Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 22, 2017, 12:52:32 AMStress can definitely cause physical injury.It does it less to an extremely obvious degree, making it better than physical sports.
Stress can definitely cause physical injury.
Minimizing stress is beneficial to everyone, not just for people who deal with chronic stress.
How is jerking off any different?
I'd rather suffer a broken arm than a heart attack or aneurism.
Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 22, 2017, 12:56:16 AMMinimizing stress is beneficial to everyone, not just for people who deal with chronic stress.But it's not necessary for everyone. Doing things just because they're "beneficial" is retarded. What is it worth? Sometimes it's GOOD to be stressed the fuck out. I want to be stressed. It motivates me.Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 22, 2017, 12:56:43 AMHow is jerking off any different?Because the ONLY THING that it gives you is pleasure, making it a colossal waste of time.Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 22, 2017, 12:58:05 AMI'd rather suffer a broken arm than a heart attack or aneurism.You might be retarded.
Your physical health is important verb, shouldn't you want to do everything in your power to preserve it?
Flee outlined several benefits to masturbation that you wrote off, it's not difficult verb.
Also, carpal tunnel exists.
Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 22, 2017, 01:07:49 AMYour physical health is important verb, shouldn't you want to do everything in your power to preserve it?I could not give the slightest fuck about my health. It is more useful to be stressed every once in awhile.QuoteFlee outlined several benefits to masturbation that you wrote off, it's not difficult verb.And I debunked every single one of them effortlessly.QuoteAlso, carpal tunnel exists.Nobody fucking gets carpal tunnel playing video games. Get real.
Now you're just being silly.
You didn't debunk them, you offered alternatives because we should fight our animalistic urges, something you just admitted you don't always do.
I believe a member of this community got carpal tunnel, could be mistaken.
Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 22, 2017, 01:13:50 AMNow you're just being silly.Eustress and distress are fairly basic concepts that most people learn about in high school.QuoteYou didn't debunk them, you offered alternatives because we should fight our animalistic urges, something you just admitted you don't always do.Pretty much the same as debunking, because I obliterated every reason there is to masturbate. If your reasons for masturbating can be easily replaced by better activities, then there's no reason to masturbate at all. Destroyed.QuoteI believe a member of this community got carpal tunnel, could be mistaken.So 1 in 300 billion people get carpal tunnel for playing video games too hard. Big whoop.
You seem to think that competitive gaming doesn't cause distress.
They aren't easy replacements and that is in no way debunking the benefits. You argued from a subjective position and only you think you won that argument.
Can't find any statistics on the matter but one in three hundred billion seems a bit on the low end.
Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 22, 2017, 01:26:21 AMYou seem to think that competitive gaming doesn't cause distress.Because it doesn't if you know how to handle yourself. It's pretty fucking easy.QuoteThey aren't easy replacements and that is in no way debunking the benefits.

That's cool but what does this have to do with Zelda?

Again, handling stress is different from not experiencing it. Your body doesn't handle stress well even if your mind does.
Regardless of how you think doing five different things to get the same benefit of masturbation, that's not debunking it and there's literally no reason beyond we should be fighting our animalistic urges.
There are plenty of articles on it, just none that I can find with statistics.

Point is stress is bad for you, competition isn't healthy.
I'd post the definition but "dictionaries lie, lol"
Nah, just too lazy to look them up.

You listed it as a positive that you got from playing Street fighter, it isn't.

NoSounds like an excuse, you're better than that verb.
Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 24, 2017, 12:56:07 AMNoSounds like an excuse, you're better than that verb.Yes.The thing about impossible things is that they are not possible.
NoNothing is impossible if you're verb, least of all abstaining from your competitive urges.You jerk off?

Abstaining from masturbation has only been a good thing.
So you chastise people for doing something you do.
Either way, stress from competitive gaming can be alleviated by jerking that meat.
Quote from: Poetic Carnage on November 24, 2017, 01:15:25 AMSo you chastise people for doing something you do.Nope, not even close to what I'm doing.And even if I were doing that, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.QuoteEither way, stress from competitive gaming can be alleviated by jerking that meat.That's extremely inefficient.
You can jerk it while waiting for the match to load. Super efficient.
