It’s bad when you actually go to have sex. Sex isn’t really a visual thing and when your brain gets so used to having visual stimulus to get off, it leads to things like ED when fucking a girl.

If you plan on never having sex then it probably doesn’t matter.

Fucks with your dopamine receptors, making other activities less enjoyable by desensitizing your brain, as well as desensitizing it to sexual pleasure overall, the same way a heroin addict is gradually desensitized to the drug and needing "harder" substances to get the same high.

How long can you go without masturbating?

Have you ever tried?

Me too. Porn is pretty cool.

I think that advice only applies to people who don’t have their life together. Maybe you’re unemployed and alone all the time and someone told you that so you could improve your life. But if everything is going great for you, then watching porn is not really any more harmful than watching sports or streaming TV shows.

"porn addiction" isn't an addiction, it's a behavioral disorder.
im not saying that to be pedantic, either. with addiction, you treat with abstinence and medical support. with behavioral disorders, you treat the thought patterns and life circumstances reinforcing the behavior.
there's a very real reason the DSM refuses to say it's an addiction. behavioral disorders should be treated with care and respect just as any other malady, but they require completely different treatment methodologies from addiction.

The more porn you watch, the more your brain becomes conditioned to respond to porn rather than actual sex. If this gets bad enough, you'll be unable to get an erection or experience any kind of arousal or pleasure when actually in bed with someone.

Also, porn use always escalates. You'll end up looking for more and more extreme stuff, and eventually nothing will turn you on anymore.

Are you indirectly saying this to me?
>>
>>34057204
>you'll be unable to get an erection
im a woman so im already unable to get an erection
>You'll end up looking for more and more extreme stuff
i thought extreme porn only catered to people who are already into that? im a virgin because im not into bdsm and stuff

>>34057553
as far as i can remember, it wasnt you who said that to me.
what YOU told me to do is google James Madison eagle coitus.
>>
>>34057702
I feel like it's you saying this to me

>what YOU told me to do is google James Madison eagle coitus.

Well yeah, I think American history is important and as a James Madison enthusiast You should be enthralled by this.
>>
>>34057785
But
>I feel like it's you saying this to me

I meant to not watch porn (which I assume means clicking on nude threads)
>>
>>34057785
>James Madison enthusiast
that's one way of putting it.

>>34058124
The other is
>Welcome to my gluck gluck mind palace james
