Prior to watching this video about masturbation, consider the following:
There is a big difference between masturbating to one’s own fantasies and masturbating to porn, especially for an adolescent. Watching porn involves neither creativity nor imagination. Only relatively recently in human history has it been possible to masturbate to someone else’s fantasy, without even the creativity required to visualize the scene. This is not natural for our brains. To understand more about how harmful pornography can be for developing brains, access the Culture Reframed Parents Program Enrichment 1: Porn & the Brain.
