What? That has nothing to do with TV. It has everything to do with your apparent lack of self control. If I spend 45 minutes watching TV or 45 minutes playing with myself, what's the difference? They're both time that I could spend doing other things.

edit: And I never just watch TV anyway, I'm always doing something else, like coding or reading HN or looking at code on GitHub.

I do have self-control, at least regarding TV. That's why I don't watch it at all. (I do have a television, it is gathering dust in a cupboard.)

It is quite easy -- and millions of people do it -- to spend an entire evening watching TV. I dunno about you, but I have never spent 5 hours non-stop masturbating :-). So the one activity is self-limiting, but the other isn't.
