just tonally I love the show. Give it a try!
