STOP GOONING
There are a lot of gooncels in the forum, and a lot more misinformation that gooning doesn't affect your looks/ascension. That's bullshit, gooning is one of the worst things you could do as a man, and its literally a looksmin.
Gooning isn’t just “horny behavior,” it’s literally chronically overstimulating your dopamine. Prolonged porn + edging floods the brain with dopamine, causing receptor downregulation. The result is lower baseline motivation, anhedonia, and weaker drive for your ascension goals.
Biochemically, it also:
The Effects?
Your brain gets trained to seek instant stimulation over effort, which fucks you up bad.
If you want to actually Ascend you need:
Gooning doesnt help with any of that. It's a conspiracy by society to keep men weak, modern porn is engineered for maximum engagement by abusing dopamine science (infinite novelty, variable rewards, escalation), and young boys (like I was) are exposed during critical developmental windows when impulse control and motivation circuits are still forming. It literally conditions their brains to expect reward without effort and relief without achievement, leading to dopamine downregulation, weaker prefrontal control, lower drive, and higher distractibility. It's made because men in that state are easier to monetize, less likely to build power or community, and more dependent on constant stimulation. It's ridiculous, the behavior is normalized as “harmless,” while restraint is framed as repression, so the damage is individualized and invisible.
I recently stopped around 2 weeks ago, now I actually have the energy to get out of bed every morning, you feel better, stronger, and your mental is so much clearer when you stop.
Control the stimulus, reclaim the drive, stop gooning.

Biochemically, it also:
- Suppresses prefrontal cortex function: less impulse control and discipline
- Exploits the Coolidge effect: novelty addiction and escalation
- Spikes prolactin and crashes dopamine: fatigue, brain fog, low drive
- Disrupts stress hormones (higher cortisol): worse recovery and focus
The Effects?
Your brain gets trained to seek instant stimulation over effort, which fucks you up bad.
If you want to actually Ascend you need:
- Stable dopamine
- Strong executive control
- Delayed gratification
- Energy and clarity
