Thank you for the heads up and the modified quotation reads as follows: I said ^ that I wanted to read the context of such a comment. Note the reply from a female member and his reaction... So, a false assumption is answered and immediately accepted. In addition, he states without equivocation: "I was wrong and I apologize. You all have my support." Was there really a need to make a big deal of this in this thread? Nah, not at all!
I... don't know what to say. I still get panic attacks when I feel the need to phone a girl I like. And she's not answering. And I still get depressed. Life sucks By this, I'm trying to show that outside this forum, I'm living a way bigger drama. It's hard to be me so any of you who feel offended by my words, take note that it's no cake-walk living inside my body as well. @IGY Thanks for the save, man!
You don't have to say anything, man! No worries. As was said, there was an apology. And we all make assumptions or say things that rub people the wrong way sometimes. Miscommunication is a bitch, but it's nobody's fault.
Oh no, I was not offended at all I did recognize his apology. The point was that those things are said due to lack of knowledge of female "pmo". Please do not think I did not recognize that, I apologize if it seemed aggressive. It was just the lack of knowledge that bothers me. If someone wants to know and asks I have no problem but if they assume women can't have a pmo addiction and that it does not affect us, now that bothers me. I apologize if I seemed rude or insensitive.
Your clarification is very welcome @wildwood. I think it was saying, this is my last post on this thread, which sounded as though you were angry perhaps. Anyway, it seems we are all coming to the same conclusions. That is a healthy outcome.
Never ever questioned women on here. In fact, I embrace the idea. This may sound selfish, but I like how it's not just a man problem.
Hm... I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I definitely don't have a hard time trusting men, if that's your question. If anything, I have a much harder time relating to women than men, as I grew up with a lot of really close guy friends. Women often confuse me probably as much as they do you.
Obviously if you feel this thread doesn't apply to you. Move on. My point was, to put it even more clearly: women deal with porn the exact same as men. So please stop trying to get your rocks off by asking ignorant questions. If you get offended easily... Sorry, wasn't trying to squash your feelings
Because I was on the verge of leaving NoFap. But some people needed to get told again. So I came back
The exact same way @Jae? No. Not even men deal with porn the exact same way. At 16, do you really think you have the requisite knowledge and experience to state so categorically that men and women deal with porn the exact same way? Let us assume an equally inexperienced teenage male has made a false assumption, as you have. He may likewise be ignorant, but why shouldn't he ask his question? After all, the result of his enquiry is that he will be told the way things actually are, not how he imagines them to be. What could possibly be wrong with that? Any others reading that thread will be educated by it also. Furthermore, I find it offensive that you impute bad motive(s) about those asking questions, namely, that they are, 'trying to get their rocks off by asking ignorant questions'! This is out of order and a misandrous slur on males. Your comment about moving on is ironic. Why not do that yourself, if you find yourself irritated by a question or a statement made in ignorance. Meanwhile, if you want to expand your knowledge about how men and women do not deal with porn in the exact same way, please post your question(s) on the Porn addiction forum. You raised in your first post on this thread, that there is a correlation between the loss of sensation and feeling a woman can experience and erectile dysfunction in men. If you honestly believe it to be as simple as that, you really need to ask some questions (as I have invited you to above). I find it hard to believe you think ED relates only to a lack of feeling. If you get offended easily... Sorry, wasn't trying to squash your feelings
The majority can always complain that the minority bitches too much. Feel free to have any opinion you want about me or women. You think we're whiny? Keep that opinion. But you're not a girl, so you can't speak for us. Call me sexist for wanting to be included in the NoFap community without ridicule. My whole 16 years of experience has done me well. I'm glad that I found this site this early. I don't feel bad about that, and my limited experience in PMO is a good thing.
I do think this happens. Perhaps not consciously. Implicitly. The idea of female porn addicts is titillating. I mean, just look at all the men that respond to female requests for an AP while male requests for APs get like, what, one or two responses at best? It's a temptation I've felt before, when I had less days under my belt.
It may well happen. But I find it insulting to generalise that men have an agenda when they ask a question. Not impressed!
