I realize that some people do, in fact, use pornography to cope, but please understand that it’s not healthy from any perspective. If Tumblr 18+ content ban is freaking you out because you’re going to lose your emotional crutch, please consider seeking help from a professional.

I saw people objecting because “but what if we don’t want to use other websites!!” like if porn is so embarrassing to you in any context but tumblr, then you’re figuring out that it’s a problem and you need to fight it. Praying for anyone who’s dealing with this addiction and realizing what a negative impact it’s having on their lives.

I personally doubt that tumblr is gonna effectively ban ALL porn (because of how inept their bot detectors seem to act), but for those freaking out about it: Fight The New Drug has a bunch of resources and tips for those wanting to kick their habit. It’s secular, encouraging, and constantly cites research.
