This is some deep-incel logic, tbh. Nothing will replace the value and sensation of human contact, of being with another living, breathing, vulnerable person. Not unless we get really convincing AI and robots one day. All good things in life carry risk, and I can’t imagine being so afraid of existence as to deny yourself pleasure simply because you’re afraid of rejection (which is part of life and makes you stronger), disease (which you can mitigate through safety) or whatever else.

Edit: Why did I scroll up to the responses above? Why? Save yourself if you can.

this is why the number one suspect in a murder is always the spouse

people kill because of jealously and attachment in one form of another

People commit suicide because their significant other leaves them.

there's nothing more freeing than letting go of all those chains and having the power to make yourself happy without being dependent upon others

This is the only way to avoid Inevitable homicides/suicides that originated from human attachment

you'll be making that face behind a prison cell after you've caught big dikk willy in bed with your wife

I declare the contemporary tools available an insufficient replacement.

We are at the soy burger stage (at best), we haven't reached impossible burger yet nor something better.

Bring on the droids or the matrix jack ins.
There is nothing quite like the mix of oxytocin and dopamine (and whatever else happens in the brain) after real intimacy.

If that's possible. I certainly have not. All I know is that porn and masturbation did not make me happy.

people kill because of jealously and attachment in one form of another for a variety of reasons.

People commit suicide because their significant other leaves them. because they are depressed.

there's nothing more freeing than letting go of all those chains and having the power to make yourself happy without being dependent upon others Being alone doesn’t mean you’re suddenly happy

This is the only way to avoid Inevitable homicides/suicides that originated from human attachment This is bizarrely morbid and has no basis in reality.

Being a psychopath is mutually exclusive from being a sexually active human being. In fact, it’s not uncommon for sexual predators and killers to have had some kind of social/ anti-social disorder. Not sure how you think abstaining from healthy human contact makes you less susceptible to loneliness or sexual frustration either—it just masks the problem and probably allows it to fester into something truly grotesque.

I'm a decently good looking guy, not exactly Brad Pitt but I'm not actively repellant to look at. I'm pretty tall, physically able, I'd say I'm a solid 7. Even so, I'm very sensitive to rejection and don't like to ever put myself in the position to be rejected by a woman. I can understand the idea that it's safer and more convenient to just make use of the internet to fulfill those needs but that don't get you anywhere near the satisfaction or progress as a person that you're going to get from a real romantic relationship.

I was lucky enough to find a good woman who loves me for who I am, but if I hadn't I could easily see becoming extremely jaded and start coming up with reasons why I actually prefer it that way. OP, if you are happy with your state of affairs then why bring it here and make the argument? It seems to me you've had enough of rejection and so you've built a wall around yourself. I can understand the feeling, but it's not gonna get better with time and Spock-like rationalizations.

I don't want to criticize your feelings, I think they're totally legit, but I don't think going down that path will lead to anything greater in your life. As has been said you gotta take risks to reap the rewards.

I worry about this community sometimes.
