Masturbation vs Porn

Masturbating in general is a healthy act. It’s only unhealthy when it becomes uncontrollable and or alters your perception of yourself. Masturbating is usually accompanied with porn. You can say that it could be labeled as a trigger for most porn addicts. As for me, i tried this thought experiment “i can masturbate, just not to porn” but in reality, it’s a trap. Your mind is not seeking the act of masturbating or porn. It’s seeking dopamine. Your mind is trying to minimize the situation by making you believe that it’s okay if you do it for the “right” reasons. It’s like saying, “i stopped drinking liquor, but beer is okay”.

I mean how would you masturbate without porn? Unless your mind is 24k HD the only way you could masturbate is if your in a relationship which then It would be healthy if your not using porn… realistically masturbation isn’t the issue porn is, but masturbation is how we obtain relief. Porn is the crack pipe and inhaling is the release.

Both are not good bro but it depends on your goals, I feel like sometimes you’re going to be exposed to pornography and there’s nothing you can do to avoid it so for me my goal is to quit masturbation and watching porn intentionally

Porn leads to masturbation, masturbation leads to the consumption of porn
