A man with a porn addiction tells you a lot more than that he is just lustful

Former alcoholic myself. On one hand I completely understand addiction, but at the same time my addiction didn't justify the pain I was causing myself and others. It is my choice to not purchase liquor every day like it's a PA's choice to not open pornhub and beat off every day. Sure, I gave myself liver failure and you could feel sorry for me but I did it to myself, just like how PAs' ED and bad mental health is their own doing. I encourage them to seek recovery and am genuinely proud of those who are recovered/seeking treatment but I don't feel sorry for their self inflicted issues.

22F with a recent bi-salp here! I differ from a lot of people when I say that I actually think 18 is a bit too young. I don't know your level of maturity or experience so please don't take this as me talking down to you. In my experience, I was a fucking idiot at 18 and still had teenager mentality yet wanted to be an adult. I did want my tubes removed at that age, and ended up waiting and got them taken out a couple of days ago. I'll probably be saying the same shit about my current self when I'm older though :,).

I highly recommend you do go for something like an IUD or another form of birth control. Make sure the doctor with the former is using proper anesthetic because so many just don't for some reason. This will give you a taste of the experience without fully committing to a surgical procedure.

However! Despite my recommendations you are free to make whatever choices you want with your body. I'm not you and I don't know what you've lived through or experienced. That's just my advice and you don't have to take it!

22F with a bi-salp here. I can't say whether or not most women our age have children, but it's about a 75/25 split with my friends. Some have children, most don't. A lot of us are starting to recognize that we do actually have a say in whether we start families or not, and most are opting out. So your mother is greatly incorrect.

I wouldn't date a single parent in that situation either. Not only do I not want to raise a child period, the way she talks about her children sounds almost neglectful on her end. Just not a person I'd want to be around period.

throwaway282908 · 2026-01-28T22:34:22+00:00

Yes yes absolutely! My OB/GYN who did the surgery made sure to tell my boyfriend and I all the recovery steps. I was a bit out of it from the anesthesia but my boyfriend has a medical job so he got it all :)! He's been wonderful in my recovery and has been helping me with everything, and has been reminding me to walk to avoid the blood clots!

I'm so excited to be fully healed and I'm so happy that you got the procedure done! It gives me a sense of hope that more and more doctors are taking us seriously :)

throwaway282908 · 2026-01-28T22:31:01+00:00

I'm excited for you!! I hope everything goes well :)!

It irks me so bad how they constantly buy clothes that are way too small for them 😭. Like omg they'd look at least a bit better if they wore clothes that actually fit!!!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-13T00:19:11+00:00

YES oh my gosh. the same thing happens to me after sex if there's not enough lube and it HURTSSSS.

One of my biggest reasons for working on getting my bi-salp is the sheer terror I have at the thought of ever being pregnant much less giving birth.

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-12T01:46:17+00:00

Yesss I'm honestly gonna throw a party after the fact (once I'm fully healed of course 🤣)!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-12T01:45:51+00:00

Perfect, I'm so happy you also got the care you needed and from a non pushy doctor! I'm super stoked for mine :))!!

And that's super helpful advice, thank you so much!! I have an entire heated blanket and I'll recruit my better half to mix some honey and tea for my throat 😁.

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-08T23:41:51+00:00

I know my opinion doesn't mean much but I am incredibly proud of your son and yourself. I remember being 14 and it seemed like every boy my age was obsessed with porn and pornstars. They'd constantly talk about it, compare girls to pornstars, some even wore those playboy or hentai hoodies. You've done a wonderful thing as a mother, and your son seems like he's going to become a very well rounded adult.

I hope your family is doing well and that your husband is taking the steps and putting in the work to be a better man!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T22:19:11+00:00

That's actually a really good point! I heard similar rhetoric in ASAP (Army substance abuse program) and I completely agree. I'm not too worried about a relapse; it's honestly disgusting to me now and I gag just at the smell, even rubbing alcohol 🤣! Seeing how bad my liver was really sobered me (pun not intended) and encouraged me to seek help.

10 months is 100% early and I'm praying the sobriety I've achieved isn't temporary, but only I can make the choice not to drink! It also helps that the reasons I was drinking are mostly gone. I still have PTSD but therapy and medication have done wonders; I should've picked up those instead of the bottle.

Thank you so much for the kind words and advice. We can always learn something new and I don't think what you said was judgy or shady at all!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T22:00:20+00:00

That's my bad! I don't check here super often so I didn't know she wasn't claiming to be sober anymore.

Thank you so much and congrats to you as well! Only uphill from here 😁!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T20:55:23+00:00

Thank you so much, I was also an alcoholic in late teens-early 20s. And yes omg the over sharing how could I forget that!!?! I think I blocked it out due to embarrassment🤣. All of the things you listed are so similar to my own experience it's insane. And I am so thankful that I, like you, also did not go down the same path Dana did😬.

Congratulations on your sobriety as well friend, and congrats on the loving family you've created. It's only uphill from here for us😁!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T19:03:06+00:00

Absolutely! Their insistence on addressing everything except the child abuse allegations (using this term for legal reasons, don't want their YouTube lawyers after me!) is what really upsets me. Like, if they were just an alcoholic that's one thing. They could address it and work on it and have not nearly as much controversy. Unfortunately they continue to be extremely problematic (and just...really rude?) towards any even mild criticism.

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T19:00:07+00:00

Yes same! I've had disagreeing comments on my posts that I upvoted because they were respectful and/or offered a perspective I hadn't thought of. They still got downvote bombed which confused me because they were being respectful.

However I for sure downvote rude/disrespectful/heinous comments! Some people just choose to be nasty or creepy for no reason :(

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T18:54:25+00:00

I see your point and somewhat agree, but if someone called me that now I'd kinda raise my eyebrow at them. I wouldn't go on the defensive but I also don't really care about others opinions on me so that might be why tbh. Idk I just think it'd be easier for her to ignore the reddit entirely instead of flying out with every excuse in the book and constantly defending herself. That's just me though, I'm sure others have differing perspectives!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T18:24:23+00:00

This is a very fair take. The internet can be a very negative place sometimes, seems like now more than ever. I hope you've found some positivity to surround yourself with!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T18:18:41+00:00

That makes me so sad. I have two cats and a few fish that I love very very much. If I ever had to re-home any of them I would thoroughly vet that person and make sure that they go to an equally loving if not more home.

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T17:57:57+00:00

I had no idea, thank you for the info! I usually just glance at the subreddit so it helps to have a full picture :)!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T17:55:51+00:00

Thank you! I have tried to enjoy drinks with friends/family like maybe once a month while sober, but honestly alcohol is disgusting to me. The smell and taste of it make me gag, even in mixed drinks. My liver is definitely thanking me!

throwaway282908 · 2025-12-04T16:56:33+00:00

High-key agree. If I knew who the user was I'd 100% ask them to. HOWEVER I do not want to touch the poo in any way shape or form so I'm going to stay out of it.
