I have no problem with the sentiments expressed by the op but i'd like us to approach this subject with honesty and not just focus on particular vices.

all the pleasures of the flesh are temptations laid upon our path by the adversary, every time you indulge your wants you give in to your animus and stray further from the Image. Asceticism or bust, live like St. Frank.

hey, discipline, you never answered my question as to whether the problem with pornography is that mainstream pornography is racist sexist trash (like most mainstream media) as your article would imply or because of some absurd bullshit where getting membership on ideepthroat is aiding human trafficking?

I believe that sexual proclivities factor into the opinions of anyone on this subject. Please include the number of orgasms you have per day, as well as the number of orgasms you wished you had per day, and whether or not viewing images or successive images presented such that they appear as if they are in "real time" are in some way an aid towards producing said orgasms for you. Also, whether or not you believe these needs have in some way been the result of the mores of the culture in which you currently reside. Also, the nature of the images you find most suitable for this orgasmogoal, and again, whether or not the nature of these images have in some way been the result of the mores of the culture in which you currently reside.

If your answer to any of these is "none" or "zero" or "I've never felt I needed that" then you are probably an alien and have sex via telepathy and can I please visit your planet.

So after starting working out a bit, going on my Diet, NoFaping, and Browsing Simple Pickup. I think I am ready to head back in the real world as a new man. My friend Amanda asked if I wanted to go to the beach. The last 2 days I have been to the beach with her, she also who brought other friends so now, I went from 1 Friend to like 4 . To make matter even better, I told off some guy who was trying to be funny infront of all his friends. I was feeling confident, no fuck given. Then to follow that up with getting a number from a gorgeous girl to end the night.
I was wearing my shirt I never had the Confidence to wear even tho I believe it is funny, So last night I did. Shirt. I was with a group of friends but ended up breaking off from them because they were going into every store and planing on walking the beach and I wanted to meet girls.
So I broke off from them, I walked into an Airbrush stand where I seen this cute girl working, If you are a NoFapper, Hi stacy . I tried talking to her, let me remind you my first approach is the hardest, but once I do it, I am in a Social Mood. She didn't seem interested, no big deal, not every girl will be, but all that matters is you try. The only way to fail is not to try and talk to her.
Later on, after feeling confident from talking to Stacy, this guy says Chicks dig you? I replied "yeah" He then goes and says "Like the little baby chicks right, not the actual girls?" The old me would have been affected by this, let it bother me, not the new me. I turned around and said, "No, more like your mom." Now I know mom jokes are corny and old, it was the first thing that could came to my mind as a insult back and would be funny/cool. Then I kept walking with my head held high.
After feeling on top of the world, the night then only gets better, I travel back to the other end of the boardwalk where I last seen my friends. I seen a group of kids, went over to inspect. It wasn't them but like a match made in heaven, I hear, Hey you, What college, West Virginia, or Florida state? I turned and looked, To my surprise 2 cute girls and a guy. After a bit of talking, I sit down. Join the the conversation when ever I feel need be. Her friend asked me my name, I told her Derrick, I think she she said a name, but I don't really remember, I asked the girl I thought was pretty for her name, She said Cousin. Being confused, and talking about her name for 30 seconds, we go back to general chat. Something didn't seem right about the name tho.
After a bit of chatting, they were leaving, and going back to their hotel room. They were down there for Senior Week, so they were getting drunk and having fun. They started looking for their Flip-flops and other things. Now was the time, I took my phone out and handed it to her and said Cousin, You should put your number in. Most memorable moment of the night, Seeing her look down at my phone, give a smirk smile look up and say alright and start imputing her phone number. She says, wait did you call me cousin? I said yeah, She said Put in Jamie, that is my real name. I said alright, talk to you later and headed on with my way.
I don't know if the number will flake, It does not really matter, even tho this chick was knock dead gorgeous, and I would not mind seeing her again. I got a number from a 10, told off a dude who was trying to be cool, and had an awesome night. My life is starting to shape up. Ant is having a party Monday I believe he said, and Richard's parents are leaving the 15th,16th, and 17th of June and planning a party.(both kids I went to school with but never hung out with but since I went out with Amanda they are kind of in my social circle now). I know that none of this would of happened without NoFap, I am morphing from the Foreveralone Social Recluse, into the man I was meant to be. Stay strong everyone, I am confident you will see benefits if you haven't already.
EDIT: I am sorry about the formatting and sequencing of the story, I tried to fix it and make the story enjoyable. I hope this is a lot better now.

