Are certain kinds of porn less damaging than others?

    So firstly, I realise that no porn or masturbation is the ideal scenario and its what I am aiming for.
    Unfortunately, I have relapsed twice lately and I'm feeling the struggle.

    My question is more practical,
    Basically I'm wondering if people think there is a difference in the amount of damage done depending on what kind of porn is used.
    Like if I was going to have a relapse, would looking at bikini photos for example do less damage than a full relapse to some of my nasty femdom porn?

    Whats people opinions?
    and yes I know I shouldn't be looking at anything at all and that is my goal. But I'm also trying to come up with a damage control strategy.

    There is definitively a shock value associated to some type of porn. Thus I think some porn are more dangerous than other and also more addictive.
    watching a bikini picture is most likely less harmful than the femdom thing. But bikini picture is certainly a gate.
     
  3. Indeed. After the rush of a bikini pic. Then the brain wants more. A nude. Maybe a full topless. Then a little more. And more until a full PMO binge fest.

    It all started with a small peek of a nipple until were stranded in porn prision!

    I think It's relative. So what is dangerous for you might not be dangerous for another addict. What determines the degree of danger is how much you crave it. The more you crave that genre the more you get addicted to it and the more you get addicted!

    Hey,
    in my opinion one who is addicted to porn should prevent watching any kinds of porn or triggering images or videos because it can easily trigger you to do more (in the rush) what makes you addicted again

    Yes, of course there is a difference. The ones saying all porn is the same are ignorant. That's like saying heroin is the same as alcohol.

    Solo women or lesbian porn is the least damaging. It can even be used as a substitute to other porn, so that you use it instead of worse ones.

    Porn with a man in it is very bad. This includes pov, but pov is not as bad as 3rd person view porn.

    If the man is of a different race, it is even worse because you are 100% the observer/cuckold, since you, as a white man, can't be black, or a black observer can't be a white actor.

    Then there is mmf or gangbangs.

    Then themed porn like incest, cuckold, sissy, transgendered person etc
     
  8. For sure, sissy porn for example, makes you an anal addict, makes you gay, makes you want to prostitute yourself, makes you want a sex change, etc. This is what made me an full blown addict.

    On paper, certain kinds of porn are more harmful than others. In a lot of countries for an example, rape porn is (rightly) banned, but softcore porn is allowed and readily available, both on the internet, the marketplace and in convenience stores.

    The problem is that, our physiology is not designed like that. Our brain, once it gets used to the softcore stuff and numbed the dopamine receptors, will want more, shocking material to trigger the dopamine experience. And most people (myself included), start to look for more violent, shock-inducing material without even thinking about it.

    So in my opinion, it doesn't matter what genre it is, all porn is harmful and must be avoided because the same chemical reactions take place inside our brains regardless of what sort of porn we watch.

    i think porn with violence, dirty or fetish is most "damaging", because it's most intense. Just view a few titts in the playboy magacine should be not the deal
