>>9243555>So it's okay if I imagine scenes similar to porn? Why?That's a good point.
I think I get where you are going: If things that release dopamine are bad, then why is porn bad, when damn near anything that feels good at all releases dopamine. Why did I single out porn?
So, I'm sure that sexual fantasies release some dopamine, and maybe fantasizing about sex is kind of bad for you.
But answer this question: Which do you find more pleasurable? Thinking about sex, or watching porn? If you're jerking off, which one of the two will make you cum faster?
For me at least, the answer is porn. Porn feels more pleasurable. It causes the brain to release waaaay more dopamine.
And the more important point is that I've experimented. I've stopped porn, and started again, and stopped, and started again. Every time I started again, it was like I suddenly acquired ADD. Forget about all these hypothetical lines of reasoning; if the experiment tells me what _is_ true, that trumps all hypotheses telling me what _should_be true. Some other people have experimented also, and come to the same conclusion.
I'd also like to point out that everyone is different, and everyone might not have my same experience. I have some psychological tendencies that I think made my porn habit more harmful for me than it is for most people. That's why I encourage you to experiment for yourself.
Did I answer your question?
