This is the third time this week I've been on the floor for 20 minutes staring at my phone screen. The dopamine hit from scrolling porn is so strong it overrides everything else — hunger, fatigue, social anxiety. It's a chemical addiction and there's no shame in admitting that.
But here's the thing nobody talks about: gooning doesn't just make you spend hours on your laptop. It makes you emotionally unavailable to everyone around you. Your wife? Girlfriend? Friends? They're secondary to the screen now. And that's okay, because deep down we all know this is what addiction does — it isolates us and rewires our brains.
The shame keeps me coming back.
