Really? Is touching the ding ding dong such a big deal? I'm not saying porn, a healthy guy can find this sex drive without stimulating material.

Many Christians believe it is sinful, because generally they are uptight as hell about anything regarding sexuality.

I think the porn addiction thing is that you train your brain to seek the reward of sexual pleasure through the cheapest means possible: porn. Cheap as in fast, efficient, and often focusing on exactly what you want. Brain learns, “gee, this is a lot easier this way” and suddenly it’s more difficult to feel engaged with the more natural processes for sexy time.

I understand this, especially during the past years, as many reports (not the nofap guys on reddit, mind you) showed that porn use and abuse has been on the rise, not surprisingly. But going nofap from the state of hypergooning is also dangerous. I think they should set realistic goal and keep journaling, these apps/services are preying on the frail ones. I learnt the concept of gooning against my will.

It’s like coffee to me. My day feels a little more straightened out as long as one gets rubbed out early in the morning.

There’s really not a comfortable way to say that, is there?
