I (32m) started seeing prostitutes when I was 20 and have done it on and off up to my current age. I find the lack of sexual and emotional connection lures me into to seeing them even when I say I’m going to stop. Whenever I am doing decent financially I end up going back to seeing them. I try to be a spiritual person and read the bible and not lust over women but it can be a struggle and mental battle. Does anyone else have this same bad habit?

    Because ethics, compassion, love, etc aren’t dependant on religion, they’re basic human values.

        Instinct. Which is a pretty word to say “évolution etched this in our brain as moral people tend to survive longer”

          Looking after your grandmother doesn’t benefit humanity. In fact, looking after the old would negatively impact humanity as it’s basically a waste of resources.

            Haha, when you’re married and lost for a babysitter you’ll change your mind, when you want recipes, stories about your parents, and a million other things besides their love, caring… but if you miss out on that or don’t value it your life will be poorer for it, no matter how much money you have in the bank.

            Looking after your grandmother means you look after people in general, in hope that people will look after you. This is social animal 101
