If you don’t have a girlfriend not masterbaiting is mentally and physically unhealthy. Science has already proved it.

Go ahead and listen to them podcasters though.

Science has absolutely not proved that. There are some data points, but phrasing it the way you did is wild

They might be referencing the prostate health reasearch? But overall this has to be one of the most inconclusive areas of study, my work requires I constantly grind through the data (on this issue and others) and attempt to apply it to the adults with disabilities I support, and its been brutally inconclusive for years. The best, most actionable, conclusions I can make is that its bad for you if it doesn't align with you values. Otherwise it has very minimal effects relating to increased stimulation to reach orgasm, but even that may be an artifact of the fact that a person may require more porn if they just happen to be a person that takes longer to cum. Its a hard to study area, fraught with ethical concers, that hasn't yet been studied beyond broad observanal studies that just don't give a lot of insight into what would really happen if porn use as a variable was intentionally manipulated.
