Serious The best cope is having a child mentality again

[Fontaine]

Before puberty, did you look at girls in a sexual way? Nope. You ignored them or treated them the same way as boys. You found intense contentment in learning about insects, reading a cheap adventure novel or playing a video game. Sex wasn't on your mind. That's why they call it the innocence of childhood.

Now our dopamine receptors are fried by years of porn, making us unable to enjoy cheap adventure novels, and the way we look at the world is irreversibly tainted by the spectre of sex. We see sex behind everything now, from historical events to social hierarchies. We can't respect our betters anymore without a pang of uncontrollable envy; we can't envision doing any activity anymore if it's not linked to sexual reward or status...

I would accept in a heartbeat a neural implant that erases the changes in my brain brought about by puberty.

this is why nofap is so important; to restore those dopamine receptors and find a childlike enjoyment in life.

In my experience, nofap helps a bit but does not, by any means, restore fully your childhood state.

I did look at girls in a sexual way before puberty. Most boys did.

I was already contemplating why girls weren't interested in me when I was 5 or 6.

Isn't there like drugs or something for this?

You could always take SSRIs to kill your libido.

The happiest person alive is a child playing pokemon, reading any kind of book or even just running through a field completely carefree and unworried. There is no happiness or joy in adulthood that even comes close to that I found. A rich good-looking hedonist can drink, fuck and get high all he wants but will never attain that level of bliss.

No. I played Pokemon as a kid but even I knew those things were just distractions.

You were obsessing over keeping your cards neat and clean while Chad was already kissing girls.

I was talking about the games actually but whatever it doesn't matter. You didn't need pokemon or anything at all, you could play 2 sticks and a rock for all it matters. Finding different ways to have fun was part of the beauty of childhood. There were no distractions because there was nothing to worry or think about. I'm talking about pre-puberty too so like OP said girls were just friends or had cookies/cancer/aids and were ignored.

Nofap is cope, OP speaks the truth but it was over from the very moment puberty was completed. You can't amuse yourself as easily as a child if you're already an adult, fapping does increase your dopamine dysfunction but it's not that much of a game change.

I only started fapping at 19 (had phimosis and it hurt to fap before that) and even as a fapless 19yo I only thought about girls and was already unable to enjoy childish things that were my world before puberty.

Alternative universes hang on conditional verbs... If only.
