I wish there was more open public discussion about the harms of pornography, particularly on young people. There is a lot of moralizing from the anti-porn side which I think makes the discussion difficult, especially since feelings of shame already clog up open dialogue.

Thanks Geoffrey! I wouldn't be surprised if the harms are overblown... but do you think there are any possible harms at all to porn consumption? If so, what do you think they might be?

The key thing is to distinguish between porn viewing, masturbation, and ejaculation. They may have different benefits and harms, but the anti-fap community is so sex-negative that they can't talk clearly about the differences.

Please publish some case studies in peer reviewed journals about this. If true, it should contribute to the scientific discussion.

Patrick Carnes is a charlatan who monetizes sexual shame, and nobody takes him seriously in sex research, clinical psychology, or medicine.
