> So YouPorn is a medical device now. I thought I've read the opposite that porn should be avoided because it's just like the rest of social media (a hinderance overall). Bad from an "over stimulation" perspective. aka the whole "nofap" movement https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/ has 1,100,000+ members

I mean I can find a million people believing a lot of things. If you want to avoid both social media and prostate cancer, the species has been making do with imagination for quite a few millennia.

  To me it's more about what the current "narrative" is being pushed/what is a popular "mindset/viewpoint" in society. A lot of TikTok users write comments like "stay strong bros" referring to "keep scrolling past this trending submission on the timeline" do not let these young women in skimpy clothing make you succumb to your goals of avoiding the pitfalls that come with being "addicted" to the stimulation of the porn itself and the "pleasure" of masturbating"

So some behaviour is bad and social media is bad and you join a social media forum with one million... ahem, members to talk about it. It doesn't seem like a good plan. Edit, to clarify: traditional suppport groups must be helpful for serious addiction, but an online forum with a lot of traffic? It seems crazy. If you have a problem with doing something pasively and anonymously online, go outside and chat with people in the flesh. You need to do something that helps you forget the damn thing, not revolving around it more.

  Another way to look at it: 1,000,000 people felt their relationship with porn and masturbation wasn't healthy and needed help weening off of it Who's telling the truth? Medical science (ejaculate more to keep your prostate healthier) or the community online telling you "stop masturbating" I have no clue

    ejaculate more to keep your prostate healthier Nice to have, but that's not why you do it. Also it doesn't imply to be alone.
