Hi mj44,
Do you feel like it's interfering with your life? That is, is your desire to see porn interfering with work, school, or relationships?
My answer to your other post might also help you with this.

HI There,
Can you tell me why you feel like you want to be able to control this? Do you feel out of control?
What I hear you saying is that when you don't have anything to do, and you're feeling sexually aroused, sometimes you feel a strong urge to watch porn. I'm not hearing anything here that is harming anyone, including yourself, so maybe you can tell me some more about what you think is bad about this?

Not everyone uses pornography, but that doesn't mean it's not okay for people who want to to do so. And most people do masturbate, but even if they didn't? It'd still be okay.
The okay-ness of masturbation really is about the individual. Does it feel okay to you? Does it fit with your values and your life? Does it enhance your life rather than making it harder? If you're answering yes to questions like that, it sounds like it's okay for you.

Generally people think of jerking off as something that serves the purpose of pleasure, hence why it's often called self-pleasuring. It sounds like you think it should serve more use than that. IN general, do you think it's okay for you to experience pleasure that doesn't have any other purpose? Do, you, for example, only eat things for the purpose of nourishing you, or do you eat some things more for the purpose of the pleasure eating them gives you? There's no right answer here; just trying to see what your experiences have been.
If it's helpful to know this, there are benefits to sexual activity.

Anyone reporting a various position for masturbation as "deadly" is someone you can know doesn't have credibility.
Unless we're talking about the safety of say, masturbating with objects which can't be cleaned, or which can cause injury, like by too much suction or by cutting the genitals, you can safely assume that however you prefer to masturbate is just fine.
