He's describing goon sessions which really are tremendous imaginative feats. No wonder he wrote fairy books
>And this harem, once admitted, works against his ever getting out and really uniting with a real woman. For the harem is always accessible, always subservient, calls for no sacrifice or adjustments, and can be endowed with erotic and psychological attractions which no real woman can rival.
I don't get the reasoning. If I have sexual desires and try to enact them in the real world, the result isn't automatically going to be positive. More likely, I'll get some girl involved in a situationship and then get bored.
Of imagination:
>But it has also a bad use: to provide for us, in shadowy form, a substitute for virtues, successes, distinctions, et cetera which ought to be sought outside in the real world — e.g., picturing all I’d do if I were rich instead of earning and saving.
So not only should we chase the whore, but also mammon.
I feel like carnal desires and sexual love operate on a totally different plane so stopping "the real evil of masturbation" isn't necessary going to lead to sexual love. Most nofappers just encourage sexual contact (less risky now with no venereal disease)
