RIP Gary Wilson

Just a quick note to relay the sad news that Gary Wilson has died. He was the founder of the nofap movement, not a male sexualist per se but a public health advocate who helped millions of men including myself understand that porn/masturbation is bad for us. I consider nofap to be the self-help branch of male sexualism and have incorporated it into our ideology. Thanks for making our philosophy complete, Gary.

The press release from YourBrainOnPorn.com:

ASHLAND, OREGON: May 21, 2021: After years of battling chronic illness, public health advocate Gary Wilson passed away on May 20, 2021.

Gary Bruce Wilson is the author of the best-selling book Your Brain On Porn: Internet Pornography and the Emerging Science of Addiction*,* presenter of the immensely popular TEDx talk “The Great Porn Experiment” (14+ million views), and creator of the website YourBrainOnPorn.com, a clearinghouse for the latest research, media, and self-reports on pornography’s effects and potential harms.

Gary Wilson is survived by his wife, Marnia Robinson, his son, Arion Sprague, and his canine companion, Smokey. He was born in Seattle, Washington, and resided in Ashland, Oregon. In his personal life, Wilson was a wonderful husband, father, and friend, and he was loved by many.

Gary Wilson taught human pathology, anatomy, and physiology for years and has long been interested in the neurochemistry of addiction, mating, and bonding. Wilson possessed a gift for teaching, a passion for compiling information, and an unwavering desire to help others. After he noticed many young people online experiencing adverse effects associated with excessive porn use, he created YourBrainOnPorn.com in late 2010. Since the corresponding book was first published in 2014, Your Brain on Porn has been translated into Arabic, Dutch, German, Hungarian, Japanese, and Russian. In 2016, Wilson co-authored an academic paper with seven US Navy doctors entitled “Is Internet Pornography Causing Sexual Dysfunctions? A Review with Clinical Reports” and another journal article entitled “Eliminate Chronic Internet Pornography Use to Reveal Its Effects.” Gary Wilson’s tireless work in cataloging the research surrounding the effects of porn use touched countless lives worldwide.

Gary Wilson cannot be replicated or replaced, but his legacy will live on through the enormous impact that he had. He successfully pushed for more research on pornography to be conducted, gave a voice to people silently struggling with excessive porn use, and raised awareness about porn addiction to millions.

Borges should have written a sequel to "The Library of Babel" where child porn hunters have to spend eternity in futile book burning. Now, that would be a proper hell for antis!

Meanwhile we can enjoy the original here:

"I repeat: In order for a book to exist, it is sufficient that it be possible."

The same goes for indecent images. Why don't we take a clue from Borges, if nothing else will suffice.

Reading this story, and in light of what I said in my previous two comments, I cannot help but conjure up indecent images in my head -- ASCII encoded, which I am forced to mentally decode as per these instructions. EVEN RIGHT THERE IN THE FUCKING SHORT STORY which is in every library in even this world. Either we need to ramp up the persecution so this is covered too or snap out of it.

"Methodical composition distracts me from the present condition of humanity. The certainty that everything has already been written annuls us, or renders us phantasmal. I know districts in which the young people prostrate themselves before books and like savages kiss their pages, though they cannot read a letter. Epidemics, heretical discords, pilgrimages that inevitably degenerate into brigandage have decimated the population. I believe I mentioned the suicides, which are more and more frequent every year. I am perhaps misled by old age and fear, but I suspect that the human species -- the only species -- teeters at the verge of extinction, yet that the Library -- enlightened, solitary, infinite, perfectly unmoving, armed with precious volumes, pointless, incorruptible, and secret -- will endure."

The podcaster Thaddeus Russel said on twitter there are plenty of relationships with 13 year olds that are harmless, and now he's under fire. I tweeted a bit, defending him, under one of his posts. I'm telling you guys. We need to form a male sexualist alliance, and raid twitter with burner accounts to defend guys that come under fire from this. ORGANIZE.

