    Not fuckin’ really, no. Except in basically the same way as any media addiction, like doomscrolling on any safe-for-work hellsite.

      While both are addictive, porn is far more addictive, and it give short term dopamine spikes, which makes everything else seem less interesting or enjoyable, again, this is only regular watching.

        Rates of doomscrolling versus… habitual gooning… suggest that you’re recycling some moral-panic conclusions without re-examining the science. Antipatterns have made the disorganized attachment of places like this far more common and far more popular than pornography.

        If dopamine’s all you’re worried about, worry more about mobile games than the naked fanart of their characters.
