Mine is porn addiction. I don't ever want to become a coomer but I think I've became that already a few times in my life. I shamefully have watched porn, saved porn images and visualized people who're probably not as into porn as I was.

I really do wish to be done with porn, it's done nothing for me. I've masturbated for many years and I feel like it has hollowed out my mind. I don't even get that much enjoyment from masturbating as much and the porn hasn't really gotten any better so I guess I can say that I've seen porn when it was at its best when I was younger and everything.

Now all of it is just loli shit, artificial shit and that's gross or the fetishes have gotten too niche and unappealing. I look around me in porn communities and I haven't found anyone worthwhile to speak to or associate with. Everyone is six feet under in porn that there's no way for them out.

Sorry to hear that one dear. I do not pretend to understand on some deeper level, but why can't you fully control blood sugar by upping mileage?

I used to calorie crash often at 400+ miles a week, or even half that many miles when I was cutting weight intentionally. At 400+ I could not increase calories to compensate. I was getting into sprouted grains and micro nutrients off the bike, and maximum simple sugar and salt while riding. Three hours minimum per day, and full time+ job was fun. I haven't legitimately hit the wall in a decade, but still have a primal dread of that feeling of no blood sugar left at all. Kinda curious in case I ever have a similar issue because 90% in bed and 5% zooming on what remains of race legs is an odd life.

Blood sugar, perhaps, but the real long-term issue is the resistant blood cells. HIIT helps wear those out faster so they're replaced with newer, hopefully less resistant ones. Exercise like cycling where you hit a stride and your heart rate plateaus isn't effective for that, is my understanding.

You can do HIIT exercises on a bike - more easily on a stationary trainer. People do it as a way to increase their FTP. I've not tried it as that kind of suffering isn't my jam. But if you love cycling and want to do HIIT, you can
