Leak? Surely they mean "unintended emission."

After the initial amazement, reason kicked back in: of course there would be an app for that, and of course some people would use it and share their intimate life with a company they know nothing about, because it has a bold line "We value your privacy" somewhere on its website.
Is this the one Mike Johnson and his son use?
I think they use covenant eyes, which sees every web page that you view and analyzes text and pictures on every web page. When there is something flagged as sexual on the web page, it sends a report to your "accountability partner". Not sure exactly what's on the report, but safe to assume it shows web address, date, and time that the web page was loaded.
Huge security breach to be on the Speaker's computer.
Wha… t. Fuck, I hate society.
Huh, I wonder if I should share intimate potentially embarrassing and blackmail worthy details with some random tech company who had an app
Blackmail? There’s an app for that!
Blackmailr? Shoot, sign me up! Intake question 1: Have you ever whacked it on a plane to join the “half-mile-high club?”
My cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control. So he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of a sudden, the hydraulics kick back in, and the plane rights itself. It lands safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever you know, away and deboard. Nobody mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.

If they never shared the story, how in fuck did Brodie know‽
Eyewitness testimony.
Well, that depends, are they also charging you a ludicrous sum of money each month? It would make me feel a lot more confident sharing my intimate details if they also required my credit card. The only thing that could set my mind more at ease would be extensive biometrics
"Porn addiction," like "sex addiction," isn't recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders. While porn-viewing can be compulsive, like other behaviors, research suggests that perceived porn addiction predicted distress over actual porn use itself. Yet, the idea of "porn addiction" persists in the U.S., which lacks comprehensive sex education requirements in many states; only 37 percent of states require sex education to be medically accurate, according to Boston University.
What a perfect example of how sexuality is suppressed, controlled, then monetized in the US, and the harm it causes.
Get ready for age verification data breaches like this, except on a worldwide scale.

You reminded me of a post I saw in r/catholicism. OP wanted to stop masturbating, but wasn't able to overcome the urge and felt very bad about it, knowing it was wrong, and was asking advice. All the comments were in the line of "Just trust and submit to Jesus and he'll help you".
WTF... I felt bad for OP and other people in a situation like that.
A lot of things take decades to make it into the DSM even after identified and labeled by professionals, and a lot of things take decades to be removed after professionals say it's not a pathology.
Yeah. The DSM isn’t the final word here. Obviously any superstimulus will have extreme addictive potential. There’s no reason why pornography would be any different than, say, junk food in this regard.
These are great points and are important to consider for mental and sexual health. I also think that the risks accompanying age verification’s mass surveillance and capitalism’s exploitation of America’s institutional sexual repression have a far greater and more harmful impact than porn and masturbation.
Of course, it’s not a bad thing that there is support for people in the form of this app, but I fear that legal policy is expanding to suppress sexuality without consent. For example, data from period tracking apps has already been used to persecute women who seek abortions. If the extreme religious right in America gets their way, could data from anti-masturbation apps or age verification services be used to help prove you accessed “illegal” pornography?
It sounds insane, because it is, but I believe this is where we’re headed in a fascist, sexually repressive America. :/

what a jerk off thing to do
Have my upvote and jack off 🖕😡
App has AI therapist... We've seen Gemini "helping" volnurable people already.
Helping them right over the cliff 🤘
Mama didn't raise no quitter!

No Privacy Perpetuity

Well sonny, do you whack off? Well I won't tell anyone for 3 bit coin.
Doesn’t Mike Johnston and his son use this?
I'm probably wrong but I could swear I messaged them on reddit years ago to ask if they'd release a generalized quit addiction app and they basically said they only cared about nofap.
That particular breed of American Christians who have somehow concluded that Jesus's main message was NO WANKING.
Are these guys part of that litigious pseudo-cult? The one whose founder sued his own mother for talking about the extremist elements?
Apparently there was a disavowal based on legal threats, but that doesn't mean much considering they seem to speak only in lawsuit
I couldn't tell ya. Don't even know for sure if this is the same ones as our conversation was 2 comments on their r/nofap post several years ago.
At first I thought this was stupid, and it is for other reasons, but then I realized that gen z and alpha in the US might legitimately need counseling. Teens and young adults are having less sex. I’d imagine they have a similar sex drive compared to previous generations, but their outlet is themselves.
An app will never be the answer, but there’s assuredly an average number of sex addicts currently feeling shame for a basic human instinct gone haywire. If not for the fact that I’ve been hearing middle schoolers talking about gooning, this thought would never have struck me.
I am pretty sure they have lower drive actually
Why do you say that?
because of obesity, sedentary livestyle and lower testosterone levels
Because they are having less sex.
I would assume it is simply less risky to not have sex, with all the concerns involved (potential pregnancies, STDs, etc).
And consuming more porn than their parents by far. You wouldn’t suggest that vegans have a smaller appetite because they’re no longer eating animal products, right?
Their security was a bit wank.
It's good that the article mentioned that pein addiction isn't real (or at least isn't a specific addiction), but weird that it left out the ties between no-Fap and the alt-right/incel community.
Oh no, is that what they're doing?
They're convincing incels to nofap?
I never really thought about the overlap but you're totally right on that.
God, that explains so much.
My dudes, rub your dick for a bit before you listen to Trump. Trust me on this. You need that pent-up PNC now in order to realize how batshit insane he is.
PNC
Do I want to ask?
Post-nut clarity.
That's why if I use apps to track sensitive data (can also be heath related, bad habits etc) i use a generic app (not things like HeartBeat or SpankTheMonkey), with secret codes and acronyms instead of plain labels
Bunch of wankers
