As for sexual energy? Consider, if you were a women, what would you find more sexual appealing - a man hunched double watching a women being forced (either by capitalism or dominance) to have sex with some random paid schmuck, or you not jerking off all the time and using that sexual energy to feel more comfortable around all women? Which happens when we stop watching porn.

It gets better, and the happiness levels since giving up porn a year or so ago have been much better. Anecdotal, definitely, but also something many speak openly about in their thousands. Porn is violence. Anyone arguing against is perpetuating a male dominance hierarchy, & Terence McKenna was talkin' about you.

First of all, "porn survivors", really? Insinuating that only a handful of men and women make it out of the industry alive. Do we call manual workers "survivors of hard labor"? Why not? I know a lot of miners would rather be home relaxing instead of in the mine. Just like many pornstars would rather be home instead of filming porn. But they made a choice to do it. A choice they can back down from at any time. Making decisions that you regret is completely different from being forced to do something.

Second, what works for you is different from other people. If you are happier with nofap, congratulations. Don't make the assumption that everyone else is the same. For your information, I masturbate 2-3 times a week and have sex 3-4 times. I feel very comfortable around both men and women, and my relationship with my partner is phenomenal for both of us.

Third, violence is defined as "the use of physical force to harm someone, to damage property, etc." according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Porn does not fit that description, plain and simple. I, for one, know that the mindset I have while watching Terminator is vastly different than my mindset while watching porn. That's because they are vastly different things, in the emotion they evoke in the viewer, as well as.... basically everything. Porn is not violence. Porn is porn.
