Thank you for writing this. I have not yet made the commitment to quit porn completely, but I'm glad to be down to watching once a week. The thing that troubles me most about watching porn is that the dopamine overload can actually burn neurons in one's brain. Fuck that. Not worth it. And it does remove the motivation to actually go seek out a partner, and having a partner would be healthier for all sorts of reasons. ... I don't think this is something that we should feel shame in talking about. It's an issue everyone in our modern society is dealing with in some way, whether you are a man watching or a woman dealing with men conditioned by it. It needs to be talked about and we need to come to terms with it.

Hey, thanks for reading. You're right it does involve everyone in some way or another, yet it's a conversation we keep avoiding. I was actually reluctant to post this but now I don't regret it seeing as it opens a space for expressing something we usually carry in silence. Wish you lots of willpower to be in control and use or not use as much as you want, as long as you're not controlled by it
