Dopamine isn't bad we release dopamine all the time. Dopamine from porn is bad because the Dopamine wires you to a computer screen whereas it's supposed to wire you to the real natural thing. So no, it's still not the same thing. Besides porn gives you an unlimited supply of Dopamine. You can't have an unlimited supply of prostitutes/sexworkers unless you are very rich. Even then the amount you will get is limited many people see the same sex workers and have regulars whereas porn is constant novelty always new. So it's not the same thing. As for those addicted to hookers and escorts. If you are rich which I am not that might be an issue. But again I already admitted the downside is it can waste your money.

That book is a form of therapy that can be done independently. I think you need serious help and that's the most affordable way to get it.
I've tried it. Anyone I've seen just gives me platitudes about how only I control my emotions and all that shit. Sort of like saying that if someone punches you, you ought to just stand there and smile while pretending it never happened.
Are you interested in learning the difference? You might find it to be very helpful for yourself. Maybe even life changing.