Eivind Berge said...

I see, Thaddeus Russell made some good points about age of consent and got the usual hate for it.

@ThaddeusRussell
Since yesterday afternoon I have received hundreds of open death threats on Twitter.

Why?

I called into question the age of consent laws in the United States, which are far higher than in all the countries in Europe.

My argument is here:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/polanski-and-the-debate-about-the-age-of-concent

Holy shit, this shows some mad antisex bigotry among very young women that calls into question the old hags theory:

"My students were willing to discuss the appropriateness of the 16-18 range, but were resolutely opposed to going any lower. One said she was so disturbed by the Spanish law that she was reconsidering spending her study year abroad in Barcelona."

amelio said...

And finally that there is no difference between men or women having sex with them."

But why on earth should there be a difference ??? It's just that we are used to the pussy pass. Women get it as long as they are not seen as aiders and abetters of male sex crimes. In these cases women are just acting like males corrupting (the myth of )innocent teens, they jeopardise the narrative and must then suffer and perish.

Eivind Berge said...

This visceral hatred of sexuality that the bigots clearly feel, how is it possible, where does it come from? I can understand not wanting to go to a country because the laws are too oppressive, but too lenient? On consensual relations that can't possibly hurt you? How is it possible to be so disturbed by that? Jealousy is an explicable feeling, but now we're talking about college students, women who can't be more than 18-20 themselves, still at the peak of their sexual power.

It is the behemoth, indeed. We don't have good terms to explain such a phenomenon, which is simply so insane that it defies further explanation.

amelio said...

"women who can't be more than 18-20 themselves, still at the peak of their sexual power."

18/20 yo or younger are not necessarily attractive, most of them are plain or overweight.
All have been fed with the "culture of rape" narrative ever since they were born...

amelio said...

"One said she was so disturbed by the Spanish law that she was reconsidering spending her study year abroad in Barcelona."

Out of date. The AOC in Spain is now 16.

Eivind Berge said...

Amelio, the difference is in the value exchange. Apart from considerations of consent, female sexuality has tremendous inherent value that male sexuality does not. This is why boys feel so lucky and why it is a greater travesty to criminalize women for being so nice to them. A teenage girl can feel perfectly fine that she is giving herself to an older man and have a beautiful loving relationship, but it lacks that dimension that she is lucky. Neither should be punished, but the woman is more than innocent and over in the heroine category that deserves a medal for her charitable contribution to humanity.

Eivind Berge said...

"18/20 yo or younger are not necessarily attractive, most of them are plain or overweight."

I disagree with this as well. All college age women are extremely attractive. Yes, some of them will be judged unfavorably by a small number of very picky men, but not enough to make a dent in their power. Feeling jealous of younger girls just doesn't enter into it yet and we need to look for other explanations. Yes, the brainwashing with "rape culture" is big, but can't fully explain this visceral feeling either that motivates the sincere desire to destroy men's lives and intolerance for countries that don't. Americans are also exposed to propaganda about drugs and alcohol, but you don't ever hear of young people who are afraid to go to Europe because we let 18-year-olds drink. What is the difference?

Could be because all the bigots gather on Twitter, as they are the only ones that face no risk to be banned.

Chris hansen has another warrant for his arrest. Cheated on his wife with a girl 20 years younger than him, fired, sued, arrested, and now about to be arrested again. A paedocrites fate. Imagine a cheater making a group called "perverted justice". Oh the irony.

Good hit piece on chris hansen.

Eivind Berge said...

Yeah, Chris Hansen is a scumbag and I hope this ends badly for him. Some more on the new arrest here:

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/catch-predator-host-chris-hansen-190601735.html

Apparently he had faked evidence of a sting he was doing to entrap men (which is entirely fake to begin with, of course), and is refusing to turn over the whole video so the victim can defend himself. Imagine being backed by an entire civilizational witch-hunt against male sexuality and still he fucked up.
