What I also fail to understand is why there is such an enormous argument about ''Porn addiction'', with some people saying YBOP is ''pseudo-science''. I have also seen many articles on YBOP dedicated to the argument and correcting myths. However this does not make sense- whether one is an addict or not, merely using it, as is stated in YBOP; enough brain changes may have occurred to severely affect someone's life. So, what's the point of the argument for porn addiction if one needn't be an addict to be adversely affected whatsoever?
I think that the science is only useful as motivation to succeed in abstinence. Whether porn addiction is real or not, doesn't matter... In my opinion YBOP should take the stance that all activities related to a build up of ?FosB (PMO) and any of the individual components which lead to brain alterations and thus the psychological effects (Anxiety, depression, lack motivation, lack concentration, less working memory) which adversely affect people are bad and should be avoided. But instead, YBOP dedicates lots of it's articles to the argument that porn addiction exists and some articles even have the attitude that MO is good! Which seems to be contradictory if you hold the belief that YBOP disagrees with PMO. Frankly, the creator/s frankly don't care. With this bold contradiction to what the YBOP, reddit, Nofap and Reboot nation hold to be true from their experience and what they infer from the information on YBOP which they can relate to their own lives, we can assume that the purpose of the site is not to persuade lots of people, but just state the facts. Which is really weird since YBOP allows a community of people to overcome PMO who all hold the same view (PMO=BAD) with thanks to Reboot Nation and the accounts. YBOP's stance is exemplified where YBOP states ''YBOP is NOT an anti-masturbation website.'' This is obviously wrong to convey. In my opinion, if YBOP changed the view it conveyed and tried to catch a more of the affected public more people would be better off- Wouldn't YBOP aswell? YBOP would get more viewers, as everybody goes on it for help. Also we'd all be better if there were less misinformation on the internet claiming PMO was good for your health and if YBOP/Nofap/ Reboot nation were easier to find. We'd of all gotten over our issue earlier, especially if the dangers of porn were taught in schools. Thank you.
