  • Beliefs shape the way we feel. There’s no biological reason to feel lonely after masturbation. That’s all pseudoscience bollocks. Female orgasms cause a peak of neural activation, if anything, you should feel more active and hungry to go face the world. But the point is that this changes or differences that are usually quoted by charlatans from neurological studies, while significant, are so tiny as to not be an actual factor at an individual level.

    Humans are also bad at correctly discerning causation and correlation, specially within their own emotional experience. Thus why therapy works, it’s a third party that can more objectively call out your contradictions and point out causes.

    Now I would gather you believe that masturbation is something awful lonely people do and that’s why you feel lonely when you masturbate. This doesn’t mean there’s anything inherently wrong with you. However, most people ignore that most of our worldviews, and beliefs we take for granted are actually cemented in childhood experiences, not always traumatic. But they do build the foundations of our personalities.

    It’s perfectly possible to masturbate then go out into the world with hunger and ambition. Most people do.


  • S24 FE. I hate all the recent changes Samsung has been doing but this phone should last me until 2030 at least, probably more. I’m also the only person on Lemmy who likes OneUI, and I’m OK with that now that all alternative launchers are enshittifying.

    By the time I need to replace it, the market will probably be in an entirely different place and maybe even some Linux versions could be more viable.

    I use Immich, bitwarden, mega, and Tuta. Which covers the backup of everything.
