What’s your best “it’s never too late to start” story?

I'll preface this comment by saying: good for you for achieving something you wanted to achieve. That's great, no matter what others (including me) might think.

But, doesn't that sub make weird claims about masturbation and porn causing way more problems than it actually does, and by not wanking you can basically become superman? (slight exaggeration on my part).

I've seen some strange things from that sub where people claim that not masturbating has severely changed their lives. Which is not supported by evidence and sounds borderline delusional.

Sure, watching porn for several hours at a time and wanking yourself into a stupor is a waste of time and probably leaves a person feeling pretty down. But I'd argue that behaviour is likely a symptom of feeling shit, not simply the cause.

Unless someone has some sort of addiction to it, there's no reason to think that wanking or a moderate amount of ethical porn is harmful.
