The fear of being arrested is my latest obsession: I'm convinced pornography i looked at in the past will get me in trouble but my friend and my dad's friends have done the same things and they're fine. It's both shameful and fearful and doesn't ever let go and my stomach and my chest are so sore

I was the same, I started looking at pornography when I was 18. After buying my first pc. I became very anxious a lot of the time, whenever there was a knock at the door or the phone would ring. I would think... it was the porn police, or some government officials. Coming to speak to my parents, to let them know I was going to be prosecuted for looking at porn. The anxiety spikes of anticipation when a knock came to the door or the phone would ring... 😬 But nothing ever happened, there was never anything to worry about.

You’d be on a watchlist first, not automatically go to prison.
