About

Cumbrain is a slang expression used to describe a person addicted to pornography and/or masturbation, perceived to have decreased mental abilities due to being excessively focused on the sexual aspects of life. Starting in May 2019, the term gained significant popularity across a number of boards on 4chan.

Origin

While the earliest documented use of the word "cumbrain" in the sense "person addicted to pornography" can be traced to an August 2012 /co/ post,^[1] the word did not have significant popularity until May 2019.

On May 6th, 2019, an anonymous /lit/ posted the earliest known depiction of a cumbrain,^[2] with more posts containing the image appearing on the board in the following hours.

The Cunean Anonymous Fri 10 May 2019 19:25:01 No.105393228 Report r Quoted By: >>105393246 DAILY REMINDER TO QUIT P---------- AND M----------- Even becoming aroused is detrimental as it induces hypofrontality so that you cannot sit down and debate whether this opportunity to mate is a good idea, at least what your body thinks is mating. This has an evolutionary basis because if we sat around thinking about the merits of engaging in sex, then, humans may have long ago gone extinct. This isn't an endorsement of it, no the opposite! It is a sign that we need to overcome this innate limitation instead of accepting it, and the only way to succeed is to prevent it from unfolding in the first place.

It's EXACTLY what the Jews want you to do. Yes, modern women are s---. You can avoid them if you want, but replacing them with p--- is even worse. Grab a hold of yourself and don't let your cummies run your life.

But you can't change something you aren't aware of. Stop watching p--- today. You can keep fapping or whatever, you can stop doing that later. But the p--- has f----- you up. You know it's true, and you know you're addicted from the irrational anger you're feeling at having your addiction called out

Spending all your day jerking off instead of being productive probably isn't good for you, but neither is blueballing yourself and thinking this alone makes you better than the rest of us.
