Lol. Yeah I’m not sure how old you are, but I do think there’s a large difference between those who watched porn on dial up or looked at it in magazines, compared with those who watched on high speed internet. There’s a lot of young men around with ED produced by overconsumption of Porn. Don’t cringe when I say this but, just go to reddit/nofap or reddit/pornfree for mountains of anecdotal evidence.

All you’ve said is reasonable. But I still feel as though you’re missing something important on this subject. I generally also feel as though anybody older than, say, 35, doesn’t quite understand the experience of someone at 25. The technology has just moved so fast, and access to taboo and extreme porn is way more available than it was before. Not only that, but the amount of triggering soft porn on our social media feeds is quite overwhelming for the modern porn addict. To me, this is a new environment that emerged around 2011.

In terms of the science, many people claimed that video game addiction wasn’t real, even while teenagers and adults around the world had their lives ruined by World Of Warcraft and other such games. And now, as of 2018 (I think), its officially an addiction. It seems highly likely to me that Porn will go the same way, but only time will tell.

Plenty have said the opposite. That porn was harder to quit than their substance addiction (the so-called “real" addiction).

I’m exhausted from these long comments let’s leave it here. Appreciate the back and forth
