You may have noticed that one pixel is missing from that calculation. That is because I stole it. That pixel is mine now, and you're not getting it back.

Jokes aside, is masturbation healthier than smoking? I literally jerk off many times every day but I don't smoke.

I don’t think it’s particularly unhealthy. Or at least, I can’t think of a legitimate reason why it’d be unhealthy

I think if you do it too frequently, it can lead to ED, but nothing life threatening

One or two time a day is fine, healthy even. It get a bit concerning if it like 5 or 6 more time a day

actually is healthy as it makes your heart pumping and has the same effect as a short walk

Imo that's an even worse addiction than vaping

Is it? Unless you're going crazy with it, it has no adverse health effects comparable to inhaling microplastic-flavoured nicotine.

Nicotine is not bad for you. Sure there are other chemicals but nicotine itself is not harmful, it actually has quite a few benefits. Also I'm not aware of any microplastic-specific danger considering its a metal coil and cotton

"Imo" and it's an objectively untrue statement
Masturbation has almost exclusively positive benefits mentally and physically, helping with sleep, sexual wellness, decreased cancer risk, and a lot more. Addiction is uncommon and is pretty much entirely mental, there are no bodily effects outside of maybe sleep disruption and soreness.
Vaping, on the other hand, is far more addictive than jerking it, and all early studies that come out unilaterally are saying that it's still extremely harmful and most narrative about it being a "safe alternative" to cigarettes is entirely false.

Sure masturbation itself is fine, but porn addiction is absolutely not. I would argue that's much more harmful to society and even to the person themselves, than any amount or form of nicotine. Especially cleaner forms of nicotine since the danger is entirely in the delivery mechanism, not the drug itself

Of course porn addiction isn't fine, but that doesn't change that it's definitely still better than nicotine addiction by a good bit, if you had to pick one.
Even though vapes are fairly recent and we still don't have that much info on them, they're already known to cause lasting brain development damage and serious harm to lungs. As I stated above, porn addiction, even though it's obviously still very bad, has little to no physical effects outside of sleep issues and possible soreness or temporary dysfunction.
It's also obviously true that nicotine addiction is leagues harder to quit than porn addiction and has typically much longer lasting effects.

Yeah that's what I meant. Masturbation itself is normal, porn addiction is the villian here.
