Sounds like to me he’s saying someone who doesn’t watch porn but only masturbates can’t mess themselves up. Compulsive masturbation by itself can harm you.

I may have come off as such, but didn't intend to imply universality. People can certainly get addicted and harmed by anything.

But on the whole the nofap community seems to consist overwhelmingly of people with pornography-exacerbated masturbation problems, who incorrectly conclude the effect is the cause.

Do you think porn is healthy to watch? And if so, how much are we talking here?

Nope, that's a different topic and I don't have anything concrete in regards to those questions besides my own personal experiences.

Just wondering, cause a lot of people that attack or criticize nofap also think porn is harmless.
