we don’t have enough high-status men to enforce sensible standards on it
I dunno if “enforcement” is the most compassionate approach. Personally, the most effective way I’ve found to counter negative attitudes towards women is to have positive social and romantic interactions with them… applying self-control can prevent me from expressing my resentment, but it doesn’t seem to fix the resentment itself. Maybe we could have compassion for sexually inexperienced guys (being a male virgin can really suck, although I suspect men contribute to this fact more than women do) and try to help them overcome their problem (e.g. this has been really useful for me).
From a cursory glance, that appears to be about overcoming porn addiction, which is not exactly the same issue (for example, I very seldom watch porn but I’m still involuntarily celibate, and I bet there are plenty of people who watch lots of it while in relationships); am i missing something, and if so can you link to somewhere more specific that the front page of the site?

Sure, sorry. This may prove useful: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cupids-poisoned-arrow/201001/was-the-cowardly-lion-just-masturbating-too-much
http://www.reddit.com/r/nofap has lots of reports of men quitting porn + masturbation and experiencing increased confidence.
Okay, thanks.
