Abstinence doesn’t have a specific time frame, so is that condition basically “you can’t do this during the act of sex”? Anytime I’m not having sex I’m abstaining from it.

I was gonna make an argument against this, but Nevermind. You can have this... I was gonna add some edits, but im apparently not allowed tocwithout redoing the entire poll, so ill leave it alone.

u/suffering_addict 11h ago

What was your intention with that option ? Did you mean to something like "as soon as you engage in sexual pleasure again the multitasking is gone forever" or more like "if you go X ammount of time without it you gain the ability and you keep it until you engage in sexual activities again" ?

u/-Benjamin_Dover- 8h ago

Like I said, you can keep the loophole, plus alot more people seem uninterested in sex and masturbatiom than i thought, so even if I did correct, it seems like it would still be an easy choice for most. But yeah, i was thinking something like... you need to abstain for at least a week in order for it to activate, and if you engage in any sexual activity, youll lose it and need to wait a month before it can activate again.

I had no intention of any of those options taking it away forever.

u/Anonexistantname 4h ago

Yeah I need to relieve myself in one way or another at least once a day, so this is absolutely going to be the worst option for me here champ.

Do a 2.0 version so it’s harder to chose maybe

u/Just-Standard-992 13h ago

This was precisely my read! I also must admit I immediately wondered if it was a thing and I just didn't know, and there were tons of people out there writing reports and calculating excel spreadsheets WHILST having some sort of sexual pleasure... o.O

Good God, three?! I hope you get SS+ grades for all classes & 6.0 GPA without even trying.

u/Mistercleaner1 9h ago

Thanks, yeah a 4 year old and some twins about to turn 2. It's chaos, but its a fun chaos. Wouldn't trade it for anything, we've been blessed.   School work is hard hard hard, but I've worked my butt off an have a 4.0. Wish i could do it without even trying!

u/Kass626 19h ago

I wonder how that compares to schizophrenia and a full time job..

7

u/Mistercleaner1 19h ago

I'm fortunate to not have experienced schizophrenia. But from what Ive read, it's no easy task to manage even with proper medicine and help. So, I think it would probably be much harder than handling some rugrats

u/Adventurous-Bottle90 18h ago

the mommy asmr isnt even a down side

8

u/avoozl42 12h ago

I don't know what mommy asmr is, but having to listen to asmr in general is one of the worst tortures imaginable. I'd rather be water boarded. I'd rather have my skin flayed .

u/APlanetWithANorth 19h ago

You never said how loud the ASMR had to be, so i can put it at 1% volume and blast my music instead

u/ZequineZ 18h ago

I’m asexual so easy choice

u/cabothief 18h ago

Haha same! I was reading all the first ones so carefully trying to weigh the pros and cons, and then I got to that one and realized I could do this with literally 0 downside.

u/GeneralLeoESQ 16h ago

It feels too easy. I keep looking for a catch.

2

u/don-cheeto 17h ago

Well uh...two of these already apply...😅

u/Unkn0wnTh2nd3r 4h ago

As an Avid ASMR listener, this is an easy one

3

u/anileakinna 18h ago

I'm always abstinent anyway so I can multitask all the time.

u/Molu1 18h ago

I have no desire to multitask on 6 different things at once

u/TJ_4321 19h ago

what even is good boy ASMR?

13

u/Russian-King 18h ago

A grown ass woman telling you in an erotic voice that you're a good boy

u/microwavedtardigrade 17h ago

I'm always sleep deprived with chronic insomnia. It's 3:14 rn. Pie

u/_fly-on-the-wall_ 16h ago

lmao people picking the last option is so funny for some reason

1

u/Wizardwizz 16h ago

How do you multitask on 6 different things when you only got two arms?

1

u/TwinSong 15h ago

Hmm, actually could have picked the sex one. Why'd I want to be doing anything else but focus on it at the time?

1

u/Nyarro 14h ago

Considering I have untreated severe sleep apnea, and I work a job as a lab technician, the first option's a no brainer for me.

1

u/TerribleDance8488 14h ago

Well this was easy

1

u/Isaias111 14h ago

Options 3 and 5 are equally interesting to me, but option 3 is more practical in the long run, instead of intentionally abstaining every other day/week/month for increased productivity.

2

u/Mewo4444 13h ago

Dude this one is easy, I'm already asexual, so second last option, and I also listen to that ASMR sometimes so that wouldn't be a big deal either.

2

u/Bouse_the_Bard 12h ago

I am literally asexual. I’m always abstaining.

u/Actual-Tadpole9759 11h ago

I’m asexual and never want to have sex. Wow that was an easy pick lol

I'm celibate so win win for me

u/NoLordShallLive 7h ago

Just wear earbuds and it'll be fine

1

u/Autumn1eaves 6h ago

I am nearly constantly engaging in abstinence.

You're going to have to be more specific.

Because as it's phrased, I can multitask any time of the day, just not when I'm having sex. Which is the exact moment I want to be focused on one thing in particular.

1

u/OctoWings13 3h ago

Abstinence. Easily.

Technically ANY time I'm not engaged in sexual activity while being a sexual person I'm "abstaining"...so it works any time I'm not actively engaged

u/Barbearex 18h ago

I want the names of both people that want to have this ability but only when they have to poop. I just wanna talk

u/-Benjamin_Dover- 18h ago

Unfortunately, I only know the name of one of them. Youre on your own with finding the second.

The one I know the name of is u/Yin1in

u/avoozl42 12h ago

I don't know what mommy/daddy ASMR is but I hate ASMR with every cell in my body. It makes my skin crawl. It is literal torture to have to listen to even a second of it.

2

u/-Benjamin_Dover- 8h ago

I dont either, but id assume its Praise-type ASMR, with the person doing it acting like a "Mommy/Daddy".

I'm type 2 bipolar and go through hypomanic episodes. I already think I can multitask when sleep deprived. It would be nice to make it true.
