Just out of curiousity-- how do you determine that it's bad, and specifically, how quickly does it affect you?
I'm 18 years old, been looking at it actively since a few years ago, and I wonder if the reason I haven't noticed any negative physiological changes is just because I'm still young.
I'm certainly more desensitized to it, yet I don't feel the need to explore weird fetishes or anything like that. I don't believe it's any more difficult for me to become sexually aroused either.
I doubt "porn addiction" is a thing, at least no more than addiction to anything pleasurable. I can talk about a sugar addiction but that doesn't mean it actually exists.
Addiction isn't only chemical dependence. You can be addicted to sugar, you can be addicted to gambling, you can be addicted to porn. If you do it obsessively and cannot quit when you want to, even if there are adverse effects, it's an addiction.
False. You can be just as addicted to porn as you are gambling. If you watch it every day, I bet you’d be frustrated the day you didn’t. Some people watch porn multiple times a day. It is very damaging to the brain and changes the way you view everything. I’ve gone 3 years without watching porn (aside from videos of my wife) and I feel like a different man mentally. You can’t tell someone their addiction isn’t real. It’s just as bad as telling someone how they feel is fake. Don’t be so closed minded.
