    I didn’t downvote but the reason is probably because you’re blaming porn for your issues like it was only an issue because of your age.

    If you became an addict because of porn at 14, not seeing porn until you’re 18 wouldn’t have changed anything, except delay that problem for 4 years. That’s it. People don’t just become addicts if they’re only a certain age range, the problem is much deeper than that.

      Debatable. I had no phone or TV as a child and now I am addicted years later. But my developing brain grew up not needing these stimuli.

      This is pretty important, so a delay might be very helpful

        didn’t you just provide anecdotal evidence for their point rather than against?

          Yes they did, but also contextualized that even if the addiction occurs later, the delay has value.

          Addiction is not binary.
