A member asked:
Is using hardcore porn for about one hour everyday bad for my mental health, i have never had a relationship and use it to de-stress? what about dopamine and delayed gratification? am i selling myself short by using porn to masturbate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are many other ways to de-stress like games, TV. exercise meditation etc. Porn done daily can be addictive and gradually requires 'more'. Don't get involved with mumbo jumbo of your second sentence. In moderation both porn and masturbation, like anything else, are OK. Best iot is to find a partner then you wont need either. Good luck.
