You forgot the "I need to sleep and the post nut nap is a good way to get sleep started option.
And maybe also, wierdly, the possibility "I need to get up and having a wank seems like a good way to get the systems starting up."
Either way, they all fall in the category of, what I've come to call, the Keine Lust Fap, named so after the Rammstein song. You're fapping, not because you're horny, but because of other reasons.
yes
How did you know I was masturbating?
You totally killed the mood.
This meme killed it for me as well, so I had to share.
Thank you, that helps bring the mood back.
While reading Lemmy comments?
Jokes aside there's really some truth in this. I'm not sure if it's the dopamine or that I just need to disctract my mind away from the things that makes me anxious but I sure as hell don't do it because I'm horny. I don't even remember what being horny feels like.
And no, I'm not one of those nofap/pornfree fanatics. For most people there probably is not an issue there. It's only when you spend 6 hours several times a week doing something like this that you might start to consider this may not be good for you.
i mean i think the problem is less whacking one out and more the fact that it's what you have to resort to to bring some joy into your life
Actually, I do believe it's true, because I went through a phase like this where I wanted nothing else but sex and I masturbated a lot. Nothing else interesred me, everything else was stupid and boring. Turns out I was depressed, got medication for that, still take it and things just got back to normal.
But, I never understood why a depressed person would want to have sex so much and masturbate a lot... until I saw this, and then it clicked. I probably just needed the dopamine fix because that was the only thing that made me feel good.
Depression and anxiety definitely has something to do with it in my case but what's weird is that I don't have any desire for sex whatsoever. It's 100% just a habit/addiction/distraction. I hardly even get any pleasure from it and without an exception feel absolutely shit afterwards. Then I hit rock bottom and stop doing it for few weeks but as the first signs of healing start appearing meaning I can feel the tiniest amount of horniness again I then relapse and the loop starts all over again.
Been without about a week now, again, and I'm about at the point where it starts getting hard again. By it I don't mean IT.
ha joke's on you, my anti depressants don't let me masturbate at all
What if I just have ADHD and it's the only way to generate dopamine anymore
I was scratching my balls and one thing led to another…
This just makes me sad and need a wank :(
Why not both?
How else am I supposed to sleep?
REAL TALK
My man out here with the real questions.
It can be both, I can multitask.
They used to tell kids they would go blind if they do this. :)
reported for targeted harassment againt me
Maybe being depressed is my kink, so both.
You ain't gotta call me out like that
Yes
Too real
Mostly because I'm horny but sometimes because I want an easier time going to sleep.
yes
I can be two things.
she cute
I feel like there are more choices like
Angry and need the distraction
Cuz I have restless leg syndrome and when it's bad it won't let me sleep otherwise (RLS is sometimes treated with a dopamine agonist).
I'm horny because I'm depressed and need the dopamine
It's just something to do, you know?
