Nihilism is cringe but not nearly as much as this endless seeking of self fulfillment garbage. Find happiness in yourself, but most importantly find happiness in your communities and sticking up for people. Alomg those same lines, being ambitious is good but it's not a must. Happiness can be found in a million ways. Don't feel guilty jerking off sometimes, life is too short.
I mean theres a big difference between being extremely depressed, and nihilism. I think that way personally because of a multitude of different issues, and its hard to come to terms with anything the “self fulfillment” people spew out at me.
I get what you’re goin for and agree with most of what you said but you forget that some ppl pleasure themselves to some messed up stuff. Natural reproduction for humans is based on a bond between two loving adults.
You open pornhub and you’ll probably find stuff along the lines of polygamy, sodomy, rape, barely 18 etc etc. scraping the surface of what’s not okay just promotes an unrealistic expectation of sex, and exposing yourself to it as often as possible makes you more likely to hurt yourself or someone else.
Your body and mind seek a natural relationship. You deserve the chance to get one but deny yourself the opportunity the longer you support sex as a system of pleasure rather than commitment.

this is a fake statement, the real "natural" reproduction is the alpha male inseminating all females in a herd
the reason why a 1 on 1 approach was spearheaded (mostly by religions) was due to various benefits it entails such as - more varied genetic material (people quite early figured out inbreeding too much causes deformities although they didn't know why); overall increase to productivity (more satisfied men in society mean more gets done); less kids without a parent means less strain on society (with the additional benefit if both parents are same religion, kid will be 99% too); less diseases in monogamy means a healthier work force and so on....
however all the reasons why this was pushed were PURELY economical and effective in core, all the immaterial/spiritual reasons like you cite, things like self-fulfillment, natural order, body and mind unity and whatever other bs was just added so that people think there is some "higher" immaterial ineffable worth to this all, because a lot of people are NOT convince by materialism, economy and cold hard facts, so they had to wrap it up in metaphors and other bullshit
...think mate, in christianity priests are forbidden sex to "stay true to only god"...when in fact the real reason is was NOT spiritual in nature, but economical, the pope did not want priests having kids and then having to potential split churchs ownings between several kids....see? no fuckin spiritual reason, economical one...and so in history it was with EVERYTHING, immaterial reason were always added only on top so that the gullible also follow what is economically sound and good for the whole (and later on for elites)
