How do you find Masturbation? People do it and I'm sure people on /lit/ do it too, but how does it affect you? Many artists and writers believed that it killed creativity, while others found the opposite. Frederic Chopin believed that it killed the creative impulse and would refrain from doing so. Balzac masturbated however only to the point of ejaculation and never over, he believed in sexual stimulation as a source of creativity but believed that ejaculation removed his creative energy. And sex in general. No doubt sex can be a source of inspiration, I find, but can it be a source of creativity too? To me it's both, I find masturbation at times to kill my creative impulse but also at times to provide me with a creative flow.

Other than the fact that it's a huge timesink if you're easily distracted by it, it has no positive or negative influence on writing.

>It's being a pussy. Saying he isn't a beta faggot for having to his pen to write tirades against a guy is like saying Dante wasn't a beta faggot who wrote Christian fanfiction punishing people he didn't like and idolizing a girl he barely knew.
>Accept he was a brilliant beta faggot and you are his not so brilliant bitch.

I think masturbation helps if you're stressed out. If you're not then it is just taking your time. Time you could spend doing something else. Especially if you're masturbating all the time like I used to.

This thread is kinda edgy do I suggest you go to >>>/r9k/

Isn't that what most men do? I mean... refractory periods?

The problem of the wanking is not a problem of the activity, but rather of the intentions behind it.
If you are addict to it, just like any addiction, you will not be at ease with your life.
If wanking is solely something that ''your body mandates you to do'', you can get on with it on a few minutes per day, or even better, since you get quickly jaded of this such as the typical concept of desire from Plato/the greek, you can ditch this while wanking.


There is indeed a difficulty with pornography consisting in the aopria of the image. The more you reveal, the less you imagine it. THis is what differs between pornography and erotism. THis is what differs between lingerie in fine dentelle and g-strings.
The more you show, the more exposed the subject, the more intantaneous pleasure you have, the quicker your pleasure leaves.

This is problematic today, since everything is based on images (even wars on TV, if you do not put your subject in images, if you do not illustrate it, it will not pass on the air)

Balzac... 60 cups of coffee a day.

Apparently Beethoven was the same way. Completely insatiable lust for the bean.

Yeah this is basically Mendelsohn's, Lessing's and Kant's idea behind what allows for something to be beautiful. The beautiful must allow some degree of "free play of the imagination"

Fuck this. This happens everytime and still I do it again the next day.

Fuck you OP for reminding me of why sexual stimulation is a sugar-coated poison pill for me.

It can be a time thief. I don't think masturbation influences my creativity in any other regards.

The people around me I find intellectually engaging tend to also be the people I want to have sex with though.

It seems to vitiate my mind; if I do it in the morning, then the rest of the day I have this mental haze and inability to really achieve anything. Sometimes taking a shower or going for a run fixes this though. I've been trying to limit myself to only 2 or 3 times a week.

so is the female orgasm kind of per definition an amphiboly?

[Anonymous No.6663529]

I feel languid for long enough after the orgasm that I consider it a threat to creative potential. That in tandem with based Kant's infallible conviction has turned me off from masturbating. I have been clean for two weeks.

he females have an epilectic reaction.
THis is how you know that these strange little creatures are pure sexual beans. Men do not give a shit about sex, the female does, since the sex is the experience that makes most people feel alive the most, and men never cared to please women. But since the 70s, men are under the pressure to deliver since the female is no longer in the habit to compromise on her desire of sex.

The Betas are the most alienated in that they feel special if they give an orgasm to a female. To the weakest, sex permits to have direct grasp of your existence by the reaction of the real onto yourself, especially the real under a human form.

I find it causing problems in my overall lifestyle. It drains motivation and some sort of conformity has developed in my brain due to it. It's like any addiction I suppose. I feel fucking amazing when I go a week without masturbating.

I started writing and immediately started thinking about masturbation being in the way and coffee being a good source of concentration and drive.
Im not sure if masturbation is in the way of creativity or drive but the question of masturbation being in the way naturally arose for me.

I once was able to stay up all night writing a paper by mindlessly jerking off while doing so. I wasn't even horny but the stimulation kept me going. As soon as I took my had off my cock I'd get sleepy again.

But that only happened once. Generally jerking off just eats into my time like other people already said. Because when I jerk off, I like doing the whole shebang of watching hypno porn and chatting with boys on omegle and edging for a good 1-2, sometimes 3 hours.
