Is porn really that bad?

Wow, an hour a day for a week, that's quite a bit.

otoh I can't understand what all this fuss about the use of porn is about. I can't see, how wanking it to porn once or twice a week is bad for you. Let's face it, the regualr guy doesn't have access to poon every week and you still have to release some pressure. That's my MO and I'm quite happy with it.

I find porn to be a slippery slope. Before you know it, you're looking up the freakiest of the freaks. This leads to dissatisfaction in the real bedroom, with real women. You want her to wear heels, tight dresses, skirts, stockings. You want her to do all these crazy things, but... those were trained actors with years of experience, on basically a setup stage.

Your mind thinks you actually lived through those things... thus it wants more of it.. more of that dopamine rush. So you go back to porn, over and over for that hit.

Honestly, stick to lifting, working out, and talking to real girls. What inner, primal need to get with a girl... make it real. Act out as nature intended. Don't just attempt to satisfy those cravings with pixels on a screen.

Or look up other Youtube documentaries. I don't even suggest 'edging' to people anymore.

Yes, yes it is. It messes with your libido, your motivation, and your ability to enjoy life.

Like any other vice ,some guys can enjoy it in moderation. Others shouldn't touch it. Only you know where you stand. In general, however much porn you're viewing, I advise "less."

Moderation. I get regular sex but every once awhile i might jack it. Doesn't interfere with me at all.

Porn is a symptom for a bigger issue.

Why aren't you enjoying the company of women? It's your biological imperative and having an emotional connection with a woman gives you a natural high that porn can never accomplish

Enjoy porn, like all vices, in moderation.

Limit yourself to once a week and you'll be fine.

I am glad this thread was made, but I'll raise another question...when the porn is gone out of your life, do you then contiune to mastubate without it? As in could you still keep the porn and not masturbate, or do you have to abstain(not physical sex) completely once it is gone?

Repeat this self-affirmation:

“I must not porn. Porn is the mind-killer. Porn is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my need for porn. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the porn has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Also, lift more. Every time you want to look at porn; lift.
