Lol I like that your passionate about this but comments like that make it seem like you might take this a bit too seriously. Im pretty sure the majority of the male population (age 20-30 or so) masturbates on a regular basis and still can carry a normal relationship with women. Some of the things in this thread are a bit extreme in my opinion.
I think it would be interesting to see how many dudes in here drink/smoke/drugs because those all relieve stress just like fapping. I would say all of those are worse on your brain then looking at porn.
you must not have seen the massive amount of people that dropped out in the first 4 days.
i think its a legit problem bro... and it takes someone as serious as jaypatt to get that point across to people.
the select few that dont fap a lot... cannot fathom why people fap so much...
but my dude... the MASSIVE amount of porn videos should give you a clue as to how engrained it is in people's minds...
to be real.. i thank JP for enlightening people on the issue... its not the easiest thing to talk about...
and the facts behind it arent there due to internet porn being around for less than a decade...
Which is the point i've been trying to make since I started this thread.
That's truly where the disconnect begins to happen imo.. People want evidence, people want research, people want legit irrefutable scientific facts.. Well we can all take stabs at it but as of right now we're literally just starting to notice the effects it's begun to have.
Look at Japan.. Their birth rate is tremendously low. Meanwhile porn is readily available and socially accepted. It's literally turning their population into what they call "herbivores"
Pretty much equate that to a society of beta males that refuse to reproduce (and probably can't even get it up to reproduce).
Experts aren't even 100% sure what the flatline even is. When you understand the fundamental concepts of neuroscience you can attempt to break it down I guess.. But until you have reproducible experiments that confirm the cause you can never be completely sure.
