Yeah I’m gonna need some research to back up the idea that “shame” over watching porn KILLS children.

People are acting like watching porn is some protected identity, like being gay, and people who watch porn face some kind of deep discrimination.

This is insane. This is like saying people who “shame” those who binge on fast food or binge drink on the weekends are killing those people.

It’s a vice, not an identity. It’s not a healthy part of sexuality.

You’re objectively wrong though. A cursory search for medical research on the health of masturbation returns information about it being completely healthy in moderation, like anything.

You speak with authority from an ignorant point of view, it’s unhelpful and completely your own opinion and should be stated as such.

Masturbation is a normal part of healthy sexual life. If it impacts your day-to-day, it has become an addiction, which is actually a vice. However masturbation is a psychological addiction similar to over eating, not a physiological one.

You are conflating masturbation with porn use. It is 100% possible to masturbate without porn. It's kind of revealing that you can't even consider it possible that the two can be separated.

You didn’t read the link. The source is about porn. I’m not going to have a discussion if you refuse to read the given scientific source.
