What's worse for you, masturbation or pornography, and why?

What's worse, a bullet to the brain or a bullet to the heart?

if by "masturbation" you mean using your imagination, then obviously porn is worse

Ah, now I see. Thank you, brother.

If you were to view pornography without masturbating, would that also be bad for you? Or would it increase your libido, since you would crave sex more?

Masturbation without porn is healthy every once in a while but watching porn is addictive and fucks with your brain, lowers test, kills any drive you have to persue an actual relationship.

I'd say pornography. I say this because pornography directly affects you psychologically. Now, I'm not saying masturbation doesn't do this too, but pornography tends to do this in a much greater capacity.

Not OP but what do you claim are the psychological changes if you were to go from watching porn to not, with no effect on your masturbation?
I don't think I'd mind all that much switching off porn, but masturbation definitely helps me gain focus after on things that need to be done i.e. chores and such

Youre over exposing yourself to solely visual stimuli that is at such an extreme level compared to what our ape minds would have seen thousands of years ago of course its going to have negative psychological effects. Libido increases when we see another female because our biological goal is to make as many children as we can and one woman is only going to need x number of poundings before she gets knocked up. The point being, that if you, anon, think you have a chance with a real woman, when you actually act upon that you have set yourself up for failure with a real woman because she is both only 1 person, and is made up of sensual experiences beyond just sight, which is what you have now trained your dick to only react to.

I don't know the part about jerking off and if that really does steal gains or not. We have to ask questions on, if the effects on your hormones peaks at 1 week like those nofap faggots say it does, then what is the death cycle of sperm in the sack? How much protein and energy is my body wasting by creating new sperm from all the times I jerked off?

pornography is worse. visualizing success is the first step to success. also when looking at pornography you are basically playing the role of a literal cuck, maybe not so much if it's POV but still

Porn
But they're both really bad if abused

Porn

OP here, thank you, my fellow patricians, for your wise words. I had recently taken up a month-long challenge of not viewing pornography, but I think I will also not masturbate as well. I have a girlfriend, so I don't think it will be too difficult.
