    Honestly I partially see your point. Masturbation by itself isn’t necessarily bad, but the problem many people have (myself included) is that porn/masturbation can start to replace the real thing and take energy from you. First it’s a harmless activity, then a habit, then an addiction. And obviously we don’t get superpowers, but the feeling of regaining your energy from something that’s been draining it for so long is a very empowering feeling. And there’s so much positivity around both porn and masturbating that we’ve gotten to the point where children, even just 8 years old, find porn randomly and start a spiraling journey into the addiction. This stuff is more powerful than people realize and it’s doing a lot of harm.
