The NIH might not be a preferred source for you, but the current understanding is that ED and masturbation is not correlated.
From everything I can tell, the "no fap" movement is mostly from incels and conservative Christians.
Can't help being suspicious of who funds such "authoritative" studies. You remember the decades when the sugar industry funded all the studies regarding the obesity epidemic? Yeah, foxes guarding the henhouse.
Warfare comes in many different forms: Hand-to-hand combat, Surface-to-air missiles, psychological warfare... Pornography & social isolation is a whole next level of warfare. Breaking humans down from the root at the individual level, reducing birthrates, thereby reducing population.
Y'all just keep wanking though. They've got you right there where they want you. In the palm of your own hand.
Who is this "they"? This is where these idiotic conspiracy theories always fall apart. The government? Big pharma selling ED pills? Satan?
You're spewing hateful Christian Nationalist rhetoric aimed at shaming men. I'm not sure who you are trying to convince on Lemmy anyway. This seems like a troll or costly signaling.
I'm not religious. Just logical. Witnessing a loneliness epidemic sweeping the earth since the internet began.
"THEY" are everyone in positions that run corporations, & politicians, people in high positions of authority, including all the DAVOS type of people.
THEY've learned how to tap into commoners' most vulnerable weaknesses in order to extract maximum amounts of money & power for THEMSELVES, incrementally changing the landscape of society to meet THEIR ultimate agenda.
With maximum money & power, THEY can minimize the population, exterminating all the excess undesirable people like cockroaches.
And with all the undesirable bits of the population finally gone, the wealthy will finally have this amazing planet all to themselves. All the beachfront properties & tropical paradises. All the ski resorts. All the lakes & waterfalls. All for THEMSELVES to enjoy with no more poor broken pathetic people overrunning everything.
I'm not trolling, that would take too much mental gymnastics to spew such things without actually believing it. And I don't know what "costly signaling" means.
Anti-porn narratives have been started mostly by the church of Jesus christ of latter day saints. To maintain control over their members so they keep giving 10 percent of their income.
You mentioning a creepy religion?
Tons of people all over the world who don't belong to any religion have formulated their own personal opinions that "porn is gross. " It interferes with relationships. It isolates people. It ruins relationships.
I'm done here. There's nothing more I can say.
And most of these opinions can be traced back to the church of Jesus christ of latter day saints.
I think you would be more effective if you provided any sources at all. So far, I see a lot of correlations = causation fallacies. Just because two things are correlated and trend together, there is no proof one causes the other. The onus is on the debater to prove with additional data that the two things are, in fact, related.
