How Bad Is Porn?

[The Monk]

I'm addicted to it. Simple as that. 

[wavydude]

pretty bad if you're addicted

It's the best thing that ever happened to me. Trying to beat the porn addiction got me on the self-help path, and got me to the point where I am now.

Pretty bad. I've been fighting it on and off for about 2 years, and today i can safely say that i'm done with it.
Life simply got too beautiful for me to ruin it with a stupid addiction like that.
You will get there. keep fighting, keep growing ( especially awareness ).

Same.

That really depends. Are you addicted in such a fashion that you are missing out on things in life, then yes it is bad for you. For me it was a conscious decision to continue Porn also it is not really compulsive for me, im trying to be very mindfull while doing it.
My main reason is that I don't want to have a girlfriend in the current structure of society where I live, I am also a very introverted person most of the time it would be very exhausting for me having to put in much of my time into a relationship, I simply love to be alone.
Another reason why in my case i think it is okay is because even with doing Porn 2-3 times a day I ejaculate in even under a minute when i do it faster without needing to do the famous dead grip or anything that people in the nofap community have problems with. I am still often getting erections just by very light body contact to a women with watching that much porn so without doing Porn it will get very extreme for me. I wish to last even a bit longer during sex honestly but I want to keep it moderate though too much porn would also waste a whole lot of time.

I did it once a day on average. Looking back now I know for sure I was an addict. I'm trying to quit it for 7 years now, and i'm still not completely free from it.

Have you checked out NoFap? It helped me out a lot!

[DaveB]

It's really bad. Depends on how much you are addicted on it. I trying to quit for almost two years now, with 1-2 monts streaks.Can speand even multiple hours on it, and the material Im watching is extreme.Definitly try nofap, for more info:

It often hides deep lying problems, I stopped porn for like 2 months and now all the shit's coming up to the surface which I surpressed everytime I was stressed and turned on porn, which was the only thing that really kept me in the moment.

 

But that is just an assumption, I went from enjoying it to regretting it, even if I did it just like one time in 2 weeks.

@The Monk I don't see this as a problem.  Have you made a list of what it's doing wrong?  Are you getting carpel tunnel or popping blood vessels from the strain?    Just keep it clean & tidy so that nobody can smell any strange smell off you & I think you'll be fine.   It's like anything else in life, you'll lose interest in it in your own time.  There will be phases where you felt you've seen all you need to see & then later on you might have a craving & want to see what's going on lately in the industry   A whopping 3-5 minutes of distraction never hurt anybody.
