Pornography has no positive attributes.
You're probably thinking that porn releases dopamine, relaxes you, and reduces stress.
You probably think that without porn you're totally uptight and unhappy.
Quite the opposite is true. Porn causes guilt. Porn causes inner tension and stress. And porn leads to a lower release of dopamine, which is why you generally feel unhappy.
Imagine you have a wound on your face and your doctor prescribes an ointment. The ointment heals the wound, but after a short time, the wound reappears and is larger. Would you continue applying the ointment because you temporarily no longer have a wound, or would you look for other healing methods?
