@DMT Elf no, porn addiction affects me personally. I will not say it affects everyone, im sure you can use it and be okay, but for me it doesn't workout. 

 

There are also many studies showing that it has detrimental effects on the brain.

 

Everyone has there preferences. 

 

Like if I said everyone must quit porn that would be problematic. But it's the same as saying porn is completely fine and everyone can do it! See what I mean?

@Rose anything really, but I was upset from you being like oh my god this is mental! You're so entitled! 

 

I'm not looking to be right in this so I don't care and it's all good. But I was just triggered. 

It is mental, and it is not ok. But it’s ok being mental and not being ok.

I think too much is being made from it honestly.  The power of suggestion these narratives have can be internalized in weird ways to make you believe you have a problem you don't really have.  I misdiagnosed myself as an alcoholic and quit drinking for years, only to realize I was masking a larger problem.

I see what you're saying, and I'm taking a break from porn to address deeper rooted trauma and also I just prefer in person sex.

I really want to know - what kind of replies did you expect under this threat? What kind of replies would be helpful to you? 

I think it's good that he isn't trying to hide it though and that he does recognize it as a problem. It's scary but these days a lot of young guys have this same attitude but don't see it as a problem whatsoever.

Yea! I could easily act like I'm a super feminist supporter but no, I'm gonna say how I really feel because that's how I become free from those beliefs, by throwing them up into the toilet.

Lol I'm pretty sure everybody prefers having sex to watching porn.  Definitely not a bad thing to take a break from anything like that, as long as it's not avoidant in a neurotic way.  Careful about the "no fap" thing though...I think that whole narrative is pretty toxic too.  I think if you can please yourself that way without the assistance of porn that could also be very healthy.

@DMT Elf also, I'm all for free sexual expression, it's just the method of expression that i have preferences for, i prefer sexual expression with a girlfriend.

Then why were you out that night when you crashed your car if that's your preference? Girlfriend type you're wanting could care less about porn, that she really might though.

That's my preference now 😌. I was a different man then.

Oh no worries, this is more of a "me" thing, I don't associate with the nofap movement and I agree it's pretty neurotic. I'm not for or against porn, just saying it's not my preference.
