Porn or masturbation arent bad by themselves

Maybe you're right for many cases.
I think it depends on where the motivation to stop masturbation, porn, sex comes from. If this motivation comes from deep down inside you, why not doing it? If it comes from the outside, from a dubious moral or a constricting religion, that you do not really agree with, then it gets problematic.

 

I respect your opinion, but it does not apply to everyone here by any means. Addiction is awful. It ruins your life and makes you a slave to your urges, and people here don't want to live that way anymore. It's not an overreaction if you have an addiction. If you don't, then sure, maybe it's not too big of a deal.

 

Both are negative and will lead to one becoming an enslaved coomer.

 

I think a lot of people are confused by my take which is similar.

Masturbation isn't really my probelm. Porn is. I can Jack off, clean up and be done with it. Porn on the other hand entices me to stay. And stay and stay. It starts perverting my sex life, and dominos fall down that should be standing up.

Can I be addicted to Masturbation? I dunno. I've found that after clearing my body of sperm the desire fades. I have a Schedule for Masturbation and stick to it. When I masturbate I strictly focus on my Penis and making it cum. I do not fantasize in my minds eye while I'm playing with myself

A relapse for me would look like me being on a porn website day after day getting nothing done. My goal here is to curb my glances online, I'm still gonna play with it.

 

What does your schedule look like?

 

Tell me more about this unicorn-world of yours where porn doesn't exploit female (and male) performers and ruin marriages because of PIED (as suggested by the countless threads of people sharing their sad stories).

 

I masturbate to orgasm 1 time a week. (Saturdays)

I usually do not edge. I just deal with the erections and precum all week until Saturday

 

1. Many "actresses" have been kidnapped in order to be sexually exploited. Look at criminal statistics. It's not an irrelevant crime. How else can you called it if not exploitation?
2) If someone has the economic power to force someone else to do something that she (or he) doesn't want to do, then this is called exploitation.

 

Hmm I don't know about porn. Some porn might be ethical but some of it isn't and can you really know what is ethical. If you go on a porn tube site it's not really ethical. So much on there is pirated and there's nothing stopping someone from making a video of someone who's trafficked and posting it on the sites. Also, some porn stars are coerced into filming. There are some porn companies that are supposed to be ethical but I don't know if it's possible for them to be completely ethical. Plus you have to pay a subscription and most don't want to do that. Having said all this it's pretty tough to purchase products just from ethical companies.

As for masturbation I agree it isn't wrong per se, it's just if you're addicted to it.

 

This video will explain things better:

Spoiler: Triggers

The woman in this isn't anti-porn but she thinks the industry has problems. She actually started her ethical porn site. Thing is girls are coherced into the industry and we're not talking about some site on the darkweb.

 

Pornography = Bad. Or at least pathetic.
Masturbation = Not necessarely bad.

 

She never claims she was forced into it. She gave up a job on Wall Street to do porn. But she met other porn stars who were coerced into doing porn. If a porn producer turns up at a high school party and starts talking to impressionable and naive teenagers of course they'll be convince a great number to do porn. And if you think it's simple for a porn star to quit and just get another job, you don't have much of an idea about how the job market actually works.

 

So now that we’re talking about the subject, is it true that chronic masturbation may lead to an imbalance in the legs? Anyone else here experience ankle pain? Is there any truth to “masturbation leads to weak legs?”

 

A lot of people say marijuana isn’t addicting, and marijuana addicts are often told by hardcore drug addicts that marijuana is no big deal, yet marijuana anonymous exist. Some people react differently to certain substances. Some just happen to fall into porn, among other things. It varies
