The feel-good (and still very fake and gay) greentexts were always the worst, and largely because of these cringe messages. Implying becoming Christian was the first step. I wouldn’t be surprised if these types of posts are just grassroots conversion attempts from various evangelists.
Lol pastor got caught browsing b/ after dark. Had to come up with something quick.
I relate to the meme honestly. But my first step was LSD.
Average MK-Ultra victim
The lsd only showed you what you brought with you.
I can enjoy hiking and jacking off, sounds like a skill issue
Simultaneously
I mean yeah I guess you could
Anon gives themselves purpose, somehow still mentions that they don’t masturbate.
Twice!
You can’t trust dudes who say they don’t jerk off, either they’re lying or dangerously crazy.
It’s right there in Maslow’s Hierarchy of human needs at the top of the list. It may be an aging theory, but it is admissible in many courts. A lack of sexual expression is unhealthy and harmful for all humans. The person is literally saying they are doubling down on dogma and tribalism; two of the most dangerous and toxic traits of the most animalistic and deranged humans.
So yeah, someone saying this kind of nonsense is scarcely better than someone talking about how jihad gets them close to god.
I thought the top of the list was self actualisation, but I think you have sense on your side there.
From an ace perspective, the statement that sexual expression is a human need is bizarre. I don’t really know how horny regular people are, but this makes it seem like an obsession. It’s like if I said bird watching is a human need; you’d immediately assume I spend like six hours a day bird watching to think it was biologically necessary.
Even ace people masturbate sexual expression is 100% a human need. Because it’s an animal need. It’s literally the foundational need that fundamentally drives animals after their survival needs are met.
Anything from a few times a week to only a few times a month is entirely normal amounts. Hell even once a day during the height of your late teens to early 20s is entirely normal.
The people who are doing it 4, 5, 6 times a day. Doing it in public bathrooms cause they can’t wait to get home. THATS the level you literally have to get to for it to be a problem.
Hell people go though cycles even. Some people can just be insanely horny and go at it two or three times as often as they normally do. Or be less horny and not even notice they haven’t masturbated once in weeks.
So as an ace person your libido might be incredibly low and or you could be lacking the desire to reproduce entirely.
That doesn’t mean you don’t get horny at /some point/. Your view of what’s normal is just incredibly skewed because the internet does a terrible job of presenting what normal and health sexual needs are.
And the only time it really gets talked about is when people like in the screen text crop up. Absolute f****** insane people who have such an insanely unhealthy relationship with sexual needs. It’d be like if you’re understanding of how much morphine you need only comes from morphine addicts.
A little bit here and there when required and healthy amounts is fine for you. Sexual expression is the same way. Do it as often as your body naturally demands of you. If that’s twice a year then so be it if it’s once a day so be it. Literally any range is healthy so long as it doesn’t drive you to do it against your own best interest.
That sounds like you may have a skewed perspective of what a human need constitutes; I wouldn’t expect that you spend 6 hours on the act of eating.
I’d say it’s usually both.
I wouldn’t. IMO there’s 2 options: they’re lying, or they’re lying and they’re dangerously crazy
Translation: furious and compulsive masturbation.
I’m so full of purpose I don’t even notice the need to masturbate which gnaws at my consciousness every moment, which always sings its endless siren’s song of sin, I go the entire day without paying a single thought to my aching cock which throbs urgently for release by any means. It’s so great bros
If you’re a Christian and meditate 15 minutes every day, you’re doing it wrong!
Unsupervised meditation will put your soul at risk of the devil’s temptations!
Instead, rely on the good old cathomaxxing method: 666
- 6 hours of mass and prayers
- 6 hours of work in silence
- 6 hours of
masturbationmixed work and prayers
All for only $666.66 in a 6 hour online course.
