    "Many found themselves sliding towards some terrible content that they never imagined they’d watch. The tragic consequence of this dynamic is that you feel more stressed, irritated, depressed, and demotivated from life. Normal dopamine from regular life events just cannot compete with the extreme flooding from virtual images"
    Any thoughts ?

  2. This is an aspect of porn addiction that luckily I didn't even know of before learning about nofap and reading about all these stories.

    Personally, I always had a very distinct taste that I kept from my first fap (over a playboy magazine at the age of 15) until my 40th birthday. Never escalated, never deviated much.
    Then again, you could say I "escalated" from porn to camgirls around 10 years ago. I never watched another regular porn scene ever again, because it didn't interest me at all. While the the thrill of the hunt and the "customizability" of self-made "camgirl porn" really got me hooked. Within this area, I never escalated either, but oh boy did it bleed me dry financially.
