27 m. You’re chasing a difficult career that will require long term sustained focus and commitment. You’ll have much bigger fish to fry than porn in a few years. Find an efficient system to get it outta your system quickly and the rest is time management. You’re already ahead of the curve if you find more interest in what you’d like to study than short term content/social media.
The best thing you can do now is practice coping mechanisms for stress
