You just made the point of the article. You're no longer stimulated by what once stimulated you - you need more extreme and different images to get off. Are you better off now because you're turned on by wrestling boots? How much time a day to you spend on these activities?
Actually not. The oldest pr0n I got is still in my collection (including scans of the best pictures of the magazines I used to buy) and I regularly jerk-off looking at it.
Indeed, I am better off being turned-on by wrestling boots, because whenever a chick walks into the subway wearing those, I can fantasize by looking at her feet instead of rudely staring her in her face or looking at her boobs or obviously imagining her naked.
And, today, I spent a total of 15 minutes masturbating 3 times. I do not think I will jerk-off a fourth time, having spent the better part of the evening in a funeral parlour.
I pity you and your sad life, for yours is the definition of "empty". Your justifications, your defensiveness, your attack on those against online porn are pathetic. I write all this not as a "religious busybody" (because I'm not particularly religious) but as a human. You're obsessed, addicted, and you don't even know it. Or maybe you do and throw up excuses to justify it.
I am far from being empty, having had the visit of my lover (who lives abroad) for the whole week where we enjoyed a lot of lovely sex, cuddling, fondling and groping.
Yes, I am obsessed with sex, and I don't have any problem with it because I can manage it adequately (masturbation is very useful to vent the overflowing outlets) so it is not a problem for others (except the stupid busibodies I enjoy shocking by telling my sexual antics - yes, I often do that in person).
And the last thing on my mind is to throw an excuse to justify it. I justify it with the reason: I am sexually obsessed, I am very horny, and I deal with it by masturbating when I don't have the necessary sex.
This will not work at all. It's like suing a company in Canada because it disconnected a custome following a DMCA take-down request. In both cases, the ISP followed the law. And you certainly can't be sued for doing something legal that happenned in another country!!!
This isn't evidence, it's anecdotal, but someone asked a hundred non-randomly selected people if they could take a break from their porn for one week. Half of them falied.
Oh, that's easy to do. I do it every time my lover comes to visit me...
Many studies show that teenagers (mostly boys) who solo it in front of the monitor have very low self esteem as a result.
What fucking bullshit! When I was a kid, I'd jerk off 5-6 times a day with magazines (computers were sitting in dinosaur pens then), and it certainly did not prevent me from parading naked to take my shower in front of my parents or the neighbour kids who hanged on the back porch. And nowadays, it doesn't prevent me from sunbathing naked in the park either.
Obviously you've never slept with a virgin. Sex, like everything else, gets better with practice.
Yup. Often, I have sex with a young one whose only virtue is being cute. But for real serious sex, a 30-40 year old is the way to go; I even had great sex once with a 60 year old oriental!!! (this was when I was 30).
Or you are a saved man. The only man who never lusted after a woman (or a man), was Jesus Christ. My every desire is to be as much like him as I can.
Bullshit. Jesus H. Fucking Christ (who should have been impaled instead of being crucified. Imagine how funny churches would look with that Jesus Christ with that pole coming out of his arse!!!) jerked-off like any normally-constituted male. Not only he lusted after Mary Magdalen, but he had sex with the apostles. Best proof is that during the last supper:
Jesus spread his buns and said, Eat, for this is my body.
All that aside, would you rather have a wife that had slept with a dozen men, or one who had never lain with a man in her life. Maybe you would rather have the former, but I'll take the latter. If for nothing else, than I'm less likely to have STDs.
You must be a hardass sonovabitch busybody control freak, don't you? You are frustrated of not having enough control on your life, and you find the bible's relatively wide acceptance a perfect excuse to exert control over other people.
But still, the best way to protect yourself from AIDS is to stop sleeping around. Find your mate, and stay with that one mate for the rest of your life. And never worry about AIDS.
And pass all that great sex that would definitely make you a more bearable person!!!
Time to start a flamewar here. This is the way it is: God gave us some rules about sexuality in the Bible. If we follow them or not is up to us. But we can't go complaining to God when the rules he setup to govern our lives come back and bite us. People say "How can you beleive in a God that would allow AIDS". When the fact is God hates things like porn and homosexuality. Disobey his laws and you reap the rewards. What's really sad, is when your kids or your family have to wreap the rewards for you
There is no god. Just the elucubrations of control freaks just like you who need excuses to hate things and people they don't understand.
Moses, Jesus H. Fucking Christ, Mohammed all had delusions of grandeur and managed to get "talked to" by god when they deprived themselves of oxygen while climbing mountains.
