Yeah yeah, socialism and communism is good whatever… The true question is… How do I stop being so horny? This is a big problem communism and socialism will have to solve.

    Get diagnosed with depression and a prescription for antidepresants. Not only do they kill your libido, but an orgasm will take so long and be so underwhelming you feel like your junk stopped working.

    Antipsychotics are a good weapon too, you just tell a psychiatrist you have trouble falling asleep.

      Serious:

      The problem isn’t having erotic impulses, it’s having unhealthy reactions to them. Like watching porn(*). Along with the advice Mushroom gave, I suggest stop watching porn and embracing being a sexual person in a way you’re comfortable. Having partner(s) is good too. Or being solo, whatever is better for your situation.

      Unironically hating yourself for “being horny” or being embarassed by it makes it harder to care for yourself. That leaves you with no control.

      (*) There are reasons I call porn an unhealthy thing. I come from an ML and feminist perspective, not a religious or puritanical one. Read about the Communist line on the sex trade and feminism and you’ll understand where I’m coming from. Kollontai is a great place to start.

        Would you be kind enough to recommend some introductory books into Marxist Feminism? I know about Angela Davis and Kollontai, but don’t know exactly what to read.

          I took a look at c/feminism and I believe the links shared over there are very good introductions to Marxist feminism. Particularly this essay and this one. The Revleft Radio episode linked over there is also great.

          But if you’re interested in Kollontai, I was introduced to her with this book. I have found a podcast that revolves around her but I haven’t had the time to listen to it so I won’t recommend it (but I’m sure you can find it easily). I haven’t listened to the Revleft Radio about her either, so give it a listen and tell me what you think about it if you want.

          I will be honest though. I was introduced to the Communist line on pornography by the copypasta posted on r/moretankiechapo in response to any liberal takes on porn. It’s a shame I can’t find it, I was scandalized by it haha. F, r/mtc.

          P.S.: If you still have access to r/gzd I’m sure you can find some old threads about it, just ignore the liberals promoting choice feminism.
