DAE get super anxious and depressed when they don't masturbate (or have sex) regularly? - Lemmy.World
40, cis, never been sexually active. I feel like I’m crazy for even asking this.
When I try to google for anything about anxiety from not masturbating, all I get
are a) results about anxiety/guilt from masturbating, b) articles about how
women shouldn’t feel inhibited from masturbation (which is great, mind you, but
not what I’m looking for), c) things about social/relationship things with
regard to masturbation, d) alt-right #nofap propaganda, and e) just stuff that
seems completely irrelevant to what I’m talking about. I just generally haven’t
had any luck finding any similar experiences or information about anything
remotely like this online. But I feel like I’ve been caught in a vicious cycle
for a while now. I randomly skip a day or two, feel demotivated, and end up not
masturbating for a week or more just because I’m so depressed and anxious and
completely not in any sort of mood to do so. A part of me has thought that maybe
it’s just natural that at 40 my sex drive should be lower, but every time I
start masturbating daily again, my mood improves until the next time I skip for
a day or two and the doldrums take hold. I don’t think this is any kind of OCD
thing where I’m making myself anxious by obsessing that I’m not horny or that
I’m not masturbating either. This isn’t new, really. I’ve known for many years
that I get depressed if I don’t masturbate. But it’s much more pronounced now
than it used to be by a long shot. Another thing I wonder is whether this might
be an indicator of low T". I’ve heard some sources say (though they’re mostly
drowned out by the cacophony of bro-science #nofap bullshit to the contrary)
that masturbation does boost testosterone, at least acutely. Maybe (lots of
speculation here, but) masturbating regularly keeps my baseline testosterone
levels closer to normal than not masturbating does and if I don’t masturbate for
a while, my testosterone levels dip lower for longer periods, worsening
symptoms. And if that’s the issue, maybe TRT would (IANAD. Can you tell?) It’s
just really weird how the whole internet doesn’t seem to know that’s a thing
that can be, but it’s a major part of my experience as a guy. Is this anything
that anyone here can relate to or give any insight into at all?
Why are some men so emasculated?

Why are some men so emasculated? - Sopuli
Why are some men so emasculated? Some men are out of shape, cry a lot, are
overly emotional, and wear emasculated clothes and don’t do “manly” hobbies
(smoking cigars, hunting, drinking whisky/liquor, etc.).
Do you think people who leave mean comments on social media are poor?

Do you think people who leave mean comments on social media are poor? - Sopuli
On social media, when someone posts their relationship and whatever and they get
left with mean comments, do you think those people are poor? Personally, I think
people who troll and leave mean comments are poor because rich people tend to
know better, and rich people have lives, so they don’t really care enough about
what other people who they don’t know are doing; they have lives. Poor people
don’t; they are working-class people with nothing better to do, so of course
they are going to troll on social media. You expect that from poor people.
Is there a reason why Amazon delivery drivers can’t do their jobs right?

Is there a reason why Amazon delivery drivers can’t do their jobs right? - Sopuli
A couple days ago, I ordered books, and they were delivered to my neighbor’s
house. Last night, I ordered something else and it said it was four stops away,
and now I can’t even see the driver. Instead, it just says ‘Out for delivery. We
are sorry for the delay.’ Is there a reason these Amazon drivers can’t do their
jobs right? They’re making $18–$20 per hour driving a truck and delivering
packages, and they still can’t do it correctly? Maybe we should lower their
salaries.
Should I go to family Thanksgiving? I really don't feel like faking.

Should I go to family Thanksgiving? I really don't feel like faking. - Sopuli
My uncle is hosting Thanksgiving. My aunt is apparently going to be there with
her significant other. Their goddaughter is going to be there; overall, 18
people are going to be there, and I don’t feel like faking. For context, I don’t
give a fuck about anyone; I truly don’t. Not my “family” or my “friends” – all
my social interactions I fake. I fake like I care about my friends and their
kids. Overall, I pretty much just fake my human interactions, and right now I
just don’t feel like faking. Like, I really don’t want to be around those
people. I really don’t.

Does crying feel different with a beard/no beard?

Does crying feel different with a beard/no beard? - tchncs
Sorry for the super odd question - I started wondering when writing from a male
character’s perspective - but yeah, does it feel different to have tears running
down your face with a beard vs. without? What happens to tears when they reach
your beard? Do they hang on to the first few hair they touch, or do they run
through the beard?
How would you feel about a successful 28 year old woman dating a 22 year old college student?

How would you feel about a successful 28 year old woman dating a 22 year old college student? - Sopuli
Let’s say there is a 28-year-old woman with a 6-figure job dating a 22-year-old
in college who may have a part-time job while in school and still lives with
their parents. How would you feel about this relationship? Would you wonder what
the woman sees in the guy?
If you don't want your kid to be rich and successful you are a bad parent

If you don't want your kid to be rich and successful you are a bad parent - Sopuli
Some parents don’t want their kids becoming investment bankers because they work
80-100 hours a week; a lot work 9AM-4AM. But guess what? This is a prestigious
job, and the money is great, so if you don’t want your kid doing it, you are a
horrible parent.
