    Masturbating is healthy, so who told you otherwise?

    It gets problematic when you have health issues or social problems due to porn or if you neglect other parts of your life.

    It’s a way healthier addiction than a drug addiction though. Smoking, drinking, substance abuse in general are more harmful to your body. Even if you drink just one glass of wine every month it will probably be more harmful in the long run than masturbation.

      1 glass of wine a month sounds a little too less… I’d like one every meal after masturbating

      Watching porn =/= masturbation. Nobody is saying masturbating is unhealthy.

      An addiction is capable of ruining your life. It doesn’t matter what it is. It’s such an incredibly toxic thing to be told that “well at least you’re addicted to x and not y”. It’s nothing but a terrible excuse to keep using and will only make things worse.

        The question of the initial post is ‘can porn be used in a healthy way’. I answered the question inferring that porn is primarily used for masturbation.

        Porn addiction can ruin your life like any other addiction. You’re right with that. It’s just easier to die due to substance abuse than through porn addiction.

        You’re making it sound like watching porn immediately leads to an addiction and you should stop watching porn. In moderation, porn consumption is not unhealthy. However, even in moderation, substance abuse can have long lasting effects.

          Just like nobody made the point that masturbating is unhealthy, I didn’t say, or even imply, anything about death or porn leading to an immediate addiction. It seems like you have a problem where you just wildly misinterpret words for whatever reason.

            The initial question is framed in a way implying that porn might only ever be consumed in an unhealthy way, meaning that masturbation would be unhealthy.

            It seems like you have a problem where you just don’t interpret words for whatever reason.
