Whenever I think about indulging my porn addiction, I force myself to think about giving bread to ducks at a pond. It’s been surprisingly effective. I hope it’ll last.

Don’t porn addictions not really exist 😭 unless it’s getting in the way of things, but regardless- super proud of you for committing to a goal!

I wish I had a porn addiction… popcorn works too, I think.

it exists as much as phone or gaming addiction exists (ie. psychologically addicting but not necessarily physiologically addicting)

Anything that causes chemical shifts in your brain can become an addiction if you indulge it long enough that it becomes habitual. Neurodiverse people have a heightened response to stimuli both physical and psychological, so we are especially susceptible to addictive behaviors.

Idk what the stats say but it also makes sense to me that many neurodivergent people like myself would have the issue of reconciling social anxiety with a longing for romantic intimacy. So it seems like porn would be a particularly tempting (though suboptimal) way of simulating intimacy without the discomfort of navigating social situations.
