Comment on Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you?
lung@lemmy.world 5 months agoI don’t agree, in the experience of my friend circle, if you don’t release for a while:
the “mental harm” is having to walk around horny all the time, constantly thinking of sex, and affecting your interactions
this is not a problem which normal people face. if you are constantly thinking about sex, you may have an addiction or an otherwise unhealthy relationship with sex
Hey man don’t shame ppl for normal variance in sex drive. Being horny is not a disease

Well done, you’ve provided some anecdotal benefits, which I didn’t deny exist.
However none of them demonstrate necessity.
Breathing, sleeping, drinking, eating, shitting - those are necessities.
Having orgasms is not, no matter how much you try to convince yourself and others.

Sure you don’t “have to” bathe but you’ll have a bad time if you don’t
