That's not true at all. The hormones associated with the senses of touch, smell, taste, even vision, i.e. REAL experience, are NOT released when you masturbate in front of a screen. Masturbation is natural enough in "moderation" because full-blooded men need to release steam, but it becomes unnatural when your hormonal system is taken off course on a regular basis and it becomes a compulsion (this is where the cooming meme originates).
Over-masturbation used to be regulated naturally since, to masturbate, you need to be both physically aroused and receiving a strong sexual stimulus. Porn's extreme stimulating effect and ubiquitousness today makes it so powerful that it can overload the whole sexual reward system in the brain, making you able to masturbate seemingly at will, and also compulsively (i.e. a coomer). This is similar to how drugs overload the brain's reward system to become addictive and all-consuming.
That all wasn't a problem before high definition high speed internet porn.
