i guess these are studies that indicate the harmful effects. but, the question was about whether quitting porn can make people happy. i guess that's not quantified. also, happiness is quite difficult to quantify in general.

The username and the obsessive refs by the person you're responding to make me want to totally dismiss him. You see that kind of stuff a lot with this particular topic.

HOWEVER, many people simply want to change their own behavioral patterns and have a hard time doing it. Will they be measurably "happy" if they succeed? That's not the point. There's value in being able to do something (or stop doing something).

None of these things are ever going to be "quantifiable" in a practical sense.

Can it make you happy? Probably not. Can it make you more happy? Almost guaranteed.
