So my main issue was problems with sex and I’m not gonna go too much into detail but what I thought was caused by casual porn, not excessive, was actually caused by extreme levels of anxiety and depression and based on my situation right now that said that going cold turkey could potentially make me spiral into worse feelings and it could leak into other aspects of my life. They did however say though after I get my mental health in order, to take a step back from porn, but it shouldn’t be my main concern right now.

Easily the dumbest advice a doctor can give, you get your mental health in order BY quitting porn. Quit porn, your mental health will significantly improve. I was depressed and anxious, now I’m not

Porn and masturbation create depressive and anxious feelings. Here’s my take - you’re the patient. You know the life you want. If the doc doesn’t align, maybe that’s not the doc for you.

I’m pretty sure excessive porn can have a negative affect on the degree of those issues though, I’m no doctor though
