I just feel bad watching nsfw videos and im not sure if its normal and sometimes they make me feel sick watching. IM 19 is it normal to have become curious about nsfw stuff? it just annoyed me and im not sure if is should change, i would like to replace my “addiction” with something normal or healthy. if your wondering i come from religious bloodline but dont really adapt to church and such.

What would you advise?

    Porn addiction isn’t real. It’s the Christians attempting to groom men into shame so they can use it to control you.

      Porn addiction is a real thing that happens: there’s definitely guys out there that can’t get off without it or even get it up with their girlfriend without it. Then yeah it’s a problem.

      But if you just casually watch porn, and it being unavailable for an indeterminate amount of time doesn’t make you worry or uncomfortable, then it’s fine and probably healthy. It is indeed often used in religious context the same way as DARE is presented with drugs: you’ll have that one joint and be addicted to fentanyl until you find Jesus which is plain wrong.

        Some women can’t get off without using a vibrator, are they addicted to sex toys? Should they avoid using them for their safety?

        Why should we expect and demand men to always be able to go full mast on command whilst simultaneously telling women that it’s okay if they need a little help?

        Generally speaking you and @[email protected] are both right.

        There are people who have issues tied to excessive porn consumption but there is not consensus about it being an addiction. Some experts argue that it’s a compulsion rather than an addiction.

          In Any case, Christians have front groups that are pushing the porn addiction concept on young men to them shame into coming back
