  PORN ADDICTION AND MASTURBATION:-  If you are watching porn every day for four or five hours neglecting studies and other responsibilities, and your porn usage is affecting your life in a bad way, then you are addicted to porn. If you feel like porn is the most important thing in the world and your life is just an interval between several sessions of porn viewing, you are a porn addict. So, let’s ask the most important question. How much porn is too much porn? Is watching porn a bad habit?  If you are watching porn twice or thrice a week, an hour each day, for releasing sexual tension, and if it is not disturbing your daily life activities, then it is ok.

Say you have an exam tomorrow, but instead of studying, you watch porn for hours, then it is definitely porn addiction.  Don’t make porn viewing a habit. Do it only when you get

  BOOK REVIEW: 4.5 stars out of Five .  Factfulness by Hans Rosling is a book that deals with various misconceptions about the world and tries to present the facts with bubble charts and averages. He points out that a piece of negative news is more attention-grabbing than a piece of boring good news and that's why our media bombards us with negativity.