I heard of three brothers the other day. Their dad was a pastor. One day the man was found outside a strip-club beat up and robbed. He seperated from his wife (although they are still married). The three brothers made a pact. The decided that they would never do to their wife what their father did to their mother. So they agreed that if any of them fell into porn, or any other type of sexual sin. The other two would come to their house and beat him to a pulp. That's the way I see it. Porn hurts families.
Boo hoo hoo, cry me a river. If there weren't so much assholes like you who hate sex (because you can't get enough??? - that's the "sour grapes syndrome") and had laws passed banishing sex clubs and strip joints to unsavoury areas of town, people would not get robbed going there.
But on the other hand, I don't think the government has a right to regulate porn. The government can regulate the effects of porn. Rape should not be tolerated, etc. But getting rid of Porn is a heart issue. It must be done away with by convincing people one at a time of it's evil effects. Not by the government's heavy hand. Otherwise we get a repeat of the 20's.
Yeah! So why don't you shut the fuck up and let those people who actually ENJOY (oh, sorry, the word "enjoy" is alien to you) pr0n, and stop harping about it and shoving your obsolete stupid assinine ways down our throats?
Oh, and crawl back under that rock you came from, anonymous coward.
I once heard a psychology professor say that 90% of men surveyed anonymously admit to masturbating. The other 10% are lying.
What's wrong with masturbating? I have no problem saying out loud that I masturbate. Heck, I can masturbate 3-4 times a day. Why do people are so stuck-up with their attitudes towards their own bodies???
Jeeesus, where do you live? Shit, since I was a kid (8 years), when I was good, I was allowed to look at my father's Penthouse and Playboys. Eventually, I did find the articles more interesting too!!!
Having free access to pr0n certainly did not make it something so desirable that I'd go to extreme stupid lenghts to get it!!!
Yet another excuse to justify the talibanesque puritanism that is engulfing our societies!!!
Over the last 15 years online, I have gathered on the order of 15,000 pornographic pictures (and about 100 movie clips), which I fondly peruse whenever I feel the urge to masturbate (on the order of 3-4 times a day - one of my jobs is by telecommuting, and I often celebrate a good breakthrough by masturbating - yes, at home, I work naked). No girlfriend or wife would ever tolerate such intense sollicitation, hence the desirability of promoting masturbation as a good diversion from sexual assault.
Masturbating is an excellent stress reliever, and it allows to expell sexual tension in a harmless way.
Online pr0n is an excellent way to explode one's sexuality, and, more importantly, to find out that you are not that much abnormal because you have that very wierd fetish.
Over the years, while I gathered pr0n, I came in contact with other fetishes, and I managed to find out that I had fetishes I would not have thought about (like running shoes [those fashionable wrestling boots are totally irresistible!!!], tight athletic clothing, nude sunbathing and underwater sex).
Better yet, by irregularly perusing sexual chat/message groups, I was able to meet other people sharing some fetishes and experience them (note to interested parties: I have yet to experience underwater sex), something I would never have been able to do without the Internet; who knows what the repressed frustration would have lead me to???
Likewise, I have been able to counsel other people about fetishes and off-the-beaten-path sex practices.
No, only stupid religious busybodies would say that online pr0n is bad. And like anything that someone gets addicted to, it's not because one person cannot control himself that you have to ban the stuff.
Are you trying to be clever? Because that's about on par with calling you "Peg Hugger".
That's what we call Wall-Mart up here, in Québec. "Merde" in french slang means "shit", and here, we distorted it into "marde". And we add the extra "L" to make "wall", so it ultimately means "wall-to-wall shit".
This is stupid. It won't do anything against spam sent by spamming criminals who use arrays of trojaned zombies, which are the most prominent source of spam.
Wow, it's amazing that it is so different here in the USA, where health care costs are low and constantly going down due to competition. Nobody is without care, and the market has made things wonderfully efficient -- you can get appointments in minutes and the paperwork is minimal!
Only if you pay though the nose, and go to see the doctor your HMO tells you to go to.
In Canada, you can choose the doctor you want to see...
Government monopolies are worse. Government also never EVER makes anything cheaper.
Odd, in Canada, health care insurance is run by the government, but it covers EVERYONE in the country (not just 40%), with only 5% overhead (not 35% in typical US private insurance companies).
