I believe if you want something you have to give it everything you have. I didn\u2019t see any point in even flirting with the idea of speaking to a girl because it would distract me from my goal. \u2014 FaZe Censor (@Censor) April 2, 2019 The Star\u2019s article contained a statement from San Diego State University psychology professor Jean Twenge, who claimed that men under 30 could be abstaining from sex due to \u201cstreaming video, social media, console games.\u201d \u201c[There are] more things to do at 10 o\u2019clock at night than there were 20 years ago,\u201d Twenge said of the development. https:\/\/www.callofduty.com\/esports\/story\/2015-12\/call-of-duty-world-league-everything-you-need-to-knowShe likewise noted a potential cause for this decrease in sex could be that many millennials don\u2019t have a live-in partner. The Star included data from The Washington Post that showed 28% of young men have abstained for a year. Censor infamously broke things off with his girlfriend, Mexican weathercaster and model Yanet Garcia, in summer of 2018 to focus on Call of Duty; however, Censor later put off competitive gaming in favor of content creation, now uploading videos to YouTube and streaming on Twitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former CoD pro Censor \u201cglad\u201d he prioritized gaming over getting laid Censor, YouTube \/ ShutterstockDoug \u2018Censor\u2019 Martin made waves after breaking up with his girlfriend to focus on competitive Call of Duty in 2018 \u2013 and he\u2019s following up the split with a major statement on the matter.
