is this app discouraging masturbation?

i downloaded this app a few days ago and i just came to the realization you can technically still masturbate without using pornography. does the ethos of this app discourage strictly pornography or the act of masturbation as well? I totally agree about porn being terrible and am super on-board with cutting it out permanently and am already feeling benefits of cutting pornography out, but am on the fence about masturbation. i believe masturbation using imagination shouldn’t be as harmful but i could be wrong! I’m on 7 days strong without acting on either of them at the moment but I must admit it’s been difficult the past couple days specifically. any insight and/ or criticism of is welcome. thanks. stay strong my brethren.

For me my imagination is corrupted by the porn. I remember the images of the porn so it’s like I’m currently watching it. So I’m avoiding all masterbation.

I somewhat feel the same way, but one thing about it. Porn is everywhere in some context. It’s just a thing that we are going to have to live with but have the strength to beat it. I even walk around the gym with my head down so I won’t get this feeling. This is a hard thing to conquer but we got it

Christian, I agree with you. I’m here to work on my addiction to porn as it affects my ability to be invested in and be aroused by the woman I’m seeing. I do want to continue masturbating when I’m not around her but I want to use my memory of good times with her rather than resort to what I’m seeing online.
