That last one is 100% #nofap.
I think that like PUA stuff, once the toxic elements are removed, nofap isn’t actually a bad idea. I mean young men are so addicted to hardcore porn these days that it’s no wonder many of them getting erectile dysfunction when they finally do get with a real woman. Just like “touching grass” and “logging off” I don’t think it’s a bad thing to abstain from masturbating for a little bit. Especially if masturbation is mentally linked in your mind to porn. If it takes like a few weeks (or in hardcore cases) a few months to deprogram your porn brain, that’s probably for the better. Also, you’ll come to appreciate realistic beauty instead of the “mega hot chicks” in the porn videos.
Twin studies more or less debunk this for you.
I’ve seen good criticisms of twin studies and how they’re not that reliable:

Looking for fellow 30+ year old peasant (who in all likelihood has undiagnosed ADHD) for paired webdev/mobile learning.
I know you’re looking for someone to collaborate with, but just an FYI that if ^ this was an employment posting it would break age and disability discrimination laws. There’s no reason that what you’re looking for is someone over/under a certain age or with/without certain conditions. We’ve all legitimately criticized dating profiles that say “looking for white blonde female with no prior sexual partners, and age 18-23, etc. etc.” so might wanna just keep that in mind next time comrade.
Not getting laid is not a social problem. It’s not even a problem in the first place.
I mean, this is what capitalists/reactionaries/bootlickers say about all sorts of things, like representation in media, realistic beauty standards, healthcare, gainful/meaningful employment, etc.
“Just be confident bro!” “Don’t worry just be yourself bro!”
It’s frustrating, because when someone tries to point out that men need dating advice, you’re hit with “oh that’s not a thing just be normal.” Seeing this in a leftist space (of all places) is super discouraging.
Yeah he sucks, but I’d wouldn’t dismiss the opportunity to swipe his huge audience, that’s all. If Fox News chuds can clap for Bernie at a town hall, it shouldn’t be too hard to convince Destinty’s gamer crowd, especially since many chapos are gamers too (even tho they’d deny it and make fun of gamers).