Sounds like they just stopped dopamine saturating themselves. If you’re constantly seeking dopamine-producing activities, your receptors straight up stop being able to uptake more dopamine, and I’ve heard that dopamine overproduction can wear out your pituitary gland so that it stops producing enough (this is mostly noted in drug abusers). So there’s a school of thought that engaging in less dopamine-inducing activities helps you have a healthier baseline where your brain experiences more enjoyment out of regular activities.
I have only ever encountered these talking points in passing so i have no clue if it’s true.
It’s overly simplistic. It does help, but it’s more about changing habits and developing new ones.
True but fasting generally is a system reset. Sugar is essentially in everything and Americans over indulge it, so imagine going your whole life with a way higher tolerance to dopamine due to your diet.
Nice try pastor
Could have done all that without religious propaganda. Though I’ll admit that secular organisations rarely have the knack for creating the kind of organisation that churches have that makes it so much easier for them to actually reach people and keep them engaged, especially without a clear (to the members), concrete worldly purpose. Hard to catch up on ~1000-1500 years of Christianization I guess …
Though I’ll admit that secular organisations rarely have the knack for creating the kind of organisation that churches have
That’s because secular organizations generally aren’t looking to make giant cults that they can coax 10% of their income from
The churches in my country are fairly humble compared to that …
Secular organisations do have them, it’s called going to bars, taking up a hobby club, and so on.
‘going to bars’ doesn’t have organisation and rarely has community, and it encourages problematic drug use which is just about the last thing people like this need. Hobby clubs are much harder to find than churches, and I’d say due to social norms they’re generally not as willing to go into dealing with emotions as churches tend to be. Even if churches are too eager to manipulate you into feeling certain things about certain topics.
IMO, even a worker’s union would have been a better example than yours, but it’s obviously much more single-topic than a church - they don’t usually get involved in marriages or burials, and they tend to be just as gender-segregated as the trades they represent.
You certainly do have community, and it doesn’t encourage problematic drug use, that’s fearmongering. With bars you just need to have regulars you go with. Or go to concerts and listen to music that doesn’t spout hatred.
If anything’s encouraging problematic drug use, it’s the fascist dipshits.
And speaking of marriage, it’s an outdated concept centered around keeping a woman in control, and having a stranglehold on a man all for the sake of a church.
It’s a place that sells alcohol as its primary product. I’m not pro-prohibition or anything like that, but a bar is just not a good place for someone with severe mental health issues. Certainly, some people can handle it, but for a lot of other people it’s dangerous.
… wha?
I jork it fairly often and I find nature beautiful, love a good hike, eat a healthy diet, and am working at developing my skills at the hobbies I pursue.
… whaaaa?
Yeah dude you have to actually live life. The Christianity and not masturbating arent necessary to do that though
Anon is based
Meh, taking up a religion that’s killed millions of people is cringe, tbh.
Better to go outside and take a walk. This post is likely an attempt of some evangelist to convince some ppl to convert.
Christianity hasn’t killed anybody
Rejection of it, on the otherhand…
Crusades, mf, they absolutely killed millions of people. Not to mention the mass genocide and enslavement of the Americas.
Where does the Bible say to do that?
Which bit?
Slavery: 1 Peter 2:18
Genocide: Deuteronomy 20:17
Obviously these are just little tasters, there’s definitely more in there :)
Neither of these say that. The first one is an instruction to the enslaved, not telling people to make slaves. The second is a historical command concerning a single empire.
The first one is an instruction to the enslaved telling them to obey their masters, whether they’re kind or cruel.
- Does that sound like the Bible says slaves should not be enslaved, should rise up and free themselves or be freed by others?
To your second point, the passage names Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The bible actually refers to these groups separately, and collectively as the “nations” that are encountered by the Israelites. These groups do (generally) have distinct identities and practices.
- The passage Deuteronomy 20:17 commands followers to “completely destroy” each of these groups. How does that not constitute any sort of genocide?
I am absolutely happy to be wrong, and I’m not intending to be hostile - I know these beliefs are deeply held and are personal, and I’m not attacking you for your faith. Just want to make that clear! 👍
Is the next step to force your way of life on others?
