Now, 404 Media reports that Quittr leaked data about hundreds of thousands of users’ masturbation habits as well as lied about its security issues.
Their security was a bit wank.
Holy fuck TIL there is an anti-masturbation app.
Wtf
it’s a slideshow of Republican appointees.
Yeah, what does that even mean? And why would anyone want it?
Because porn addiction is a real thing and some people who suffer from it want help.
As someone who dealt for way too many years with a heroin addiction, I keep reading things like this and wanting to say stuff like ‘porn addiction isn’t a real addiction.’ But TBF I’ve never had a porn addiction and don’t know what it’s like, so I can’t say that. But there are undeniable differences.
the similarities are far more numerous than not.
porn/masturbation addiction targets the pleasure receptors in your brain and excites your brain to release dopamine.
heroin does the same thing but “louder”.
you’re not addicted to the drug, you’re addicted to the dopamine rush and feelings.
I’m not downvoting you, but this doesn’t explain why you get extreme physical withdrawals from heroin and not from porn.
That’s a reasonable position that doesn’t invalidate the experiences of others [genuine]. There are definitely differences between heroin addiction and porn addiction, but either can be life ruining. Heroin tends to be more dangerous, but that can depend on what kind of porn the person is addicted to, just ask David Carradine.
I have always had a very high sex drive until I went on some medication that actually kills your libido(side-effect).
At one point I was consuming porn 16-18 hours a day(including sleep). I was going to sleep playing nsfw asmr glucking just to get some restful sleep. I had collected almost 20tb of content. sufficient to say, I had a problem.
my addiction was so bad that at one point I was listening to audio erotica on my way to and from work. you don’t know shame until you look at the car next to you at a stop, and there’s a disgusted mother staring you down while your car is screaming to “breed me daddy”.
Not long after I started my meds, I deleted my entire fap cache. if it wasn’t for the meds, I would probably still be doing the same shit. an app like this would have been a nice tool to keep me in check.
It is incredibly hard to believe that.
I had collected almost 20tb of content.
What were they all in 4K? 20 terabytes of video at 4K is around 7 days of non-stop content. But pretty much all pornography is not high quality stuff so we’re looking at more like 22 weeks of content. Also who has 20 terabytes worth of storage anyway?
The US speaker of the house Mike Johnson has mentioned many times how he and his son monitor each other’s masturbation habits through an app
Lots of countries have their fascists and their dictators but the American right are just plain weird.
Are the app’s servers hosted on Epstein island? A father and son sharing chicken choking habits just sounds creepy.
It’s quite creepy and I can definitely picture these uptight evangelical Christian type people thinking it’s totally normal. So weird.
Holy shit
Maybe that’s why he can’t keep up with the news? He should turn the notifications off.
Really? Is touching the ding ding dong such a big deal? I’m not saying porn, a healthy guy can find this sex drive without stimulating material.
I think the porn addiction thing is that you train your brain to seek the reward of sexual pleasure through the cheapest means possible: porn. Cheap as in fast, efficient, and often focusing on exactly what you want. Brain learns, “gee, this is a lot easier this way” and suddenly it’s more difficult to feel engaged with the more natural processes for sexy time.
I understand this, especially during the past years, as many reports (not the nofap guys on reddit, mind you) showed that porn use and abuse has been on the rise, not surprisingly. But going nofap from the state of hypergooning is also dangerous. I think they should set realistic goal and keep journaling, these apps/services are preying on the frail ones. I learnt the concept of gooning against my will.
It’s like coffee to me. My day feels a little more straightened out as long as one gets rubbed out early in the morning.
There’s really not a comfortable way to say that, is there?
i don’t know a guy who doesn’tdo that, really…
Many Christians believe it is sinful, because generally they are uptight as hell about anything regarding sexuality.
Can you believe the developers of that app are paying real money for ads for it? I get Quittr ads online and Facebook all the time. Someone is paying money to try and convince me to not to wank. I can’t imagine a bigger waste of money.
uBlock Origin (Lite) will make those pesky ads a distant memory.
The part that really blows my mind is that someone is paying for this app…
Same but then I found out that most people I know pay close to $500/year in subscriptions alone. Some don’t even remember all the subscriptions they have! A guy at my work was saying that money was really tight and he saved a ton just by cancelling his Adobe and Capcut subscriptions. That’s not on top of at least 3-4 streaming platforms.
❌ subscriptions for apps and streaming
✅ the high seas, libre software
I’m going to need a t-shirt with that on
Many people are addicted and what to quit. It’s a legitimate thing
I am next to certain this is the app I got to track smoking ages ago, they must have thought I wnked 20 a day at work
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.
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.
That particular breed of American Christians who have somehow concluded that Jesus’s main message was NO WANKING.
Yep, the evangelical Christian movement in the US tends to obsess over pretty much everything except the stuff Jesus actually said.
Mama didn’t raise no quitter!
what a jerk off thing to do
Have my upvote and jack off 🖕😡
when no nut november turns into no privacy april
No Privacy Perpetuity
:/
Oh no, someone might find out they jerk off EVERY DAY!
Rookie numbers
doing it on multiple days every day
Doesn’t Mike Johnston and his son use this?
CovenantEyes, which is basically a surveillance app that you set up between you and an “accountability partner” who can see every webpage you browse and be alerted if it’s potentially pornographic.
Basically “JESUS IS WATCHING YOU”.
I’m pretty sure a psychiatrist is what someone needs for this kind of thing not an app
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.
Jacking/jilling off is a stresss reliever. NoFap and other alt-right groups try to dissuade any form of stress relief because they get paid to keep people angry.
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
The fuck kind of headline did I just read? Only in this timeline…
App has AI therapist… We’ve seen Gemini “helping” volnurable people already.
Helping them right over the cliff 🤘
If you think you’re wanking too much, go to a therapist, talk to a friend or parents or just try to find a partner. What the fuck a computer program is going to do to get you to stop wanking.
hahahahaha gooooon hahahahaha I usually feel better afterwards …poor guy. Who gives a shit what people do in the sheets. I need money YO. I can’t believe people pay mind to all this…SHAME SHAME… new revenue streams next they will be tracking your wet dreams. They already tracking duh poops… mooooo moooo we are cattle. ahhhh gawd
Wankr.
