I can't stop watching gay porn of men solo masturbations

will power is not a muscle, it won't get bigger and stronger the more you exercise it. that's just an illusion that dumb people make up to convince themselves that suffering and privation have a purpose and are actually making them stronger
if you want to be a revolutionary try engaging with class politics and then you will become a revolutionary. the type of media that you consume is irrelevant. this is like asking "what brand of detergent should I buy if I want to be a revolutionary"

When you exercise willpower to overcome laziness or discomfort the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is rewired to activate more easily and communicates with other brain regions more effectively. So yeah, willpower can be trained like a muscle.

Willpower is genetic and some people have better willpower than others. And thats okay. Because people with better willpower tend to be narcissists with nothing to lose.

Neuroplasticity is real but its not as strong as people make it out to be, otherwise we wont have people who relapsed after fasting or stopped exercising after doing it regularly for months
What you need to do is to stop yourself from actively thinking that you are depriving yourself. If you stop watching porn tout court you will feel that you are punished and is bound to relapse. If you do an interconnected routine, i.e i will not watch porn before i complete an assignment, instead of depriving yourself your brain is adapting to a new routine instead

true. its a lot more stable to depend on a routine than raw willpower

>Honestly if you think about it it's such a disgusting habit.
So is taking a shit but both are natural.

I'm straight but this is based. Solo porn is exclusively for high autism score people.

I jerk off mostly to hot men masturbating or to hot buff men kissing licking each other and giving bjs, I don't like anything else

>a true revolutionary should have discipline and self control.
Personal choice doesn't exist at scale so that line of thought is idealism.
>Honestly if you think about it it's such a disgusting habit.
Reactionary brainworms, cut that out. Unsuppressed disgust inhibits materialist thought, don't give thinktanks that bargaining chip.
>I tend to be in autopilot mode 24/7 but lately I've been trying to be more in the present time, and I'm more aware of this
You might've been dehydrated / not resupplying protein after excessive masturbation.

However, discipline does enable you to do stuff without getting distracted, and refraining from something is a good way to practice that.
I recently:
- deleted the browser and fedilab from my phone to force myself to use my desktop if I wanna use the internet.
- Started journaling so whenever I wanna search for something I take note to look it up later instead of going to my desk immediately.
- Started using Focus Mode on my phone to make games unavailable except in the evening, and bedtime mode to greyscale when it's night, discouraging games from eating up sleep time.

Semi-unrelated to discipline but I've been trying to use stickers in said journal after realizing the reason I don't use them is I lowkey thought they were cringe, which is reactionary, so forcing myself to use at least one sticker per page helps erode that internalized cringe culture.

Porn really can and does fuck up your sexuality and your expectations for sex and relationships. I don't think it's uniquely bad though or some kind of Biblical evil, shit like scrolling and vidya also rot brains in other ways. The problem isn't just porn but digital content in general being overstimulating. Anyways, yeah, you should avoid it as much as possible.

Even then a big part of it is you're going to a booru and getting hit with 100 TB of NTR clown guro instead of occasionally stumbling on an artist's gallery and subbing to their RSS feed.

It's a mental hygiene thing. Don't overload the throughput, be careful what you throughput.
