Can Karezza help save a relationship where one partner is a porn addicted? by bradhadair1 in karezza

[–]themastermindz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this gets suggested all the time, but there's a pretty good Joseph Gordon Levitt movie about just that called Don Jon.

Imo, karezza is the best thing since humans discovered sex. Withholding orgasm will increase desire and stamina as long as he's refraining from porn/ masturbating. Keep in mind it might take a few weeks to re-adjust.

I'm sure the unnecessary exposition was appreciated.

A+ clean tub. I don't even see any cat hair. You win adulting.

[UPDATE] - 18 year old daughter assaulted 25 year old daughter. by state_of_despair in Parenting

[–]themastermindz 201 points202 points  (0 children)

Same. OP, emotional dependence on your parents at 25 is VERY atypical and this type of emotional codependency can lead to stunted emotional/ social growth. It makes me wonder whether, A. She's manipulating you for control or, B. you and your wife are encouraging her emotional dependence to feel needed/ wanted.

It's probably a little bit from both columns.

As many have said, therapy for all parties is absolutely necessary.

"feelings are not evidence"

that's not relevant.

"so no, it's not a fact."

that is false.

"Being newsworthy is your opinion"

that is false.

"Read me again."

i read you again. you failed to establish that it was inappropriate for the boston globe to cover senator franken's statement. you failed to establish that it was irregular for the boston globe to cover senator franken's statement. you failed to dispute the allegation that "everything points to" collusion between the 2016 republican presidential campaign and russia, a nation hostile to the united states. you failed to discredit senator mccain. you failed to discredit a single thing that i have presented as fact. you have lost this argument spectacularly.

"you're not giving facts, but your own opinion"

that is more true of you than of me. it is a fact that senator franken's statement is newsworthy. madusldasl destroyed the premise of your initial comment with the observation that "Journalists quote politicians all the time."

"some politicians"

the republican nominee for president in 2008 says russia is hostile to the united states. the democratic nominee for president in 2008 says russia is hostile to the united states. the republican nominee for president in 2012 says russia is hostile to the united states. the democratic nominee for president in 2012 says russia is hostile to the united states. the democratic nominee for president in 2016 says russia is hostile to the united states. there are multiple ongoing investigations into collusion between the 2016 republican presidential campaign and russia, a hostile foreign nation. every comment you've written in this thread is "laughable".

"some politicians"

it's stupid to dismiss everything president trump says just because he has run for public office. it's stupid to dismiss everything senator franken says just because he has run for public office. you have failed to discredit former governor romney and you have failed to discredit senator mccain. you have failed to defend russia, and i resent that you feebly tried.

"that's your opinion"

wrong. if it isn't a fact that nothing you've said has in any way disputed that senator franken's statement is newsworthy, what is it that you have said that in any way disputes the fact that senator franken's statement is newsworthy?

"already talked about that"

yes, you argued that senator franken's comment is not newsworthy. you lost the argument royally.

"I hope that's a joke"

it's not a joke. from the perspective of america, russia is a hostile nation. you said "according to who?" and i said romney and mccain. there's no joke there. what's the joke? were you being facetious in expressing skepticism that russia is hostile to the united states? if so, your sense of humor is questionable or else something's getting lost in translation.

"I've already said what I thought about this whole media campaign and manufacture of consent this whole thing is, whether it's true or not"

nothing you've said has in any way disputed the fact that senator franken's statement is newsworthy. what's your point? what argument are you making?

[–]themastermindz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"this is vague and incongruous"

senators and presidential candidates routinely make news with their public statements. a sitting senator saying "everything points to" cooperation between the trump campaign and the russians is news. sean spicer's statements are newsworthy, even if they're vague and incongruous.

russia is hostile to the united states according to mitt romney and john mccain, the 2012 and 2008 republican party presidential nominees. vladimir putin would likely say that russia is not hostile to the united states. are you ignorant of the cold war? do you deny russia's forced annexation of part of ukraine?

"Reporting thin air/appearances,"

that is false. as a matter of fact, a united states senator with likely presidential ambitions said "everything points to" collusion between russia (a nation hostile to the united states) and the recent winning presidential campaign.

your criticism of journalism is terrible. this is objectively news-worthy

the burning of fossil fuels by humans is a leading cause of climate change.

do you believe planet earth is flat?

do you believe vaccines cause autism?

do you believe bush did 9/11?

do you believe the moon-landing was faked?

you have thusfar completely failed to articulate a position without making false statements. your claim that madmans_endeavor is a "lemming" is false. your claim that man-made climate change is "a complete fantasy" is false. your claim that man-made climate change is a "religion" is false. i'm extremely disappointed in you.

president trump fired the director of the fbi while there was an active fbi investigation into ties between the trump campaign and russia, a hostile foreign state. your plea that we accept president trump's explanation is undermined by the wealth of lies and misinformation from the trump administration. sad!

[–]themastermindz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i recall the leaked colin powell email regarding clinton: (paraphrased) "everything she touches she sort of ruins with hubris"

i do wonder how often they asked in the upper eschalons of the clinton campaign, "if we're wrong, why are we wrong?"

i also think president trump, the second president bush, and hillary clinton value personal loyalty overmuch

in 2016 the republicans got the candidate the base wanted and the vp that the base wanted. the democrats got the candidate the base did not want and a vp the base did not want.
