This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

Yeah beating the meat doesn't cause any addiction. Just like drinking alcohol doesn't cause addiction? Or injecting drugs into your body? Do you even know the definition of addiction.
If you are a man, just masturbate 3 times a day, and then don't masturbate at all for a while. You will see the difference. You don't need some expert validation for simple shit like that
Bro do you really think masturbating is the same as alcohol or drugs addiction lol. If you genuinely believe that, then idk what to tell you, you're just wrong. Please try to look for a single scientific paper that supports this absolutely wild view. I will pay you in a million uplemmys.
It's not the same intensity. But it's on the same page
If you want some scientific evidence here's an excellent collection, https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/relevant-research-and-articles-about-the-studies. And an animated series of the same, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6gk4lW1hPo
Why don't you get yourself tested using the method I showed you earlier? Your own empirical evidence
It's all brain chemistry. You get addicted to states of mind. Some people are addicted to being mad or sad. Literally anything can be psychologically habit forming.
Cool, so did you find any scientific papers supporting that again? Asking for the third time now. Don't care about speculation, just proven science.
