hentai is healthier than other porn?

I do think hentai is better than porn as it's fiction so no one is being used/hurt. But It's still porn and bad in general.

 

Hentai can be a lot worse than normal porn. Hentai usually has a plot (however primitive it is) that gets a good grip on you. If I hadn't started watching hentai, I'm sure I'd probably be free by now.

From what you posted, I take that you're just reading doujinshi. I guess that if you're doing that and not watching animations, it is in some ways better than normal porn. But there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, hentai is still porn and is as addictive if not more addictive than live action porn (especially if it's animated). The other thing is, hentai is not bound by the limitations of reality; it can escalate to things worse than live action porn escalates to. I've seen things that I'm having trouble unseeing. Right now I guess you're fine, since you're not watching animated hentai and reading instead; you're better off than someone watching porn. But you still have to quit fapping to that. The only thing that makes hentai any better than porn is that there are no real people involved (except voice actors in animated hentai).

TLDR, hentai (if not animated) is marginally healthier than live action porn but is still pretty bad. By escalation, it can get worse than live action porn will ever get. Quit it as soon as possible. All the best.

 

I would say it's no different, it generally deals with the same themes as most porn, which is the domination of women by men, and even worse it does it generally with characters that look like children but with humongous breasts. I would say to stay away from it at all cost like any other porn, it'll only keep your mind warped. I thought the same about sex stories and the like, and I thought it was okay to be reading them because I was not watching or viewing, but as an addict to porn you realise you've a very good imagination to how porn and sexual scenes can play out, so in reading it I was virtually viewing it in my head anyway.

 

I would say the animated stuff (and a lot of the static items) are worse. There are no biological limits on proportions or positions or kinks and whatnot. Additionally, the themes of young women and bondage and non-humans and such can be much more extreme than human pornography because, well, there's no human to worry about or laws.

It's just another substitute, like an alcoholic who usually drinks vodka saying beer isn't that bad.

 

I strongly agree with this. Hentai can afford to use scenarios and proportions that can't exist in real life. If you begin strongly liking these impossible things you will find real life partners much less interesting, I'd say even more so than if you were to watch "normal" pornography.

That said, porn is porn, animated or in the flesh, "realistic" or idealized, it has to go.

 

Uncle Iroh your wisdom paves the way to success.

 

I don't see how cartoon images can stimulate sexual arousal.....especially that Japanese anime based porn, the bodies are all out of proportion or over-the-top when drawn... but then again people do have their own fetishes and what not. We all escalate into something different.

If it is making you susceptible to PMO or relapse, cut it out completely.

It's still porn, so there is no need for it. Eventually your mind will heal from it's "jelly" state like you say, so long as you continually abstain from it for a decent period of time.

Each person is different, could take weeks, months or maybe years of abstaining to heal the brain damage/attachment to it. My advice would be to abstain/go cold turkey for 90 days and then, concurrently report on your journey in NoFap/accountability partners etc.

 

Even lesbian and solo porns are dangerous too. No porn is healthier. Porn is fake and it's messing with our brains.
