Now I know why some of you are sexist...

I had to google nofap - I have to ask - why? Masturbation is normal and healthy (and I'm sure there was a DM article recently claiming it prevents cancer!)

On it's own it is but with pr0n it isn't. Your brain on porn is an interesting watch. The whole objectifying thing and unrealistic expectations can play havoc with one's relationship and perception of the other sex..

Just ask Pamela Anderson

The whole right side of the DM page is one big pot noodle fest that I can't look at unless I want to fall off the nofap wagon

The Metro is the best online paper for rude stuff:

Pron in the form we grew up with (scarce magazines) is not really bad for the mental health in moderation. It's Internet pron that is bad for you because the click click click causes a dopamine rush that lasts as long as you keep clicking. That high cannot be matched by normal sex with an average person. That's where the problems start for some people.

Some people get addicted to Internet pron and keep clicking from page to page, it's not the images that they are chasing - it's the dopamine (dopamine gives you the exciting feeling that something very enjoyable is just around the corner).

Probably if you are an addict then cold turkey is best. But in principal I think the problems are caused by Internet pron, not pron per se.

Saying that, I think it's all bad for your spirit.

And as others said, masturbation in moderation is healthy.
