I was just pointing out that you were arguing against something Streetshame never wrote.
But I'm gonna jump into this discussion and point out that stabbing yourself in the left arm to distract you from your broken legs actually works. Albeit briefly.
A bandaid on the other hand doesn't do anything except protect the wound and ensure that you don't accidentally make it worse. Which is a good allegory for masturbation. It won't fulfill your need for a sexual relationship but it'll at least prevent your libido from driving you insane.
But does that mean pornography is good? No. But the concept of pornography in and of itself isn't bad either. The modern porn industry on the other hand is bad as it is a cesspool of truly heinous individuals who like to exploit vulnerable young men and women and truly fuck them up for life.
It's not just exploiting it's the fact that it fucks up your brain. There is a reason why guys go to more extreme porn as time goes, normal porn no longer works. You can't hit that dopamine button at any time and expect to not have side effects. You end up with guys with ed where a woman having normal sex may not even do it for them.
We've always had virgins and we didn't have porn for most of history and yet guys managed and I would think better then now. There should be a solution without porn.
That being said, porn with AI and VR will be wild. Custom porn with what ever you want, where you can have actual conversations may be humanity's last invention. At this point only the very religious societies survive.

That's the case for men who already have an active sex life while getting addicted to porn. Sex addicts.
A virgin who's never had sex before will most definitely not have problems getting aroused if he or she finally gets some. If there'll be problems it'll because of nervousness which isn't anything new or unusual.
But yes a porn addiction will fuck you up like every other addiction will.

Porn has little to do with it. The relationship between men and women is completely messed up but not because of porn but because of social media and other far more damaging factors than porn.
But porn is generally extremely harmful to kids. Not adults though.
There should be a solution without porn.
Like I already stated porn isn't a solution. Porn and masturbation is incapable of being a substitute for physical human contact. Porn is if anything a bandaid.
Custom porn with what ever you want, where you can have actual conversations may be humanity's last invention.
Which shows that men (and women) seek human(-like) interaction.
At this point only the very religious societies survive.
Not because they don't have access to porn though but because the 'natural order' of human society is still intact.
