Porn and jerking off aren’t the same.

Welcome to QUITTER. Many of us are here because we’re fighting an addiction to porn. Porn can be as addictive as any drug—it gives you a high that leaves you craving more. It often starts with “normal” content, much like how weed can be a gateway drug. But over time, the craving can lead you to seek out more extreme and unrealistic content. This can warp your perception of reality and affect how you see yourself and others. Here, we work to break free from that cycle. It’s important to recognize the difference between porn and masturbation. While porn can be harmful and addictive, masturbation itself is a natural part of life. Releasing tension isn’t bad or shameful—it’s something most people do. You can set personal goals around it if you want, but don’t beat yourself up over it unless it’s impacting your health or well-being. Stay strong. You’re not alone in this fight.
