The fuck kind of headline did I just read? Only in this timeline...

If you think you’re wanking too much, go to a therapist, talk to a friend or parents or just try to find a partner. What the fuck a computer program is going to do to get you to stop wanking.

Holy fuck TIL there is an anti-masturbation app.

Wtf

The US speaker of the house Mike Johnson has mentioned many times how he and his son monitor each other’s masturbation habits through an app

Lots of countries have their fascists and their dictators but the American right are just plain weird.

[-] Eh_I@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Maybe that's why he can't keep up with the news? He should turn the notifications off.

Really? Is touching the ding ding dong such a big deal? I'm not saying porn, a healthy guy can find this sex drive without stimulating material.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Many Christians believe it is sinful, because generally they are uptight as hell about anything regarding sexuality.

[-] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

I think the porn addiction thing is that you train your brain to seek the reward of sexual pleasure through the cheapest means possible: porn. Cheap as in fast, efficient, and often focusing on exactly what you want. Brain learns, “gee, this is a lot easier this way” and suddenly it’s more difficult to feel engaged with the more natural processes for sexy time.

I understand this, especially during the past years, as many reports (not the nofap guys on reddit, mind you) showed that porn use and abuse has been on the rise, not surprisingly. But going nofap from the state of hypergooning is also dangerous. I think they should set realistic goal and keep journaling, these apps/services are preying on the frail ones. I learnt the concept of gooning against my will.

It’s like coffee to me. My day feels a little more straightened out as long as one gets rubbed out early in the morning.

There’s really not a comfortable way to say that, is there?

i don't know a guy who doesn'tdo that, really...

[-] melfie@lemy.lol 14 points 16 hours ago

Are the app’s servers hosted on Epstein island? A father and son sharing chicken choking habits just sounds creepy.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

It's quite creepy and I can definitely picture these uptight evangelical Christian type people thinking it's totally normal. So weird.

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, what does that even mean? And why would anyone want it?

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 12 points 12 hours ago

Because porn addiction is a real thing and some people who suffer from it want help.

[-] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

As someone who dealt for way too many years with a heroin addiction, I keep reading things like this and wanting to say stuff like 'porn addiction isn't a real addiction.' But TBF I've never had a porn addiction and don't know what it's like, so I can't say that. But there are undeniable differences.

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 25 points 20 hours ago

Can you believe the developers of that app are paying real money for ads for it? I get Quittr ads online and Facebook all the time. Someone is paying money to try and convince me to not to wank. I can't imagine a bigger waste of money.

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 12 points 20 hours ago

The part that really blows my mind is that someone is paying for this app..

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 9 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Same but then I found out that most people I know pay close to $500/year in subscriptions alone. Some don't even remember all the subscriptions they have! A guy at my work was saying that money was really tight and he saved a ton just by cancelling his Adobe and Capcut subscriptions. That's on top of at least 3-4 streaming platforms as well.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 2 hours ago

I mean in a way I get it. It's easier to just pay subscription services and to have to try and deal with the utterly terrible torrent sites which by the way are no better now than they were 20 years ago.

❌ subscriptions for apps and streaming
✅ the high seas, libre software

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

uBlock Origin (Lite) will make those pesky ads a distant memory.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 10 points 18 hours ago

it's a slideshow of Republican appointees.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 27 points 1 day ago

Just jerk off. As long as you don't rub your dick raw it's healthy. And Jesus doesn't give a fuck. Mostly because he is not real you dingus.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago

There's no more reason to doubt the existence of a Jewish carpenter who pissed off the government and got nailed up for it than there is to doubt the existence of the Roman official who ordered the nailing.

The supernatural stuff is a different matter.

[-] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Yep seems likely Jesus was a real historical figure. Possibly an anti capitalist activist who got executed, and after his death the mythology started to spring up.

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Probably some troll time travelers healed him in the tomb. New religion starts.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 190 points 1 day ago

Huh, I wonder if I should share intimate potentially embarrassing and blackmail worthy details with some random tech company who had an app

I bet it did.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 32 points 1 day ago

Leak? Surely they mean "unintended emission."

[-] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Surprise decentralized backup.
