Porn doesn't actually relieve you sexually. The relief you feel comes from expecting relief, not from the act itself. What you think is satisfaction is a placebo effect shaped by the narrative around it.

We think that porn and masturbation will sexually satisfy us, but in reality, it's our expectation of being satisfied that satisfies us in the first place. Let me repeat: we think that porn and masturbation will sexually satisfy us, relieve us, but in reality, it's our expectation of being satisfied/releaved that satisfies us/releaves us in the first place. This is very important to understand this. We all know about placebos, but we don't realize that we have been doing placebos on ourselves just because we believe in these false narratives that came from this porn recovery movement, from this NoFap movement, from Your Brain on Porn, all of these ideologies.
