used it religiously to cope for 5 years at least, was running away from fucked up traumas i kind off feel slower, dull and more autistic or socially anxious? i guessbeen reading about that it can reduce gray matter and lead to other bullshithow can i get myself checked and is there a way to reverse this?
>>34855414It depends on the amount and on the individual.
>>34855419how can i tell accurately? it was 5 years or more and almost daily
>cope for 5 years at least, was running away from fucked up traumasBlame the porn
If you are watching porn for hours every day and it's getting in the way of school or work or socializing with real people then yeah it's a problem. Otherwise it's not a big deal.
>>34855414Personally it makes me more irritated and moody. Obviously, there is no such thing as free pleasure, otherwise we would all be on heroin. It's better to quit if you can.
>>34855414not if the people in the porn are retarded
>>34855414>i kind off feel slower, dull and more autistic or socially anxious?That's social media overload, not porn.
It reduces grey matter in the brain so I think it does.
>>34856394All jokes aside, this scares me since I got hooked from a young age and it only became a crippling addiction a few years ago. I try so hard to quit, but this shit is a poison that never leaves.>>34855414OP I suggest that you unironically ask this question on /pol/ as there are a few high IQ autists who would genuinely respond to your post complete with scientific studies and detailed explanations, though possibly with a few slurs here and there.
>>34855414You gotta do nofap bro.
>>34856468can you post it instead? even if you had to copy paste my shit
>>34856394Less gray matter = more space remaining for hwhite matter.
>>34855414i have been watching it since i was 7, since then i have developed disgusting, depraved kinks and POCD. porn destroys your life bro you need to stop
>>34856751BRUH >>34856762how old are you now and why havent you stopped
>>34856762How do you get addicted to porn at the age of 7?
>>34857096>fucked up traumasOp isn't a normie
No, and same with 4chan in general. You are here because of your mental problems, it did not cause them.
>>34857096unrestricted internet access and hypersexuality caused by trauma
>>34857095im 19 now. its too hard to stop, everytime i remove all my access to it i just find a way around it or take off these restrictions. i find porn and online sexual activity as a coping mechanism for how alienated i feel from the rest of the world, like its the only time i feel equal or seen.i think growing up with it and watching it nearly daily for my whole life has just embedded itself into me, its a part of me now that i cant ever escape and regret daily.
>>34855414>used it religiously to cope for 5 years at least, was running away from fucked up traumasThis was me during college>is there a way to reverse this?I won't tell you to completely nofap, but try reducing it to just one goonsesh a week. This is easy to do because porn sucks now.
>>34857179well i think going nofap is pointless, despite that it has been 10 days or less (im not counting) since i fappedi also stopped watching porn for that matter despite having the urge and the "sweet tooth" of watching porn since for some reason it mellows me outanyways i was just fixated on the fact that i became retarded and i was serious about getting brain scans CT and mri i thought i would get closure idk if i need to do other tests tho>>34857168hmmm idk if you wanna be friends i guess? i think being around people in general helped me, so having you as a friend would be something positivethink about it and tell me what you decided
>>34857250>despite having the urge and the "sweet tooth" of watching porn since for some reason it mellows me outWhy not use thatpent up energy to go after women?
>>34855414>does porn actually make you retarded?Yes>how can i get myself checkedNo need. You already have noticed the symptoms.>is there a way to reverse this?Yes. Stop masturbating and looking at porn. Very simple.
>>34857810>Why not use thatpent up energy to go after women?cause im socially retarded but yeah ur right i noticed that when i quit fapping/porn i get an incentive to talk to girls and the feeling i want to hookup w someone, but the problem is that i lose hope quickly and feel depressed and go right back to the fapping/pornanyways i will try
>>34858266>Yes. Stop masturbating and looking at porn. Very simple.that would only stop the symptoms from worsening and advancing ?! wtf r you talking about i want to reverse the damage
>>34858344Being abstinent DOES reverse the damage. Once your body stops wasting resources on producing cum every day, it can spend all those nutrients and energy on healing itself. Believe me I've been through this. I used to be an absolute husk of a human being when I was in my peak gooner years, and I'm doing 1000% better now.
>>34855414It's not porn that makes you tarded it's the waste of time not doing something else actually constructive or skill exercising building like socialshit
>>34858356>peak gooner yearsplease enlighten my sensei, how long ago was that and how were you "peak" back then
>does 'X' cause issuesno it's not 'X' but 'X' does show signs of 'Y'>which results in posters like this:>'Y' is not even the problem just quit 'X' retard posterswhich results in>you quit 'X' and don't solve 'Y' and still have 'Y' issuefind the 'Y' in this equation OP
>>34858588idk man i do think porn amplifies the shit and any addiction in that sense just forces you to act and behave in a certain wayi wanna just the brain scans for fun atp im just paranoid in generaldo you have any tests that you recommend too?
>i wanna just the brain scansi wanna just get*