for real though pornography is also a leftist issue in the sense that alcohol or narcotics are, i.e. a potentially dependency-forming activity, kept secret and undiscussed through shame, that undermines individuals desire to take part in wider democratic society and struggle alongside their peers

that is true in the same sense that charity and hedonism are both equally selfish. goongrats.

why under this moral framework spending 1000$ on SA accounts is just as valid as say, donating money to the needy.

i always thought it was odd that people on SA would spend hundreds of dollars on video game systems so they could play hentai mother 4 or whatever but when i plunk a tenner in a midwestern father's pocket so that i could promote ironic maoism-third worldism, somehow i'm the bad guy.

So 10 am this morning me and my wife are woken up by knocking on our door. It turns out our 5 year old daughter woke up early this morning, put on her coat and shoes, filled her own backpack with her school stuff, and proceeded to walk to school.

A family saw her walking, and commented that she did very well for her age (looked both ways before crossing, pushed traffic light buttons, waited for cars, ect.) and seemed to be well taking care of herself. They played with her for a while at the school playground before calling the police because they didn't know where she lived. The police officer showed up, was very polite, but had to call in a second officer. They investigated our house, which turned into a 2 hour bullying session by the second officer.

He continually said our house was a pit (we have laundry on the floor, and probably a few days of dishes on our table, I hadn't done them in a while), and a soft spot in the bedroom (the floor was giving out due to water damage in the bathroom. I've been fixing the holes as we find them. There's several obvious spots where I've fixed the damage.)

He however, proceeds to look at me and comment "Look at this, this...you're pathetic." and calls child protective services (CPS). The woman arrives, and pretty much agrees with the officer. The first officer was nice, and fairly understanding. In front of all three of them I informed them that once before CPS had been here, gave them the previous CPS agent's name and card (this was a year and a half ago) however this apparently meant nothing (the previous visit they said nothing was wrong with our home).

No warnings, nothing, she says she's taking our kids and putting them in foster care, and that tomorrow or tuesday we will have to go to court over custody of our children (a 5 year old girl and 9 month old boy).

I ask, if the house was "very clean" by the time they came tomorrow, if this would be over fast, and the second officer proceeded to laugh and said "that'd mean you worked all through the night. You won't have this clean within two weeks even.".

The woman also repeatedly told us we might lose our kids for good.

Tomorrow I will be speaking to an attorney. Do you think I have a leg to stand on in court? My wife is missing a lot of work due to the fact that she's out of her mind crying because they took her children. I called my professors in college and said I probably couldn't make it to class (near finals even) at least for mon/tue. so I'm around to deal with this because my wife obviously can't with how freaked out she is.

I've been told by several non-legal friends to see if I can sue for grievances/damages or whatever. I know little about this so I'm curious: did they do wrong? I've also been told by several others that you're supposed to usually get some warnings before they take the kids due to a messy home.

a few months ago my housemate's girlfriend came over and walked into his room for the first time and noted the following things:

- a bunch of condom wrappers on floor
- piles of semen-encrusted tissues by the computer
- a bunch of cigarettes butts in candles (non-smoking apartment)
- piles of pizza boxes
- no sheets on bed, mattress has large blood stain
- rotting fruit and dirty dishes

to name only a few things. she decided never to come into our apartment again but seems to have carefully avoided the possible issues such a find might involve, like, hey, if we've been dating for a while, and i've never been to your apartment before, why are there condom wrappers on your floor? good possible question. good, good possible question.

sometimes i'll look in the freezer and i'll find a bag of garbage in there. yesterday i discovered that sometimes people might do something like use a meat grill and put it away dirty, letting it sit dirty for months. i tidied up some of the mail left on the table and i guess he didn't open the electricity bill (in his name) for a few months on the logic that they don't cut you off unless it's been a while.

i'm excited to move out soon.

no, because, as has been established in this thread, all sex is rape and fat people are untouchables.

in south africa the movement against metering became so effective at fucking with things that the government introduced free minimum allocations of water. but there are activists who basically spend their whole day going around breaking water and electricity meters in shack communities so that people get free shit. direct action gets the goods.

it stops your bed from smelling like your asshole. as a brit you may find this hard to understand but there are other, cleaner societies where it is common to shower more than once a day
