I recently stopped watching porn after doing some reading on proletarian/marxist feminism. This article in particular was really good imo: https://proletarianfeminist.medium.com/a-socialist-feminist-and-transgender-analysis-of-sex-work-b08aaf1ee4ab

I was wondering if anyone else is in a similar boat? Porn is a powerful drug and it can be really difficult to give it up if you’re addicted (which I am unfortunately). Is anyone willing to share their porn-free journey and give some advice and tips?

      Beat me to it. This follows Allen Carrs method for how to quit smoking.

        Is the easy peasy thing legit? I have only heard of it once before when a Lemmy user said talking about this book in nofap subreddit is not allowed.

          Yeah I think so. Not sure why it’d be banned, other than the fact that the book discourages being a part of nofap communities, for various reasons.

            Yeah nofap people are unhinged cranks and refrain from masturbation for weird reasons that I cannot comprehend. So if anything their attitude towards it is a shining endorsement of sorts.

              r/pornfree is better for people who are trying to quit tbh

        am I blind?

        Possibly… my parents always warned me that going blind can be an unfortunate consequence of wanking.

        Weird, I keep somehow linking different posts on here than I intend to, and in this case it showed nothing to you. Lemmy glitch I guess. Thanks @moist-leninist

          No problem, probably check your browser or its just Lemmy glitching out. I always reload page if I see weird issue.
