yeah i joked around with my teacher about how when kids don't lock the doors in the restroom or else others will think they're masturbating.
as for the porn issue, I have already spoken to my school therapist about this. I asked him about masturbation and he says that when he was young, he associated with friends who watched lots and lots of porn. I was wondering, doesn't porn work just like cocaine? it leaves you trying to go back to it and trying to satisfy your void in your life. gosh, man...i'm sick of watching it. he told me that and i was a bit surprised like i didn't think that he, a man who grew up in a loving family, would actually be involved in this...
i then went back asking him when i was stop masturbating and he's all like dude you're hormones are still firing and i'm just thinking gosh if other kids who never touched that stuff then that means i shouldn't either and why should i if i already have a reason not to. don't my hormones know what i want?
i tend to digress a lot so if there's anything that you would like to clarify, please let me know.

Humans are biologically wired to want to have sex. In fact, it isn't a desire, it's a need. Our bodies and brains require sex/sexual activity to maintain physical and psychological health. Masturbation is completely natural and completely healthy. It is common throughout the animal kingdom and there are articles upon articles written by scholars on the health benefits of masturbation.
Porn is not like cocaine. Cocaine creates a physical need within you to have more cocaine. Before ever trying cocaine, your body doesn't want or need the drug. Porn and masturbation fulfills a pre-existing human need to have sex. It is not at all like cocaine and it's in fact more like food. We need food to survive. Some people, however, do use food to fill an emotional void and in that sense it becomes something like an addiction (I hesitate to call it an actual addiction because it is technically a form of an eating disorder). However, just because some people have problems with "food addictions" should we avoid eating all together? Of course not! It's the same thing with masturbation/porn. Our bodies need sex! The "void" you describe and how we keep wanting to go back to it isn't because of the porn but instead because of a natural biological hunger for sex. It doesn't matter how much of a loving family you come from or how perfect your upbringing was, you will have sexual urges.
Why do you feel so guilty about this? Why do you think that porn and masturbation is wrong?
