#NoWanks: How quitting porn and masturbation changed my life

Gavin McInnesArchive

The trouble with all this constant creative destruction is we tear down traditions with nothing to replace them. This means, guys like me end up reconstructing our culture and discovering things that were taken for granted one or two generations ago.

(CONTENT WARNING:)



"Porn is bad for you" and "don't masturbate" are considered the kinds of things old fogies say so my generation laughed them off. We knew you don't grow hair on your palms.

Then, we got so addicted to pornography we began a "sexodus" that has all but shut down male/female relationships.

I "discovered" this new thing called quitting porn and it's changed my life.

I've also introduced it to a lot of friends and they are stunned by the benefits.

It's sad something so rudimentary seems so revolutionary but that's in the past now. Let's move forward.

Stop masturbating, you wankers!

Ontario’s sex-ed curriculum sexualizes young children, undermines parental authority and imposes the government's morality on every Ontario family.

Like Gavin, I’m a Gen X’er. I’m female. I was married 15 years, been divorced 5. First of all, Gavin… you are not ugly; you are super cute. Totes my type. Secondly, I am single and look at porn occasionally. But, it’s things like the ‘BeautifulAgony’ website. I wonder if “kind” of porn matters when talking about trying to avoid porn. Also, what if people ’bate and only use their imaginations? I suppose that would be slightly “better” in that it takes away at least part of the issue.

Frank, your wife, she is a lucky woman. Do you know why? She is married to a grown up man.

I am 58 years old. So is my wife. I only saw one playboy book, left by my uncle, when I was 14. Never looked at porn since. We have 5 children. When I watch my wife interact with our adult children and our grandchildren, she is amazing, and she is hot. She smiles and laughs and she is a beautiful woman. She is old, 58, but she is beautiful. (Young women might be pretty but not beautiful. ) Sex is awesome because I only have eyes for her, after all who could be the mother of my children.

Not just a guy thing, the millenuals of both sexes are far too porn addicted that began even with generation x and y by both sexes, that also includes the more dangerous mental emotional porn for women of these ‘soap opera’ tv shows and movies!!!

I have a conflict of interest in that I won’t be able to inform you whether or not I reach the 30 days because I usually wank to your videos.

Before it was popular, I once stopped masturbating for three months in my early 20’s. I didn’t feel any different.

Fast forward to age 40, I’m divorced and happily single, with no interest in dating. ( Women are impossible to please in the long run and cost too much) so I masturbate 3 to 4 times a month and don’t look at much porn. Sometimes it’s treated like a chore, just to keep my prostate working. I guess I’m not too interested in sex anymore and am good with that. This “thing” would be easy for me, but just doesn’t interest me.
Been there, done that, no biggie.

Great story…now put on Jesus Christ…you’re going to die you know…

I finally got a hold of myself and came to grips on this. You can’t beat it in the long run.

I stopped after I got married 14 years ago because I discovered women don’t get the same gratification as men do from masterbating. I felt guilty. Also I realized it is self indulgent which hurts my soul and offends my God. I still have a lot to consider before I will be free but it’s a step. Sex. For men is physical, for women it’s emotional. (Generally of course) And besides I don’t need to. She’s always ready. I got what I prayed for

As for porn, if I had a twonie for all the times I’ve heard or read about yet another marriage that a porn addiction has destryoyed, well …

Some couples claim watching porn together stimulates their sex life, so maybe that’s an exception.

This philosophy nicely complements the idea to legalize rape. And Gavin’s claim victims of rape deserve it. Despite that most repeat sex offenders – the hard-core anti-masturbator stalker dudes – force entry – or quietly illegally enter so as to surprise a sleeping target – to rape fully-dressed virgins in their own beds, 80-year old grannies, 90-year old men and of course, their favourite, children.

What about wet dreams? If you have no wife to stalk (poor thing) won’t stopping masturbation simply increase your laundry bill?

I’ve already subscribed to this resolution. 30 days is more than a cycle. Yes my life has improved

I discovered Dr. Judith Reisman when I was doing research into who creates sex ed programs. At her website, top left of page, she has a section, Porn as Erototoxic.

too funny. tangentially related I’m reminded of the Seinfeld episode where George quit sex and his intelligence multiplied. good times
commented 2015-08-14 19:58:04 -0400
30 days? Not a chance. I’m 45 and go about 6-10x a week. In a relationship, maybe 3-5x a week. I don’t need porn either. There have been times when I have a cold where it might be 1-2x a week. Its a mood thing, not a game or a contest.

A culture promoting instant gratification is only part of the equation. Let women take responsibility for their actions in making masturbation more preferable to men these days than having sex with a woman. There may have been some wisdom from the older generation within the context they lived in. These days a man trying to raise a family in a conventional marriage is doomed. The state and the culture are doing all they can to destroy both the man and the institution, so men are walking away.

FIRST let me say that I can’t believe I just watched a video on this topic.
SECONDLY, I’m going to join the “cause”(going to be easy since my avg. is 2 weeks anyway), and just going to put it out there, I do actually watch porn from time to time without engaging in the other activity.

All that wisdom our parents have didn’t get accumulated overnight, people. It’s the result of generations passing down what they’d learned and experienced over lifetimes. I’d argue we’re among the least intelligent, least observant – but most distracted! – generation in recorded history. Sailors and farmers have been predicting weather for hundreds of years by looking at the clues, and I can’t figure out whether or not it’s going to rain this afternoon without looking at my phone… and even that’s usually wrong.
