It’s nearly Christmas, and so I’ve decided to give myself an early present by giving in to my strange fascination with the Semen Retention subreddit, again.
Today, some thoughts on “female attraction” and how women aren’t really attracted to any man who isn’t diligently not-fapping, according to a dude who diligently doesn’t fap or, apparently, ever spill his seed in any context.
So there you have it.
This dude’s post got dozens of upvotes on the SR subreddit, because of course it did.
These are the dumbest people I’ve ever seen and i had to spend last night watching fox news because I’m at my aunts. Had the most vile woman trying to say an abortion was a mother killing a baby after its born.
Of course, the bible interpreters that have received all the attention to their views have always been men.
This raises the possibility that many of the “semen retainers” on the internet may be married, heterosexual women:
@IronCthulhu
Was it this one? Because men can be happy without sex. Interest in doing sexy things is on a scale, with “yes!!!” On one side and “eh, nah.” On the other.
I’d say this scale is usually subdivided further, with “interest in doing sexy things with others” and “interest in doing sexy things with yourself” as two categories.
Sometimes all someone wants is a little alone time, and they’re good. Sometimes not having a partner for sexy times makes people (men, women, and all flavours of people) unhappy.
Pretty much the point is this: men can deal with their own emotions re: wanting sex. No one owes it to them. If they don’t have a partner, they can still take care of themselves while they look for someone who likes them enough for partnered sexy times.
No, this is not quite true. ‘Aloof’ is the wrong way to look at this, since it usually means ’emotionally distant’. Just don’t be obsessed with sex, and getting every woman around you to have it with you. Be cool.
Is it appropriate for you to ask her? Is your relationship one that could include sex?
Is she saying no, either with verbal or non-verbal cues?
Has she told you ‘no’ before (verbally or non-verbally)?
Women (i feel confidant stating these things) like a man who a) they are interested in, and b) isn’t BADGERING them about his dick.
It isn’t aloofness that is hot, re: sex, it’s being able to communicate that you’re interested in a non-creepy manner, and then responding to the answer, be it a yes, no, or maybe later (this might also be a soft no) appropriately and with grace.
Buttercup:
lots of money = economic status
popular celebrity = social status
dark triad bad boy = asocial status
chiseled looks = marble status
Clearly, REAL attraction has nothing to do with whether women will have sex or relationships with you. It’s not something women feel consciously, and certainly not something they associate with you personally.
REAL attraction enables women to have fulfilling, procreating life-long relationships with some other man, as nature intended.
@Rhuu
She was making a stronger point that men could be happy because of not having sex. She brought up the example of a yogi who had transmuted his sex drive/sexual energy whatever you want to call it.
It’s true that the semen retention/nofap thing has a lot of woo surrounding it so it would be helpful to remember the guys name for the purposes of this post. I can’t seem to find anything by combining the terms “virgin” “incel” “yogi” “meditation” “gamma”. It was shortly after the Minassian van attack & the flurry of discussion about incels that came from that.
Out of curiosity, is it still possible to buy things pickled in honey? I’m now curious what things pickled in honey taste like
Damn you block quote
Btw I’m driving home from my aunt’s and just saw a Mennonite buggy and horse go by if that gives you any idea lol
Hah, ridiculous.
Everyone knows that women are only attracted by the ownership of multiple mid-sized crepuscular rodents.
Chinchilla Dave is correct. If a man has a chinchilla, I’d be 50% more likely to chat him up. A ball pit full of chinchillas would work even better. There are no diminishing returns on chinchillas.
Me, reading the blogpost header:
Me, after reading the thing:
This needs to be a bumper sticker, so that people will see it entirely divorced from its original context. I love this SO HARD.
That warrant a “it make just as much sense in context” tag.
What about guinea pigs? They’re mid-size rodents, but not crepuscular (they basically alternate between short periods of activity and sleep – which they do with their eyes open). Do women experience Real Attraction to men with guinea pigs? Asking for a friend.
I also would like to say that the only one of my my cis/het guy friends who owns a chinchilla is about 50% percent likely to be as much of a virgin as I am, and whether or not he is is a question whose answer definitely lies in this pre-chinchilla days, so take that as you will.
That chinchilla’s fur is really fucking soft, though, so there’s that.
They are dang cute
My ex-girlfriend had 2 chinchillas. The little chinchillas were so adorable and soft.
@Allandrel
I would hypothesize that guinea pigs are not as effective, but this needs field testing. Send pigs.
In fact, I think all guys out there should give this a shot. Unsolicited pics of guinea pigs would definitely go over better than photos of their pants weasel.
Guinea pigs are like pants weasel : it’s something intimate I would not show to strangers on the internet.
@Ohlmann
Oh, dear. I show strangers on the internet pictures of mine all the time.
My piggies, that is.
Unsolicited piggie pics are, to me at least, quite a few steps up from unsolicited dick pics.
I should hope I have not offended anyone with the unsolicited image of my Siberian Husky that serves as my avatar.
Eh, that’s a case of different persons having different standards, that’s all. You would get photos of thoses from my dead, cold hands.
(TBH, it’s the intent that count for me more than what is shown. What make dick picks incredibly offensive to me is that the intent behind it is rapey at the very best)
(also, I am particulary prude, and wish to not see a lot of stuff that society say is acceptable ; sadly the only acceptable solution in most cases is to not say to anyone that I am uncomfortable)
