Does anyone knows how to close the pandoras box of self-satisfaction? I can't seem to find a way to close it after stumbling over F95.....
If you need to ask, then it's highly unlikely to happen (you making it it happen). Only one thing can stop felf-abuse,
will. But make no mistake, I'm not talking about a hippie/new age notion of will. I'm talking about motivation and determination. If you don't have them (for ex: a bright view of your future, life opportunities, achievable future plans, loved ones to take care of, etc, etc...) then I would say you're more likely to be motivated not to stop. Self-abuse is the poorest man's vice (not talking financially only), you don't do it for enjoyment, you do it to momentarily drawn your "sorrows". And even though, in this day and age, those used for an agenda will tell you it's a good thing, you already know it is not. It has terrible effects on your body (in the long run) especially your entire digestive tract..
In conclusion, if future physical well being and psychological outlook aren't in the cards for you, and momentary satisfaction is called for, you might as well forget about it and do what you must...
I apologize in advance if this question was merely a joke, but if it wasn't, one person might find this reply useful/interesting.
