Congrats on being brave and having some common decency and sense. Boys can’t consent to modern internet porn use. It’s a total violation. We’ve been gaslit to oblivion. It’s absolutely anti-human.

Excellent essay. I can relate on many fronts as a heavy user between age 14-18. I kicked the habit for good after that and I am so happy for it. But I am frightened by what it did to me at the time and what it continues to do to millions like us. Porn is evil.

Thank you, Jake. It’s impressive you managed to kick the habit so early — many don’t even recognize porn as a problem until well into adulthood, let alone stop. You’re right: resisting porn isn’t about prudishness or virtue-signaling. It’s about confronting evil head-on.
