The third one you bring up rings home for me, absolutely. I attempted different perspectives and extremes to break my own cycle, most of them never hitting the root cause for depression. It wasn't until I opened up to my girlfriend about what I wanted in our sex life that I began the steps towards a satisfying sexual relationship. A few weeks passed by and I noticed I wasn't surfing "sexually gratifying websites", I just didn't need too. Yea, pr0n isn't a bad thing, nor does it exclusively cause depression. In my case, it was an escape. Like with anything else, overtime the escape is problematic and will muddy the waters. ...anybody ever watch that episode of Coupling where Jeff talks about Cpt. Subtext?
