This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon can't even win in his creative writing exercises. Wild world.

It’s meant to roast other anons. 4chan culture is largely similar to a pot of crabs, where the water is social ineptitude and crabs is crabs because carcinization has converted this metaphor as it will all species.

Anon is actually into humiliation

Yeah this sounds like the sort of misery porn they love over there. It's always stories about how miserable shit is.

I dont get how people can be so porn addicted that they dont get hard. Im not a raging degenerate though

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because it's not real. Porn addiction isn't a medical condition. It's just made up by incels who want sympathy from others for making bad choice, and by man-fluencers who are selling toxic masculinity.

Lack of exercise, poor nutrition, bad sleep, and tons of other stuff that 4chaners probably do can definitely ekad to ED though. So it could just be yet another mixup of correlation vs causation.

Isn't it like gambling addiction?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gambling Disorder is recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual for Diagnosing Mental Disorders.

Porn Addiction is not.

Used to be they didn't recognize a whole lot of things we now realize are actual things. I would be a bit careful about considering it an absolute arbiter on the matter

While the World Health Organization's ICD-11 (2022) has recognized compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (CSBD) as an "impulsive control disorder",[1] CSBD is not an addiction,[2][3][4][5][6][7] and the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5 (2013) and the DSM-5-TR (2022) do not classify compulsive pornography consumption as a mental disorder or a behavioral addiction.

It would make sense that a layman would call "impulsive control disorder" an "addiction".

Imagine being so used to having a cup of strong coffee perk you up in the morning, that a cup of tea wouldn't be enough.

It's essentially the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Viagra would be the same thing. Porn, I don't get it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's sooooo much porn out there. Imagine the hottest women you can, performing your absolute favourite kinks and fantasies, it's a few clicks away, free and nearly unlimited. It's pretty hard for women in real life to compete with that.

Most of us have natural sexual attraction to other (real-life) people, but if the mind becomes conditioned to getting off when ever it wants in front of a computer screen then that can cause problems in real life situations.

Can't say I've had this issue. Real life is different, in a good way.

Anything in moderation is usually not too bad, a problem becomes much more likely if you've been masturbating to porn several times a day for months or years with no real life sexual encounters.

Howcome ive heard of guys who preemy cum when a girl just holds their hand then? Like, they can be absolutely depraved and something as benign as a hug can make them lose their motor control and cum buckets. Unless you have some absolutely twisted and psychologically fucked up pleasures then I dont know how comparing to coffee is the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Might be breaking news, but humans are different. You are talking about two extreme sides of a spectrum here.

Everyone's focusing on the boring parts here, I need to know more about resetting the Harambe timeline

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Harambe? You mean the gorilla at the Cincinnati zoo? I just saw him yesterday, he is such a darling!

[–] Buddahriffic 3 points 2 years ago

His kid is doing really well, too! He's in high school now, his English isn't that great but he's very assertive and confident. Harambe is raising him well. Even that brutal murder of the zoo employee didn't cause so much trauma that Harambe couldn't counsel him through it. They never did catch the killer...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Where is Harambe?! Is he safe? Is he alright?!

[–] decisivelyhoodnoises 16 points 2 years ago

There is a level of high that the effects are reverted. You just need to get higher.

  • this is not an advice. Consume responsibly. Always know your limits. Also I'm pretty sure it doesn't work the same for all the people

Blue pills only help keeping it up, not getting it up. You also have to have them to use them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Blue pills still means you need stimulation and from what I know they absolutely make it easier to get there

[–] CookieJarObserver 2 points 2 years ago

There are ones that help getting it up...
