Good for him, but... Why on earth would anyone post that on LinkedIn?

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 103 points 9 months ago

and also pay for it to be Promoted

Either he's selling something, or his wife made him do it

[-] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 63 points 9 months ago

Just another grifter

Scamming guilty Christians out of money. Name a better grift.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 months ago

Plenary Indulgence. Oh wait lol

[-] PlasmaTrout@lemmy.wtf 27 points 9 months ago

Makes more sense now

[-] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 47 points 9 months ago

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 43 points 9 months ago

He’s trying to scam ppl out of money. Why else does anyone post shit on LinkedIn?

[-] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 15 points 9 months ago

Wouldn't you rather hire a guy who you know ~~paid to tell people he~~ isn't cranking his hog to pictures of fat tiddies?

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 14 points 9 months ago

Depends on his reasoning. If it's to sexually repress himself for religious or pseudo science reasons then no I wouldn't.

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Because that guy is scamming other people to sell a course "how to quit porn" for thousands of dollars

THANK G*D YOU PROTECTED ME FROM THIS E**L WORD

[-] donuts@lemmy.world 69 points 9 months ago

Yeah the self censoring is fucking crazy. We're on this platform to escape that bullshit, and then it still comes fucking back?

That's ass. The picture itself doesn't even censor the word.

[-] lost@lemmy.wtf 23 points 9 months ago

That's ass.

That's arse, surely.

[-] WizardofIs@lemmy.ml 14 points 9 months ago

They’ve gentrified r/nofap

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Always has been. It always felt like a Christian beachhead into internet culture, very reminiscent of church run queer aa groups, but like, the kind where they wind up trying to get you to join because you enjoy socializing at gay bars.

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 10 points 9 months ago

It always felt like a Christian beachhead into internet culture

That is because it was. So much internet bro culture is deeply rooted in US religious nuttery.

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 9 months ago

Holy shit they did lol

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 47 points 9 months ago

Complicated way of saying:

"since I don't masterbate as much I want to fuck her more."

That would have made for a more punchy LinkedIn headline as well.

[-] No1@aussie.zone 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That makes me feel bad for both of them lol

Translation: I jerk off in the bathroom at work because that's the only place my wife can't catch me.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

I legit feel bad for people who can't enjoy porn with their significant other. The sex must be awful.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 38 points 9 months ago

Reminder, that porn addiction was made up by evangelists to push the narrative, that porn is always bad and must be banned.

This narrative, alongside with the rampant sexism and transphobia, caused a tremendous harm to my psyche, a lot more than what porn actually caused to me in my whole life (sore frenulum, and maybe that time could have been "spent better"). Humans are naturally hard wired to need it, unless they're aces, and similarly to those who are not as much into it, there are those who need sexual things much more.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 24 points 9 months ago

Porn addiction is as real as any other addiction, however it is not like you are getting hooked on porn after seeing one titty for a single frame.

[-] SpaceCadet@sopuli.xyz 14 points 9 months ago

Anything that provides pleasure and triggers the reward center of the brain can be addictive. There's no need to single out porn in that discussion.

Even if we assume that porn/sex can be addictive, maybe it could create some habitual type situation, there are still these issues:

  1. Other non-chemical addictions such as gambling are not being near as close stigmatized, only video gaming comes kind of close, and only because the very same people can blame mass shootings on it.
  2. A lot of non-chemical addictions can be overcome with the smallest of willpower. A week later I deleted Xitter from my phone I barely checked the desktop version too, and I only have Facebook because family and friends. My country Hungary made tens of thousands of gamblers quit after they banned slot machines from pubs (rare Fidesz W, even if done to drive people into casinos).
  3. Even actual chemical addictions like tobacco and alcohol is sidelined, if not outright encouraged, because "muh nashunal treshurs" like in Hungary.
  4. Porn addiction is often described as just as bad if not worse than cocaine, as a scare tactic. I'm a habitual consumer of porn, but there were times I could not get access to it and were fine, and the times I wasn't fine was due to I couldn't masturbate at all (which nowadays includes anal masturbation too), and it just seems like I have a higher drive than what other guys should have.
[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago

Oh he's selling help for quitting porn. Thats why it's on LinkedIn. Still weird af though

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Curious, given how many jerk-offs use LinkedIn.

[-] Darkard@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

Did his wife make him post this?

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 24 points 9 months ago

Or just don't feel shame about it

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 23 points 9 months ago

People can get addicted to anything. People literally get addicted to water and drink so much it dilutes the sodium in their body.
If you are going to ban porn because one freak spanks his monkey nonstop then you need to ban water as well because people can actually die from those reduced sodium levels ... but won't die from a monkey spanking porn marathon.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 8 points 9 months ago

I hear oxygen is toxic and dissolves you from the insides. We should ban that too.

Promoted, lol. I bet his wife just wanted to humiliate him and he accepted in a bid to save the marriage.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Great, now the rest of us will need to watch more porn to take up the slack. Porn’s not going to watch itself.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 15 points 9 months ago

For every porn you don't watch, I'll watch twice as much.

Only Linked In could turn "not wanking" into a hobby/business.
