Comment on Anon makes some changes
SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoWith that in mind I would say that sometimes you have to stop the thing you’re doing, let’s say masturbating here, so you can get your body back to baseline before you can even begin to work with a therapist or do some introspection.
I’m not saying we should demonise masturbation, just accept that for some people they may need to stop doing that for a period whilst they then fix the other shit they got going on.
If you think this is what “nofap” is about, you don’t understand the issue. Nofap isn’t a step toward therapy, nor does it avoid demonizing masturbation. It’s manosphere propaganda aimed at lonely, frustrated men to manipulate them through shame and further deprivation. People who have a genuine problem with self control where masturbation is concerned are just catching strays in this war where nofap ideology is a weapon.

I had no idea that nofap was what you just described. I saw the green text as the person taking all those positives steps to get back to living life and not some Andrew Tate thing.
I apologise for my misunderstanding and wading into this discussion, as my concern is for the people who are doing things compulsively not manosphere stuff.

It’s 4chan. Of course it’s a manospheric conformist post. If they actually did all that shit to improve their lives they’d also walk the fuck away from 4chan.

Guess I don’t know much about 4chan other than seeing green texts and thinking it’s a bunch of oddballs trying to solve the odd murder.
Didn’t know it was manosphere and don’t know it’s political leaning.

You’re probably better off not knowing, but if you’ve ever heard of Pizzagate or QAnon, 4chan is where those delights came from.
