Fuck, I just don't know what to do, /adv/. I'm still not religious in the slightest. I don't do anything religion-oriented, and only believe a fraction of what I did 8 years ago. But I cannot fucking shake the feel that if I fap, it'll go up in flames. I know that if I fap and it all explodes in my face, it's going to give that part of me that's worried hella confirmation bias

>and it all explodes in my face
Heh. Word choice. brb an heroing
Ffs, your fapping has nothing to do with it. The fact that you probably are a nutjob is a far greater possibility. Maybe you also avt differently when you fap because of the guilt and that turns them away. What exactly is so un-ethnical about fapping? Wasting one's seed? Touching oneself? Having impure thoughts? What is it that bothers you?
Next relationship don't stop fapping and see what happens. Maybe you'll be pleasently surprised. . .

I don't fucking know. This is why I fucking hate organized religion. They drill this shit into the heads of kids because "it's bad and evil" and eight years later, even though I logically know that there's nothing wrong with it ethically, morally, and everything, I still feel this apprehension towards doing it when I'm interested in a girl.
I fucking hate it, but I don't know what to do about it.
>>17375009
But as far as I know, I don't /think/ it affects my behavior. If anything, it makes me less likely to make sexual references or advances
>>17375011
The problem is that, it's more likely than not that the relationship won't work out. Even though I KNOW that it doesn't have an affect, confirmation bias is a hell of a drug
>>17375002
The solution is simple my dear OP...
Fap thinking about god.
He'll eventually break up with you and leave you alone.
