This isn’t really about porn at all - it’s about getting people the help they need. And while it may seem like a trivial thing to focus on this tweet when there are wider issues with internet porn, the reality is, these comments bring up an important point about where people look for help.

If you’re like me, you may have seen this tweet and initially dismissed it because it involved porn - an industry that has long-been been linked to objectification of women and sexual aggression.īut this conversation isn’t about whether or not you agree with porn usage - in fact, it’s actually irrelevant. The brain is a funny thing, and sometimes shit gets imbalanced up there. Like WalkerTexasNutter (great name by the way) said, find someone to talk to. I’ve been there and asking for help was the hardest damn thing I’ve ever done but it saved my life. You’re not alone <3ĭon’t be afraid to seek professional help man. You have a loving family and friends dont be afraid to ask them for help.
