@Jonas S great question bro Personally I try to stay away from it even without porn. Don't get me wrong it's still better than watching porn. But I still think if you do it every day for example, that can be quite damaging. I'm not one of those weirdos who's obsessed with getting to day 100 of no fap or whatever. I just don't think about it. I prefer seeking sexual scenarios in real life. I think that's the healthiest way. If we keep giving ourselves pleasure without working for it, our monkey minds will always resort to the instant pleasure, rather than the delayed pleasure. Going on a date with a woman, putting in hours of your time to get dressed and look good, and then escalating with social skills and charm is much harder than opening up your laptop and nutting within 5 minutes, BUT IT'S MUCH MORE REWARDING Hope that makes sense bro, that's my opinion at least

@Jonas S found a good take here:

@Brian R Hey bro, great question First of all we need to realise that watching porn is a habit James Clear from Atomic Habits (here's the summary) mentions 4 things you need to do to destroy a bad habit: 1. make it invisible 2. make it unattractive 3. make it difficult 4. make it unsatisfying As an example, here's what I did to make watching porn unattractive: I would think to myself: 'what's the point of watching two strangers fuck on a screen when I can go out and actually be in that situation??' This would give me the drive and energy to seek sex in real life instead of on a screen. As guess what - in real life it's 100x better (obviously) This identity shift made watching porn so unattractive that it became so rare that I did it. Because now I'm the guy who wants to have sex irl Hope that helps🫡
