There is no good way to “consume” porn. At best it’s pathetic, and it can be a whole lot worse, causing actual brain damage by rewiring reward circuits. It’s similar to alcohol in that respect: there is no safe dose.
I don’t say this to upset anyone, but anyone who is upset will benefit greatly from curbing the tendency toward denial and honestly asking “Am I an addict?”
- nhinck2 4y agoAll of this is of course backed by sound science right?
- thih9 4y ago> At best it’s pathetic This seems a personal opinion and unhelpful. Others might say avoiding porn is pathetic; I think this topic should be discussed without name calling. I like the comparison to alcohol. I don’t drink but I wouldn’t shame those who do (unless they have a compulsion or they drink to avoid problems).

- SixDouble5321 4y agoOh, so it's one of those types of personal opinion.
