Is battling porn addiction worth it
| No.
| Bruh how is it even an addiction g/u/rl,
Just stop watching it
Is as simple as that
| a topic worthy of discussion g/u/y's. i read porn and dont watch it because in theory it isnt people actually having sex so it helps me justify my bad habit and enjoy it more. i dont even consider it porn and i only read porn about a couple times a week so im not addicted. got to have a little fun sometimes you know
| Yeah. Studies show that porn has severe impact on your brain.
| Absolutely. On the long run it will twist your mind and make you unconfortable to the opposite sex. Quit asap and enjoy your life. I replaced porn addiction with good habits and now my life has 1000% improved. Zero regret.
| Yeah, I mean jacking it on the reg isn't really bad for you, but if you feel like you are doing it too much than you are, as it can affect your moods and perceptions.
My advice is decide before hand what you are going to do instead of fapping when you are in the fapping mood. Make sure it's something that you at least kind of like. Go get a snack, watch a random Netflix movie, work out whatever, just make sure to do it. Still give yoself you time tho it's really not unhealthy.
| I recommend the book "Your brain on porn" if you want to learn more about porn addiction. It doesn't have any scientific evidence/studies but it presents a collection of anecdotal evidence that is interesting and may be relatable if you want to do something about it.
| always
we're always gonna ne horny but porn is really not great on a lot of metrics. have you ever rubbed one out in the shower? our imagination works just as well and wont leave us feeling so empty and disgusted by it all (ideally)
you're asking so i assume you want to, and i say go for it, its worth it.
| So were all just goin to be hypocrites and bag on porn and pretend like we never watched it? The bad part is never growing out of it. It is optimal to orgasm with imagination. I think NOT masterbating alters mood and perception as well

Yeah, while I can't provide a source I'm pretty sure that the evidence that porn is bad is low, but the evidence that not cooming for too long makes you more agitated and irritable is pretty well established.
Still though like with anything, too much porn is bad as it can affect what you think of as normal. and porn definitely ain't normal.
| >>962703 please understand, it's easier to blame external factors like porn than improving myself.
| Porn kinda fucked up my last relationship. It is horrible for your mental health and your perception of things. Porn makes your brain want more without actually getting it, so its practically blue balling you while making you cum. If its a problem, you should stop, g/u/rl. Even then, maybe cutting it back to once every 2 days, or once a week etc. would be helpful.
| >>962899 also keep an eye on who's funding these studies. Most of the studies that say porn is healthy are sponsored by MindGeek (a near-monopoly by traffic) or one of their many subsidiaries.
| As long as you're not getting off to anything illegal or something who cares, just find ways to cut back but those urges are just human. Just don't go buying into weird right wing self help grifts they just want to make a quick buck and it will fry your brain with goobity gook.
| i've said it before and i'll say it again: if you are feeling bad about watching too much porn, you have some other more complicated mental health problem
| I mean its mainly meant to take of stress, just stop if you're making some religion on it or sort of. There are a lot of funny hobbies you can get the longer you live in this world! :3
Let it know that you'll get bored to it at some point and prepare for some better fun nyhehehe
| Nigga, just close your eyes lmao. Stop your tirade about mental health and shit, no one is strapping you to the sperm milking chair and force you to watch gay furries wrestling it out. You click the link/video and watch it on your own accord. Just delete the video or turn off your phone if you don't want to fap, stop flailing around your victim cards.
| The key is to learn how to control your impulses. Focus on your breathing and only your breathing for 10-20 minutes a day. After that, it will be easier to consciously avoid porn as well as other addictive stuff.

The reasons why i want to stop using porn are this:
- I get detached to Irl sex/
- It's a huge time sink, like, within the past 1-2 years I've jacked off for around 2000 hours.'
-After ogasming serval times in succession makes my body feel drained, anything that is not porn feels stressful.
-At some point I got an injury in my special place and my brain was still trying to gaslight me into using porn
| I don't really feel bad for most fetish stuff though. Like obv it doesn't exist in a vacuum but I don't think the correlation is a obv as people think.(Someone who wants to get dominated doesn't mean their going to want to be sub in other aspects of life)
| Depends on your weapon selection.
