The basis for this thread is not in any way a scientific conclusion and you guys are getting a bit scary about defending it at all costs.
Yes, if you're addicted to living in the basement masturbating to pornography all day and it's having a detrimental effect on your life then you should absolutely address it. But abstaining from sex and sexual imagery for 90 days to "detox" from the grand worldwide malady of pornography is bullshit and just torturing yourself and potentially leading to extreme behavior toward the end. Especially seeing guys with healthy normal sex lives considering it after buying into their brains being compromised just makes me facepalm every time I come in here.
Sure, experiment with changing your sex habits and see how you feel. If you feel better and more outgoing and assertive if you don't masturbate to porn as much, then absolutely let that inform your behavior going forward. Just keep in mind that this is all unsupported and anecdotal throughout before you commit to giving up normal biological processes that keep you mind and body from going Catholic Priest.
