"Is it porn?"
I remember my brain could go a bit like "websites are porn but short clips on reddit aren't. Sexual stories aren't really porn. OF scrolling isn't reeeeally porn. Bikini pics on insta definitely not porn."
So i quit the obvious porn and felt like I was clean (doing this properly at least). But then I quickly realized I wasn't and the addiction was just rerouting through whatever loophole that was open, and there were a lot of them.... our brains are great at doing this
So I developed a special test (lol): is this objectification?
Not really developed anything but I stopped asking "is this technically porn?" or "is this on a porn site?" and switched to: am I reducing a person to a body for my own use right now? Or simpler: is this objectification?
>If yes, ditch it. Doesn't matter what platform, what format, how "soft" it is. Same loop, same wiring, same s***.
And so far no false positives haha. The addiction can't argue its way around it the way it can with "well technically this isn't porn."
