  • Just don’t mention the pron part if it’s illegal and you are affraid. AFAIK masturbation occurs with all hominids, and many mammalians. So discussing an addiction with a medical professional should stay secret within the doctor-patient privilege.

    But… Make sure it is an addiction. Does it prevent you from living ? Are you organizing your life around it? Do you rub it off to the point of damaging skin (on more than one occasion) ? Does it replace available sex with a willing partner ? These are the real questions you need to assess.

  • For me it’s just a dictionary trick.

    Old definition was defining Art as transforming nature for the purpose of a human.

    usual definition is something human made that someone finds pretty.

    Contemporary art definition is making something that makes people react / feel. Performance art went all the way to saying that what the artist felt made it art.

    If you hide it on purpose, the hiding itself may be contemporary art (similar to Once upon a time in Shaolin bu Wu Tang Clan). A hidden piece by an unknown artist may be considered art according to the performance art demonstration.

    So… Choose your definition, similar as the sound of a tree falling in an empty forest (is sound a pressure wave or the brain processed signal?)

    Edit: linguists will just say art is whatever sufficient people believe it means.
