gaming and fapping

Personally, I see 2 potential issues:

1. Some games offer sexualized characters, which can be trigger
2. I fap in front of my PC and I have the feeling that my brain works now like this: PC = Fapping. Sometimes I get horny sitting in front of my PC even while doing something like work. My solution is to try to turn the PC off quickly after working/gaming because I noticed the later the evening, the higher the chance I fap.

 

humans we always bored

videos games... sloppy lifestyle.. sitting around video games are just something to pass the time too much you get bored and eventually end up looking at porn. its not specifically video gaming that is the problem its boredom. and gaming can get bored if too much .

 

Video games have never really been a problem for me, so I can't really see a link between fapping and playing video games, unless you are playing weird adult themed ones from Japan. To me my issues stem from longing and fapping. Even though porn most likely screwed that up for me.

So for now I'll just stick to Video Games, Guitar, Movies, Exercise and Booze for now. For some reason Alcohol seems to be a struggle for many people but Alcohol is a natural mind clearer for me. Especially Drinking alone. Which is highly stigmatized for some reason.

 

Porn and videogames are both completely sedentary which leads to you getting fat as you get older. Fat dudes don't get laid and are generally not respected by anyone. See: https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/this-is-so-true-lol.348717/

 

Hello everyone,

Had this issue, now I'm in Nogaming maybe forever. The problem is that both gaming and porn make you secrete an innatural ammount of dopamine (that you would never get in nature). For me playing games is like edging, then after a game session I immediatly go to porn. I played strategy games and they gave you a high amount of dopamine, I never was able to stop after 5-6-7 hours of gaming (and seeing other people statistic on these kind of game, these are rookie numbers).

Now I rate stay focused in reality, I don't want to escape in another dimension because I need to forget about my life. It's like a nerd that play videogames because in real life he's a loser so he move in another reality so he can be a winner, but that's a fake world that bring nowhere and left you as a 30-40 years old loser with no social relationship and still live in your mom house basement. And, maybe you are at work and when you finish it the only thing you think about is turn on your computer and play...I've did it for years, and precluded the chance of get relationship, friends, ecc...what did I obtained? Nothing, since all these saves are gone, every trophy wasn't worth it. It remain just a passive nerd pornaddict. Did you think to games when you are at work? And now these games like gaas, but even other typologies of gaming try to make you hooked on it...it's not anymore a game, it's a work, so it lose to be funny. You need to spend your entire day complete missions, get new items, ecc....no thanks.

I agree with the other guy, sexualized characters have been pushed for long, and everytime as a hero inside a videogame, I imagine to fuck that pixel woman as my character.

Of course is not true for everyone, I talk as a guy that played games since I was 4-5 years old and now I am 25, with many project that have nothing to do with games. Feel like I've raped my brain with videogames so much. Videogames are so addictive nowadays, watch with suspect the new games.

I read only books now, I have disney+ but is so boring and that netflix series style does not work with me, I never get hook in a tv show since they are boring for me. I usually watch the same movies always, barely watch something new, mostly of the new movies are trash. Books at least make you active, Tv shows, gaming, porn, ecc..are passive. Other things I've replace these with is cycling, and have a few projects on with this.
One of the problem with us ''longtime nerds'' is that we are also virgin (mostly of us), this is a great problem for the modern generation but just don't be sad about it, it's a modern day idea that you should lose virginity at 12/13/14 years old, isn't true. My life objective now are stay away from pornography, games and develop my real passions. If I will have the chance to love someone, I'll do, but I'm not a darwinist so I don't belive that the life-objective is reproduction.

Of course what I've write are personal experience, but I feel like that Porn-Games correlation is true, and very dangerous, only few choosed one can play games with moderation, without getting these effects. So, do what you want with your life, de gustibus.

I'm not radical like you but I agree with that fact (not always, I see many fat people have a girlfriend -even if also fat- while as a normal weight I don't have one. But I honestly admire fat people that try to lose weight, because isn't a simple task. We even share the same name my friend.

 

I don't play video games personally, but in my honest opinion gaming every now and again is a lot better than fapping. Like if you're about to relapse, stop and go play some video games instead I consider that a win.

That being said, is video games better some other things you should be doing? Probably not. Such as going out to exercise, reading, preparing some healthy food, etc. Everyone needs a bit of vice in my opinion, just pick your poison wisely.

 

It doesn't have effect on me . I do not masturbate because of a gaming
