K-Mac Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I love how on the About Us page, the money goes to a charity for poor, overseas children. How sweet! Above all the financial profits for this program are being used to support a social project, the Albania Sunrise School. Above all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Andrew Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Makes you feel guilty after masturbation (inferiority complex) I've heard people describe the climax different ways, but never with guilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capitalism Forever Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Proud to be posting the first non-knee-jerk reaction: I am not familiar with the book, but based on these quotes from the FAQ: I want to know if it is a "good" or "bad" thing to masturbate. I want to know with a scientific rather than a dogmatic explanation. [...] I see successful people and want to become like them. I understand that I spend most of my time in masturbation and that they don't and I am willing to take action to overcome this habit once for all. [...] Masturbation [...] Weakens your ability to make money (since you spend most of your valuable time watching pornographic content and then masturbating) [...] Prevents you from having better sex with your partner [...] Creates a negative psychology that can affect your business life [...] Prevents you from making your life's dream come true (since you spend most of your valuable time watching pornographic content and then masturbating) [...] Masturbation causes our bodies to become sexually responsive to masturbation instead of the heterosexual stimulation of "normal" sex. For a man, this change in sexual responsiveness affects his ability to be sexually excited by his wife or partner, gain and maintain an erection, restrain himself during sex so he and his wife or partner can reach orgasm together. [...] The purpose of this program is to [...] show a practical step-by-step approach to stop masturbation and start enjoying your life, every single moment --it does not look like they are appealing to an irrational sense of life.

Capitalism Forever Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Not to mention this one: In fact we believe that many of the problems we face in today’s modern world are based on dogmatic thinking and not on rationality.

Their claims are ludicrous. Most people masturbate at least once in awhile, and they aren't falling out of society, totally obsessed.with pornography. They're normal people. Most people who get screwed up by porn and masturbation were probably already weirdos who found an outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know man, I first masturbated with I was 12, and now I have to carry around a portable DVD player with me so that I can watch porn when I'm walking down the street.

No, the words used appear to be quite rational, perfectly in order. So do all the arguments in favor of intelligent design for instance. The only thing missing, in both cases, is any shred of evidence to support all those otherwise perfectly reasonable-sounding claims: 1. "I see successful people and want to become like them. I understand that I spend most of my time in masturbation and that they don't and I am willing to take action to overcome this habit once for all." Facts: Successful people masturbate, and almost no one who masturbates spends more than an hour a day doing it. 2. [...] Prevents you from having better sex with your partner [...] Creates a negative psychology that can affect your business life Wrong. In fact it most likely helps especially young people to discover themselves before being thrown into a stressful situation where they need to perform. Being more prepared the first time means they are more likely to have a good experience, hence a positive psychological effect. Masturbation causes our bodies to become sexually responsive to masturbation instead of the heterosexual stimulation of "normal" sex. For a man, this change in sexual responsiveness affects his ability to be sexually excited by his wife or partner, gain and maintain an erection, restrain himself during sex so he and his wife or partner can reach orgasm together. I'd love to see some evidence for that. I for one haven't noticed any such "change in sexual responsiveness". The purpose of this program is to [...] show a practical step-by-step approach to stop masturbation and start enjoying your life, every single moment The only reason why anyone would have a problem with enjoying his or her life due to reasonable amounts of masturbation(even daily) is guilt. Stupid, religious guilt that stems from being subjected to psychological abuse as a child. If you want your children to lead a happy, guilt free life, keep them away from church, not masturbation or porn.

There's actually good evidence for that one, but it's a factor of how much. Someone who masturbates several times a day will condition his body to ejaculate quickly.

Someone who masturbates several times a day will condition his body to ejaculate quickly. Huh. I do it about 4-5 times a week, so I guess I could be borderline. Although I haven't noticed any changes, I better look into this : What's the evidence? P.S. I once heard a very good doctor(MD) discuss this, and he did mention there's evidence suggesting this is true, but he said it's nowhere near conclusive. In fact he said the benefits of masturbation (in moderation) outweigh the drawbacks. This was a few years back. Another thing I heard(this is mostly just hearsay though) is that most sex-addicts in fact don't ejaculate quickly, they tend to masturbate for a long time rather than often.
