Hey, you're probably mostly right there. That conclusion was a bit too fast, but this article did enrage me (and therefore probably did it's intended purpose). As I wrote I liked that nofap avoided political and religious biases, and I enjoy it that way. So probably I shoud adhere to that as well. On the other hand, I delved deeply into the manosphere / TRP and explored many of the different directions. As for your last paragraph, yes I think we need to discuss it here sooner or later, as I think this is a societal problem to a degree (which causes our addictions or at least facilitares them) and thus needs to be discussed here. There are some values the left represented which I found important and sensible (Stefan Molyneux made a video about that) but I find today's left just madness. I became very critical of "the left" or at least some parts of it. Just make this search and you see why. (In spoiler - as it may trigger someone - but I see this as a criticism of society and we have to be able to talk about this bs Spoiler: google for "study porn benefits" ... ... and you land here https://www.google.com/search?q=study+porn+benefits and find pure bs like * 11 unexpected benefits of watching porn (https://www.dailydot.com/irl/benefits-of-porn/) starting with "Honestly, guys, you could learn a thing or two."

I found most of that quite disturbing and that's where I disagree with your first paragraph, as *all* of the authors and the publications/ news sites are left leaning in their general attitude - you won't see such idiocy on "right wing" / red pill sites.
Hold up, I just realized something mind-blowing. The site porn*** gets about 100 million visitors per day on average. The porn industry makes more money on any given day than the NFL makes on Super Bowl Sunday. Holy Crap. Imagine how much money the other porn sites are getting. Jesus. A 100 billion dollar industry that sexually exploits people for money. Jesus.
They are using porn, which does not mean that they are addicted. The tobacco, alcohol and the gambling industry also make a lot of money. Not everybody who uses a drug is addicted. Whether a drug is legal or not ironically has little to do with how dangerous it is. It is more of a question of culture &traditions and in many cases, corruption. Making a drug illegal does not help to combat addiction anyway.
I feel you on a deep spiritual level. I still think the Fight for Love is still worth it. Love is real. Just check out Marla Robinson's book "Cupid's Poisoned Arrow". It says couples who do kareeza, stay together for life. Don't let negativity get to you man, porn is just a byproduct, not a standard. Peace to you. In the meanwhile, I'm going to fart with my chief.
