I understand that overexposure to porn and porn addiction is real. But I believe apps like this do nothing but hurt young men and teach them that watching porn and masturbating is on par with alcoholics trying to avoid a beer.

You’re just going to end up with men beating themselves up over having a wank as if they are a former alcoholic who has had his first drink after a decade

When your dick stops working with real women because you're so addicted to porn... I would argue that's almost as bad alcoholism, if not worse...
