How many times would you press it?

The current generation is being seduced and addicted by a virtual, digital world where their dreams always come true….really quickly….and painlessly.

If watching short videos on TikTok brings you to near orgasm how many should you watch each day? A thousand? Ten thousand?

If never working and living a life of leisure feels better than having to do something — every single day — you don’t really like, why should you ever work?

If, instead of watching a two or three-hour movie, you could simply fast forward to the exciting sexy, and violent scenes, why would you ever watch a full-length movie again?

If finding love is as easy as putting a decent picture of yourself on a dating app, why bother with traditional dating?

Dopamine self-manipulation

We’ve always known how to pleasure ourselves.

But prior to the internet, and widely available advanced technologies, people looking to be physically turned on by pictures — or movies depicting sex, violence, and drama — were limited to magazine stands and XXX “stores.”