Odd, in Québec, electrity production is run by the government, but they offer the absolute cheapest power in the world. And their power grid is properly managed, so it did not go down during the last east-coast blackout.
Oh, by the we, up here, we're french, so we don't think that the government does nothing good by default, so that may be why the government works properly...
Here in Canada we have one provider for health insurance, the provincial government. This results in our tax dollars being funneled into paying to run the system that is increasing in cost faster than we can afford it. The main problem lies in the fact that there's no competition in health insurance, therefore, no impetus to keep the efficiency high, and therefore, the affordability low.
You have been fed the private insurance croporate bullshit and swallowed it hook, line and sinker...
Don Mazankowsky's Great West company would like nothing more than be able to suck $300 per month from every canadian and tell them to go fuck themselves when they need any treatment, hence there is a lot of private insurance industry propaganda designed to make people think that the canadian health-care system is on the brink of collapse.
The appearance of collapse is simply due to the federal government savagely cutting health-care budgets 15 years ago, in order to pay for the balooning conservative government deficits (remember Mulroney???).
But you're right: people WANT health care. Look during the last electoral campaign. Even the unwashed conservatives (in reality, filthier reformists who make Mulroney look like Mao Tse-Tung) would not dare suggest touching the public healthcare program, because they know very well that if any of their unwashed huns would speak against it, they would not stand the slightest chance of being elected. And the fact is that those morons are not trusted at all, hence their minority government status.
Now, crawl back under that rock you crawled from under, croporate shill.
First, and what I think is most important, is by eliminating all competition in the insurance industry, you would remove any impetus to become more efficient. Such a company would probably become hideously bloated and turn into a giant cash sink, employ many times the number of people it actually needed to operate, and would be beholden to basically nobody.
How come then the Canadian public health-insurance system only has 5% overhead and covers EVERYONE in the country, whereas the US private system does not covers everyone and charges 35% overtime????
By that logic, it would be cheaper to group the entire country into 1 large group, and have everybody in the country under the same insurance plan. Then, to make it even cheaper, you remove the insurance company, and have a government run insurance plan that takes no profit.
Congratulations! You just have invented the canadian public health-insurance system, whose overhead is only 5% instead of the 30+% overhead of private US insurers.
And in addition, there is no time lost determining if some treatment is supported by the patient's insurance, and the patient is entirely to CHOOSE the doctor he goes to, instead of having to stick to the one designated by his HMO.
Why should it be the responsiblity of corporations, who's only concern is to it's shareholders, and the almighty dollar, to pay for health insurance?
Because, somehow, the bourgeois who run the USA think that government-paid health-care is more expensive (higher taxes) than private-insurance run health care (35% overhead, versus 5% overhead for the canadian health-care system).
Mom and pop stores don't suck, they just have to sell at prices higher than walmart. They don't have 3000 stores or the push-around power that walmart has due to its market share.
What I do get at the ma and pa store is a friendly face and great service. They usually are very knowledgable about the product they sell, and many times are willing to go the extra length if I have any problems at all with my purchase.
You lucky bastard. Over here, "mom & pop" stores have been going the way of the crapper, because mom & pop have not been willing to give the same no-hassle after-sale service that Wall-Marde is giving.
Fuck, for the lack of service, one might as well go to Club Price, at least, you don't have to face "mom & pop" saying that you don't have this in stock, that he can't order it in less than 6 weeks and when it doesn't work as advertised won't take it back.
This is why Wall-Marde is doing so well, because Mom & Pop has been busy screwing their clientele.
Wal-Mart sells a huge variety of well-known well-regarded quality brands.... including Apple and Sony. If Apple and Sony are crap, than EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT EVERYWHERE is crap.
Plenty of manufacturer make cheaper/crappier versions of their products specifically to sell to Wall-Marde.
If you RTFA (I did, weeks ago), you'd see that Wall-Marde told the Snapper guy to have crappy lawnmowers manufactured in China with the "Snapper" label on them. The guy refused to adulterate his products by having Wall-Marde dilute their quality and so said no to Wall-Marde.
What confuses me are the most is that some of my favorite books are the most the expensive. Among them:
* Tom Mitchell's Machine Learning
* Duda, Hardt & Stork's Pattern Classification
* Russell & Norvig's AI: A Modern Approach (the book that every AI teacher uses)
Why? These books are standards and needed by everyone.
You just answered your own question.
Don't worry, if it was possible to charge for breathable air, the bourgeois would not hesitate to charge you $1 a breath.
