You know, I've head that John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes to discourage masturbation. Take from that what you will.

Porn is evil. I don't know how people say it's not. Maybe porn is alright when you are like 15-16 and you are in the peak of puberty, but there is a time to grow out of porn. You can't be that sexually charged teenager forever. Porn is an entire industry that takes advantage of people. I can't find the quote, but a person really big in the pornography industry said porn was primarily created to take down WASP culture, and it has succeeded sadly. If you are a person still living with their parents jacking it to their "waifu" everyday, you have a very slim chance of marriage. Simple as that

And don't you dare try to say "but it's people's body they can do whatever they want".

Is marriage a useful goal? I will take it as you advocating for some kind of stable, long term, possibly monogamous relationship, people do well enough in those I guess.
15-16 then... do not many places say 18 or even 21 as the minimum age to consume? Explain your deviation from the suggested guidelines please.

You can't ban something permanently, its like guns. But you can tell the dangers of it.

The one making the outrageous claim is the one that gets to back it.
It has been here for quite some time. Main producers of it, and main consumers of it, consistently rank in the most technologically developed, richest, most free and otherwise desirable places to live in the world. I don't know to what extent the extent and availability has changed over the decades and if it is terribly relevant but that could be looked at, suffice it to say my grandparents probably had it on tap and my parents certainly did, I am somewhat past it being socially acceptable to have kids and definitely past it being biologically possible for most of my age range.
So that is society at large covered from where I sit.

Individuals then. Barring insanity like Utah (for those unaware they managed to get porn declared a public health hazard https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo...913/utah-declares-porn-a-public-health-hazard ) I am not aware of any national medical body worth listening to that strongly discourages its use. Neither of the big psychological manuals discourage it wholesale.

Or if you prefer then citation very much needed.

Then almost anything could qualify as a drug, be them sweets, food, tv, surfing the internet or playing video games, even exercicing could be a drug if you overdo it.

Or in short words, everything is bad and should be banned.

I don't know if you are doing a reductio ad absurdum there or a strawman. Either way I would say you are in the territory of some kind of fallacy.

There is an interesting discussion to be had on the nature of chemical addiction and psychological addiction for drugs but we had that thread a little while back, and is probably best left for another.

My point was that as far as harms go and societal taboos/moral busybodies sticking their beak in they thus could stand to be compared.

I think this is the best reply in the whole thread.

Someone advocating nofap and not calling them a bunch of unscientific cretins? Please.

I think that while they are extremists and exaggerate their claims there is some truth in what they say.

The best lies start with a kernel of truth. I am not sure what the particular truth is in this case but it is a well known concept.

I also reserve a special distaste for those that cloud their work with what you term extremism and exaggeration.

Jacking is normal if you don't jack too much. If you jack too much maybe 10 times in a day rather than semen will come out, it will be blood. One of worse thing you can imagine. LOL

Hentai is just as harmful, if not more.

Why I said at least. Once you're over the most degenerate kind of porn, the rest is easy.
