Good for him, but... Why on earth would anyone post that on LinkedIn?

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 95 points 1 day ago (4 children)

and also pay for it to be Promoted

Either he's selling something, or his wife made him do it

[–] JBar2@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's selling his "services" for treating "sexual addiction"

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 1 day ago

Nothing solves a sexual addiction like an encounter with this man.

He’s trying to scam ppl out of money. Why else does anyone post shit on LinkedIn?

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Because that guy is scamming other people to sell a course "how to quit porn" for thousands of dollars

THANK G*D YOU PROTECTED ME FROM THIS E**L WORD

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Yeah the self censoring is fucking crazy. We're on this platform to escape that bullshit, and then it still comes fucking back?

That's ass. The picture itself doesn't even censor the word.

[–] lost@lemmy.wtf 22 points 1 day ago

That's ass.

That's arse, surely.

Always has been. It always felt like a Christian beachhead into internet culture, very reminiscent of church run queer aa groups, but like, the kind where they wind up trying to get you to join because you enjoy socializing at gay bars.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 8 points 15 hours ago

It always felt like a Christian beachhead into internet culture

That is because it was. So much internet bro culture is deeply rooted in US religious nuttery.

Complicated way of saying:

"since I don't masterbate as much I want to fuck her more."

That would have made for a more punchy LinkedIn headline as well.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 8 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

That makes me feel bad for both of them lol

Translation: I jerk off in the bathroom at work because that's the only place my wife can't catch me.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I legit feel bad for people who can't enjoy porn with their significant other. The sex must be awful.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 12 points 20 hours ago

Idk man, my SO needs porn to have a plot to enjoy it and I'm just not prepared to consider the motivation of the actors and actresses on the screen and get lost in the story. That doesn't mean we don't still know how to enter each other's cheat codes, we don't need visual aids for that.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh he's selling help for quitting porn. Thats why it's on LinkedIn. Still weird af though

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 22 hours ago

Curious, given how many jerk-offs use LinkedIn.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 23 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Reminder, that porn addiction was made up by evangelists to push the narrative, that porn is always bad and must be banned.

This narrative, alongside with the rampant sexism and transphobia, caused a tremendous harm to my psyche, a lot more than what porn actually caused to me in my whole life (sore frenulum, and maybe that time could have been "spent better"). Humans are naturally hard wired to need it, unless they're aces, and similarly to those who are not as much into it, there are those who need sexual things much more.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 15 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Porn addiction is as real as any other addiction, however it is not like you are getting hooked on porn after seeing one titty for a single frame.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago

Even if we assume that porn/sex can be addictive, maybe it could create some habitual type situation, there are still these issues:

  1. Other non-chemical addictions such as gambling are not being near as close stigmatized, only video gaming comes kind of close, and only because the very same people can blame mass shootings on it.
  2. A lot of non-chemical addictions can be overcome with the smallest of willpower. A week later I deleted Xitter from my phone I barely checked the desktop version too, and I only have Facebook because family and friends. My country Hungary made tens of thousands of gamblers quit after they banned slot machines from pubs (rare Fidesz W, even if done to drive people into casinos).
  3. Even actual chemical addictions like tobacco and alcohol is sidelined, if not outright encouraged, because "muh nashunal treshurs" like in Hungary.
  4. Porn addiction is often described as just as bad if not worse than cocaine, as a scare tactic. I'm a habitual consumer of porn, but there were times I could not get access to it and were fine, and the times I wasn't fine was due to I couldn't masturbate at all (which nowadays includes anal masturbation too), and it just seems like I have a higher drive than what other guys should have.
[–] SpaceCadet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 hours ago

Anything that provides pleasure and triggers the reward center of the brain can be addictive. There's no need to single out porn in that discussion.

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 day ago

Promoted, lol. I bet his wife just wanted to humiliate him and he accepted in a bid to save the marriage.

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Did his wife make him post this?

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 18 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

People can get addicted to anything. People literally get addicted to water and drink so much it dilutes the sodium in their body.
If you are going to ban porn because one freak spanks his monkey nonstop then you need to ban water as well because people can actually die from those reduced sodium levels ... but won't die from a monkey spanking porn marathon.

Why are people posting this shit on LinkedIn? That place was such a good idea for business contacts and networking, when did it turn into Facebook?

Great, now the rest of us will need to watch more porn to take up the slack. Porn’s not going to watch itself.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

For every porn you don't watch, I'll watch twice as much.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 16 points 13 hours ago

Or just don't feel shame about it

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 14 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Finally we have reached the reddit reposting stage of Lemmy

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 8 points 20 hours ago

Which means soon we will have "Newsweek Writes a Headline Article Based on a Random Fucking Drama Post" stage and we can all monetize and walk away.

Not me, I watch porn when I feel like it. My wife knows about it and its totally fine because we're adults and know what all those sex parts look like and what they do.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 11 points 22 hours ago

Fair play. Bit of a strange thing to put on LinkedIn though
