    A scale of Sex-related Energies (Levels -7 to +1) I attempted to make, and feedback welcome (especially if you believe I may be unaware of or missing something).

    -7 problematic porn addiction that has had huge negative impact on one’s life (an example of how bad it can get would be that one changes their gender and becomes literally like an animal pet to another)

    -6 problematic porn addiction that of course negatively impacts one’s life

    -5 though maybe not exactly an addiction, consumption of so much porn that has a significant impact on one’s everyday life

    -4 though maybe it is not understood as a clinical health problem that should be remedied, the consumption of porn (and masturbation/fapping) does significantly draws away one’s sexual/mental energies (note: “sexual” energies goes with masturbation/fapping, and “mental” energies especially goes with consumption)

    -3 porn (and fapping) harms ones sexual or mental energies as they consume it sometimes

    -2 porn (and fapping) still harms ones sexual or mental energies as they consume it occasionally

    -1 no porn consumption, but occasional masturbation (including from (just/porn in) imagination) (note: of course, one can have no porn consumption and very frequent-to-addictive masturbation, and that could be described in the levels above (or really more negative, “below”), but for the sake of clarity, we’ll simplify the assumption here)

    0 (“sea level”) - no masturbation, but occasional wet dreams

    +1 no wet dreams because the mind (and its energies) are attuned to a higher focus, like a spiritual purpose (probably can even develop special/magical power. Also the actual sexual abilities are important to note; in other words, a sexually unattractive person may not really qualify for very positive point here)

    I do find attempts to categorize and evaluate our human condition. It's helpful to me. Thanks for putting a scale--along with thoughtful definitions--to it.

    I rank myself a "-5".

    Great idea and very interesting. Iv not gone beyond minus 5. Very insightful.

    From +1 onwards, I haven't personally experienced. However, based on research that I found on here, I would add a few on the scale set out below. From the scale below, I would say I'm on Scale +1. If Original Poster wishes to edit and include my additions, feel free to do so. :)

    ____________________________________________________________

    +1 no masturbation activity and no porn consumption. Frequent to mild wet dreams and high level of sexual arousal. Frequents thoughts of masturbation and/or sexual nature. Mind can be easily triggered into thoughts of masturbation/porn when exposed to environmental situations or when contemplating. Person self control and will power is at a moderate level. Person's mind craves a pleasurable feeling from porn/masturbation causing the person to engage in activities not of a sexual nature, as a substitute to the pleasurable feeling. Caution: There could be positive / negative physical changes and there can be negative emotions too.

    +2 no masturbation activity and no porn consumption. Rare to no wet dreams and moderate levels of arousal. Rare to no thoughts of masturbation and/or sexual nature. Moderate to low levels of libido. Frequent occurrence of erections, however, person's self control and will power is high. Mind craves a pleasurable feeling from porn/masturbation at a moderate to low level. As a result, the person engages in activities not of a sexual nature, as a substitute to the pleasurable feeling. Caution: there could be positive/negative physical changes and there can be negative emotions too.

    +3 no masturbation activity and no porn consumption. High level of spiritual energy and no levels of sexual arousal. No thoughts of a sexual nature. No libido and no erections. If the person attempts to be aroused, the mind does not trigger any sexual thoughts ( flatline ). Person achieves the goal of being porn and/or masturbation free, and is generally healed from their addiction and is able to focus on other matters in life by not being distracted by porn and/or masturbation. Mild increase of confidence, physical and mental wellbeing, positivity and control amongst other personality. However, there can be negative emotions too. There could also be positive/negative physical changes.

    +4 no masturbation activity and no porn consumption. High level of spiritual energy. Moderate to high levels of sexual arousal triggered by natural triggers/activities rather than artificial triggers such as porn and / or masturbation. Person requires no effort to become aroused. The mind and brain dopamine reward pathways are fully healed and rewired, thereby, no artificial inducement of pleasure is needed. Increased sense of confidence, physical and mental wellbeing, positivity and control amongst other personality and there can be positive/negative physical changes. However, there can be negative emotions too.

    Are we qualifying wet dreams only in terms of ones leading to O or just sexual dreams in general? Because of that ambiguity I wonder if there might be a +0.5...

    -5 but mine isn’t porn. Mines masturbation. I could easily not see porn again but masturbation is a different story.

    Edit:

    porn maybe -1
    masturbation -5
     
  7. I'm most definitely addicted. I'm at a -6. I can't focus on anything anymore. I have no energy, I'm depressed all the time, and I'll use like six times a day. My longest streak was fifteen days, and that was by far the longest one. I did little two day, three day stints, but I would always end up at the beginning.
