Masturbation is taking my life away, and yours too.
The terminology makes you wander off, thinking this is some sort of projection of some sexual habit. Yet it's the best term in context. When you are horny, lonely, stressed out , etc... You may rely on masturbation, it may be actual masturbation; you run your genital organ after getting excited, you reach a plateau, you climax or whatever and the release. To each their ways, but to desribe it deeply and disect it is the way to establish the logic afterwards. You see, foremost, masturbation is a substitution for sexual intercourse that isn't the perfect copy of it. Since it lacks warmth, bodily fluids, actual nervousness, the touch, the shame, the foreplay, the excitement -you know the drill. It's some sort of quick on the go solution to a need you do not have. The problem is this. You try to give yourself some sense of "sex", it is not "sex", way different of it. Yet certain things are relative to the sexual experience and some of its results, so you indulge in it. That if, masturbation is what you use if you strictly feel horny. Try to think of it for a second, you will realise that you are somewhat eating an unhealthy snack just to calm your hunger for a moment...only to feel down and hungrier after. It's a net negative solution for sex you aren't having. Probably some people feel relieved afterwards, some shut down and get suicidal. The analogy is meant to represent pretending to do the work, giving your brain a fake signal that you are doing the act. What on earth could masturbation has anything to do with everything you do in life? Take for example studying, you are bored, you are tired, you are not focusing, you can't put the effort. So you take your books and start highlighting like a robot, one word or two in a sentence is what you grasp if you haven't skipped lines. You start focusing on the colors, sometimes you don't and color a whole area. You maybe rewrite the lessons whether on your device or on paper. This was never the real thing, you are not studying , you are giving your brain a soft, very easy and low pitch activity that sounds like real studying. It's driven by the guilt or need to study. "Self-improvement" is masturbation too, it's cheap dopamine, it's fake growth, you are in delusion, in a cycle of self-obsession thinking you are now better. Any activity that is "high IQ procastination" is effectively masturbation. I am masturbating at this exact moment, I have ton of medical lessons compiled and I chose to write this, pretending that I am some sort of savant. The truth is that I am not stimulated enough to study, I am running from it, by masquarading this inability through this new habit of writing. Masturbation is a cage, all forms of masturbation is a cage. How about the next time you feel horny, reach out to someone that can give you the real thing. How about you throw the highlighter away and focus on the actual text. How about when you are lonely, you don't text people. After a miserable addiction to masturbation it stops giving you what you need. You find yourself craving it because you tought your brain to perform it always. We always tend to masturbate, even when we stop masturbating. The moment you grasp this truth, you start avoiding masturbating over any other real act, until you notice that you are choosing to do that intentionally. What I mean with that is the you get used to something you keep doing it. You don't improve, you stagnate. You don't fix real wounds, you let them stay. What on earth would rubbing your lips or your cock do to you, at least stop doing it, go crazy because of it. If you start hooking up, great. If you stop needing it, amazing. You have gotten rid of a high dopamine low density act. Texting people whenever you are lonely instead of hanging out? Oh boy that's some slow action that ends up boring you and regret in the end. Look for a real hangout or a real person to love. Stressed out and having mental fog, well sure I feel that masturbation is a good quick stress reliever but the hormonal consequences or mental damage isn't going to help you. Texting many people and playing with their feelings because you are empty inside? Fucking get a life and stop trying to escape that. Playing videogames and trying to get a reward or something? You are not having fun, you are chasing some sort of value or respect in a pixaled environment because it's way easier and a quicker dopamine surge than doing it somewhere else. Not over your ex and unable to love someone else? how pathetic, don't traumatize people and make them go to the therapy because you didn't. Try to actually work on yourself so that you move on and you are able to love somebody else, no need for a hoe phase. Rejected because of your looks? Oh this one hits close to home, try to fix what can be fixed and give up on saying the same thing over and over when it's clear you are liked. A loving relationship that lasts is tough for you? Of course it is, you hook up, lie and sleep or do those acts with anybody with no committment, of course you will find that boring. Watching videos to learn something or some facts? You are not learning my man, you are entertaining yourself by some high-iq activity to calm your ego. Am I stroking my genital organ badly right now by making this thing longer than it should? Absolutely, I should get a life and do something that is really "worth" it.
