what are your thoughts?
I’ve been thinking about this lately. I see many people on here talk about how porn is something that is easy to just go cold turkey from. I feel like I see too many “Day 1, it has ruined me, I’m never going to give in again”. In my opinion, that is not what you should be aiming for. You should be aiming to control your lust. Masturbation is natural, porn is not. Better yet, random hookups aren’t natural either. A lot of the time, it isn’t about what you’re doing or watching, it’s about the time you wish you had back. See, I’m 15, so I say this because I’m going to be horny 24/7. I’ve just kind of accepted that, and that’s why I see it the way I do. I just want to know from other people. Is what I said agreeable? Is what I’m saying wrong? Just want to hear others say something.
Take it from somebody much older- masturbation and porn go hand in hand, extremely difficult to quit one without quitting the other. And hookups or even sex in relationships are not good either. Is it as bad? No, but it’s still damaging. Girls will fall in love with you if you take their virginity it’s not a small thing. Also once you find the woman you really want the guilt of being with so many other women is real. Don’t think of it as lust management and what to avoid while still managing to fill your sexual desire… look at it as discipline in action as an investment for your future self as a man. Wish I would have taken that advice when I heard it at your age, but I just tried to manage it and it always got back in.
