It’s not about making me a worse person. It lead to addiction. At first it was maybe once a week…then twice a week…every two days…and then to about 2-3 times in a day. It’s hard to come out of it
IDK, teenagers masturbating a lot isn’t only new since porn access has become ubiquitous… Humans can obviously get addicted to all kinds of things and might need help controlling that addiction.
The unrealistic expectations induced by porn have the capacity to negatively impact sex and relationships for generations. Nobody explains to kids that this is acting, that you should have mutual consent on what goes, and choking isn’t required. To me that part is the even bigger danger.
If you’re talking about masterbating, then that’s not unusual or a bad thing necessarily. I didn’t encounter porn until late high school yet I would do that frequency as a younger kid. That’s normal for boys. What’s not normal is that you seem to have pathologized it.
Porn or sex addiction isn’t a thing. In general, people who struggle with porn or sex are living in social environments that have pathologized them, and the struggle is in trying to conform to social expectations that make normal human experiences taboo.
