Fucking dorks lmao
Ftr, women do this too with their menstrual cycles. Stop using apps to report your most intimate info and then being surprisepikachu.jpg when they harvest your data lol

"Porn addiction" is being pushed by fundamentalist christians, to force a complete total porn ban, nothing more.
Sex addiction, to some degree, is literally coded into your brain, unless you're a certain kind of asexual.
Same. The nofap thing always felt wrong to me. You cannot claim publicly that you don't masturbate unless there is some kind of "god will be happy if I behave well according to the bible or some other shit."
Giving a business details of your most intimate private life. What could go wrong!?
... Should have just rented out chastity cages.
There's a way to get around that, usually through the backdoor.
I’m in the wrong industry.
Need to find a grift like this…
Sometimes I think that myself - I'm probably capable of building something like this. But then the problem is that I am not a total piece of shit so I just work a regular job and live ok while people like this buy a new yacht.
I wonder if I could make an app promising to get their masturbation numbers back up. I can even promise not to store data.
What a grift.
its creators, Alex Slater and Connor McLaren, did not fix its security issues despite multiple requests and an offer from an independent researcher to help them fix the problem.
FUN! How much ya wanna bet this was vibe-coded?

Men will do literally anything other than go to fucking therapy. Jesus. Guys. You’re allowed to watch porn, let’s just direct the fear of people finding out into finding ethical porn you don’t need to feel guilt for. Or better yet, pay for your porn and support creators directly.
Also find some hobbies that get you out of the goon cave. Take up fucking birding and go find some different boobies.
Ahh yes, an "everyone needs therapy because I do" fool.
Most ethical porn is furry porn hahaha
Porn addiction has nothing to do with feeling guilty about porn or masturbation, and if you think that's the problem you have no business pronouncing on it.
Therapy is incredibly expensive and most people can't afford it. You don't understand how privileged you are if you can afford it
It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly dismissive people on this platform are toward those suffering from porn addiction. Just imagine telling an alcoholic there's nothing wrong with drinking beer or that they should "just get some hobbies."
I can only come up with very cynical reasons for why, of all addictions, this particular one gets ridiculed - even by people who probably consider themselves empathetic and compassionate.
Probably because all of the loudest people talking about porn addiction like to pretend there is no difference looking at porn a few times a week and spending multiple hours every day trapped in a goon cave that you can't peel yourself out of.
To be clear though, you should just watch the birds.
You’re allowed to watch porn, let’s just direct the fear of people finding out into finding ethical porn you don’t need to feel guilt for.
I mean, YMMV on that ethical porn business. I've found that to be more of a marketing gimmick than anything I can sleep soundly on.
Might just settle on not feeling guilty for beating off.
I mean if you pay a creator directly I don't see how that could be unethical
But also, every job under capitalism is unethical. The system is fucked but people still need to eat, so you know, choose your evil I guess
Yup that is mostly marketing bullshit. As long as the creator is having fun it's ethical to me, still keeping in mind that selling your body is not good but still legitimate because of the system we live in
