Can you believe the developers of that app are paying real money for ads for it? I get Quittr ads online and Facebook all the time. Someone is paying money to try and convince me to not to wank. I can’t imagine a bigger waste of money.

The part that really blows my mind is that someone is paying for this app…

Same but then I found out that most people I know pay close to $500/year in subscriptions alone. Some don’t even remember all the subscriptions they have! A guy at my work was saying that money was really tight and he saved a ton just by cancelling his Adobe and Capcut subscriptions. That’s not on top of at least 3-4 streaming platforms.

uBlock Origin (Lite) will make those pesky ads a distant memory.

Yeah, what does that even mean? And why would anyone want it?

I have always had a very high sex drive until I went on some medication that actually kills your libido(side-effect).
At one point I was consuming porn 16-18 hours a day(including sleep). I was going to sleep playing nsfw asmr glucking just to get some restful sleep. I had collected almost 20tb of content. sufficient to say, I had a problem.
my addiction was so bad that at one point I was listening to audio erotica on my way to and from work. you don’t know shame until you look at the car next to you at a stop, and there’s a disgusted mother staring you down while your car is screaming to “breed me daddy”.
Not long after I started my meds, I deleted my entire fap cache. if it wasn’t for the meds, I would probably still be doing the same shit. an app like this would have been a nice tool to keep me in check.

Because porn addiction is a real thing and some people who suffer from it want help.

As someone who dealt for way too many years with a heroin addiction, I keep reading things like this and wanting to say stuff like ‘porn addiction isn’t a real addiction.’ But TBF I’ve never had a porn addiction and don’t know what it’s like, so I can’t say that. But there are undeniable differences.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
the similarities are far more numerous than not.
porn/masturbation addiction targets the pleasure receptors in your brain and excites your brain to release dopamine.
heroin does the same thing but “louder”.
you’re not addicted to the drug, you’re addicted to the dopamine rush and feelings.

The US speaker of the house Mike Johnson has mentioned many times how he and his son monitor each other’s masturbation habits through an app

Maybe that’s why he can’t keep up with the news? He should turn the notifications off.

Really? Is touching the ding ding dong such a big deal? I’m not saying porn, a healthy guy can find this sex drive without stimulating material.

Many Christians believe it is sinful, because generally they are uptight as hell about anything regarding sexuality.

I think the porn addiction thing is that you train your brain to seek the reward of sexual pleasure through the cheapest means possible: porn. Cheap as in fast, efficient, and often focusing on exactly what you want. Brain learns, “gee, this is a lot easier this way” and suddenly it’s more difficult to feel engaged with the more natural processes for sexy time.
TheSeveralJourneysOfReemus@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I understand this, especially during the past years, as many reports (not the nofap guys on reddit, mind you) showed that porn use and abuse has been on the rise, not surprisingly. But going nofap from the state of hypergooning is also dangerous. I think they should set realistic goal and keep journaling, these apps/services are preying on the frail ones. I learnt the concept of gooning against my will.

Are the app’s servers hosted on Epstein island? A father and son sharing chicken choking habits just sounds creepy.

It’s quite creepy and I can definitely picture these uptight evangelical Christian type people thinking it’s totally normal. So weird.
