You travel back in time...

"Don't spend all your lottery winnings on it!"

 

Would our past selves even listen? Some people have to learn the hard way.

 

Drugs don't enhance anything...

 

That's a very good point. When I started using porn at the age of 16, I wasn't inclined to listen to very many people.

That said, I avoided drugs and alcohol, so at some point in the past I obviously listened to something. I'd probably tell my former self that it really wasn't that different to doing drugs. It's just as likely to form an addiction, and potentially just as harmful. I'd also go back to my 20 year old self, just at the time I was starting to get into health and fitness, and tell my old self that PMO is really incompatible with health and fitness.

 

Put everything you own into Bitcoin, and dont jack off or watch porn

 

Dont watch Boku no Pico

 

Nothing. I would spend my time talking to my past self about my hopes, dreams, and interests. That would be way more profitable than telling me to stay away from p&m.

 

When we were younger we were not stupid. It takes an idiot to do what they are told all the time without questioning it. We are smart, that is why we are here.

With this reasoning, none of our younger selves would listen to "don't do X". Our younger self would say "why." Then it becomes jusf another conversation with an authoritative figure that dismisses returned questions.

Encouragement would be a better path. I would tell my younger self to pursue his passions. That is the only chance people have at happiness.

 

If I'd travel back in time(to 2008), I'd tell myself the following:
Dude, you are now 16. Now is the rght time for you to form healthy habits. Like going out and meeting like minded folks, learning stuff like coding/swimming/arts anything that you will be proud of. Spend more time outside than in your F room all by yourself. I know you are not going to listen to me, but please try to workout regularly, for crying out loud.

 

I would go back with some porn and start jerking off in front of my past self. If my past self got mad and disgusted I would tell him to never forget what he saw. Then I would slowly leave the room while continuing to jerk, never breaking eye contact even for a moment.

 

I shouldn't have watched it in the first place

 

If someone tells you not to do something, and they don't say why, and you do it, and there are no immediate repercussions, why would you stop? That is what goes through any smart person's minds. The argument "I am older and therefore wiser" doesn't invalidate all other approaches.

Don't be a sheep, getting stepped on and blindly doing as you are told. It is good to question things....that's what smart people do.

 

I would tell myself to never fap and how detrimental it is to the mind and body.

 

I would have told myself that pmo would have destroyed me in all ways, and would have affected my ability to feel comfortable around women.
