>Hey man, i recognize the shemale in your pic
Kek, he's quite feminine looking, isn't he?
>until I was with an actual girl with a pussy and I just couldn't get hard.
I used to fap multiple times a day and still got erections just by hugging women tightly and for several seconds, lol. I wasn't addicted, though.
>but you have to be VERY careful about escalation
No, I don't think you NECESSARILY have to. I sometimes jack it off to very hardcore/taboo porn and still can go several days without masturbation and porn easily. I even abstained from both porn and masturbation for ~3 months in one ocassion too.
>and desensitization
Same thing. For instance, there are times I only masturbate to a certain category for weeks to the point I no longer find it exciting but eventually I go back to it with the same level of interest. Additionally there are spans of time vanilla stuff is what turns me on.

The use I give porn is similar to the use I and almost all people give to music.
>shit can fuck you up if you do it daily for years, depending in how you interact with it.
Not in my case. I have great coping mechanisms and have learned other ways to prevent and stop addiction with regard to this and everything in my life that has the potential to become a vice.
