Man Announces His 'Retirement' From Pornhub Because He's Found Love


A person who was surfing adult website Pornhub has left a heartfelt - and actually quite wholesome - message to his fellow surfers explaining why he'll no longer be logging on to get his kicks.

Simply put, the man - even in this age of not assuming anyone's gender, it seems safe to assume it's a man - has finally found love and now doesn't want to get involved with that sort of stuff online any longer.

The user, who goes by the name Liljdub, wrote the emotional message down in the comments below one video or other on the adult site.

We don't know exactly what the content of that video was, but the message read: "Boys, I am not here to watch, but to announce my retirement.

"I have officially found the one person that is right for me."

"She is brilliant, beautiful, and loyal. Every day I wake up and realise how happy she makes me.

"The reason I am done watching porn is because it feels wrong, almost as if I am cheating.

"I hope one day you guys that are reading this find the same thing I have and I know you all will miss me and I will miss you."

He concluded: "Liljdub signing off."

The post was then shared on Twitter, where it has been liked nearly 400,000 times and retweeted more than 60,000 times.

It's done numbers, basically.

Among those who've commented, there have been some who have supported his decision and others who have mocked it.

One person commented: "Wish my bf was like this. I hate that we normalise watching porn in relationships."

Another wrote: "At ease soldier, every day we lose a good one to love, but everyday I am reminded of hope."

However, one person - probably reading slightly too far into what is quite an obvious joke - wrote: "IDK i feel like abstaining from pr0n [sic] and all that while in a relationship isn't a great option, it's basically saying to your partner 'okay now you're responsible for all my sexual needs' and that's an unfair expectation to put on them."

Righto, but you get that it's all a big joke, don't you?

Anyway, we'll just have to check back in to see how Liljdub gets on in his relationship, or if he returns to the world of online kicks before too long.

Either way, he's managed to get a laugh out of the internet, and isn't that really all that matters in the end?
 
I've been single for a while now. I'm as picky as the women I desire, so I haven't had a relationship last for a good handful of years now. Lots of hookups where I or the other person are no longer interested the next day.

I see a comment like this and I feel happy for him, but more so jealous and sad. So I stick around for comments like DeepEnigma's, which remind me that love is always fleeting, and even with the relationships that did last, I wanted out about half the time, once the honeymoon was over.
The love meme is there to rope you in. Relationships hold when there is practical utility for both parties.

I don't think it's healthy (mentally) to do that hookup culture thing, better to spend time improving yourself, that's the true way to motivate women to attach themselves to you, if that's a thing you desire.

You sound like a very romantic person!

Wish I had a girl with "practical utility". Your Valentines Day cards must be the stuff of heroes if you get laid after.

Hookups are fine, not everyone you meet/date works out anyway. Sounds like you haven't had much success.

Lol practical utility does sound like something a serial killer would say

Is practical utility just another name for a lady garden.

For example

"Hay baby, send me a pic of your practical utility"

Well you would need a hedge-trimmer for the bush in a ladies/mans garden. Should you be a landscaper.

You might be onto something here.

Obviously I don't participate in the group-hypnosis that is Valentine's day.

Thing is I have had success. I'm just very much dis-illusioned, and with the veil lifted, I don't like the landscape I am seeing. I don't see a worthwhile path for me in either hooking up, or marriage, or anything in between. So I will just work on me and depend on myself.

Your life, your choices. You wanna be alone because you failed, that's up to you.

Probably not a great person to give out advice to others. Nothing wrong with focusing on yourself though, will give you that.

Either an empty promise, or he's switching to XNXX or Xhamster. You could have sex every night with the best woman on the planet, and there'll still be time when you want to manual. If for no other reason than for variety's sake.

In all seriousness though quitting porn is one of the healthiest things I've ever done. I only wish I had done it sooner.

No matter how fit your bird is you'll get bored of shagging her sooner or later.

It's called discipline. If you don't have sex all the time, the desire will naturally increase and boredom won't set in as easily.

Regardless this dude has a lot to learn about relationships, especially if it's his first one. They don't always automatically last forever. That takes work, real love and commitment.

You sound mighty boring for being a "dark angel". Couples should try to have as much sex as possible, especially in the beginning.

It's nothing to do with being boring. It's everything to do with being realistic.

People can get bored with each other, especially after the initial honeymoon phase of lust. You say they 'should' try. That's pretty stupid advice. Who made you the gate keeper of all sexual relationships?

To keep things going its good to have separation. If you can always have what you want, when you want, people can get bored.

Just reality.

Sorry, you just come off as either a boring lay or a virgin.
 
One of those guys that's only fucked one woman and will only get one, playing it as a virtue.

If that's what you want to think. Well done for making assumptions on a literal stranger you don't know.

All it does is make the both of you look pretty pathetic and idiotic, seeing as you both evidently can't hold an intelligent conversation without resulting to assumptions and insults.

Idiots.

Cutting back on sex to keep it interesting sounds incredibly boring. The day a relationship gets to the point of that kind of behavior, I'm getting out of it. I'm engaged, but my fiance and I have a healthy sex life. The day either one of us gets bored, it's time to move on. That's just not healthy. Fortunately, we've found ways to keep it spicy. She's adventurous, and there's more than enough to help in that regard here in SEA.

While I disagree with you, I respect that you took the time to reply with common decency and gave me your point of view without resorting to infantile insults. Thank you.
