I noticed that myself a long time ago. Not watching porn makes you hornier, and the partner notices and likes it (at least my wife does)

Ideally you'd masturbate only 2 times a week and always using the imagination. Not only you get harder at sex but the load also comes pressurized, I've counted up to 5 squirts reaching up to 2 meters in distance. It's the stark difference between the Chad PS5 SSD Load VS the Virgin WiiU Crunchroll user droping a tear after jerking off to his waifu.

Porn is bad for you. Stop it!

[Elcid]

I thought this was common knowledge?

 

[Airola]

not sure i see the conflict, all this comes down to personal responsibility (and personality)

marriages fail for all kinds of reasons, pointing the finger at porn or this or that is a mistake

point the finger at yourself

You can say that about every single thing though. Food, intoxicants, ideologies, everything. I could just as easily say that people just shouldn't fall into identity politics, it's that easy to not get caught in that. But we all know that doesn't work. It is good that there are people who boldly say what the danger is in any subject matter out there.

Sure, personal responsibility is key in everything, but as we all are in more or less fallen state and we all have our troubles, vices, demons and cravings, it's also something to be considered to NOT make traps people can fall into. Responsibility should also go to those who are creating things that are easy for people to fall into.

I think the best way to deal with potentially dangerous things is to remember to blame both parties of the situation. Saying the person who fell down the hole is the only one to blame is wrong. It's also wrong to say the only person who is wrong is the one who dug the whole. Most of the time it's the mixture of the person who made the hole and the person who fell down the hole. So when you are at the bottom, you should always remember that while you are shaking your fist at the sky you should also remember your own part in the whole mess.
It's the age old chain of Adam-Eve-Snake. Adam likes to blame Eve. Eve likes to blame the Serpent, but God says no the whole chain is to blame.

All that said, I'm still part of the chain that promotes and enables pornography. I even wrote my bachelor thesis about porn, and not in the negative sense at all. But as I said before, just because I like it isn't a reason to not try to look at the subjects problems.

But it really is ironic to blame whatever for the destruction of traditional family structure in an attempt to defend porn. Because let's be honest here, it's probably like 1 out of 10,000 if not out of 100,000 porn products that doesn't do the opposite of promoting traditional family structure. If a porn film has a married couple in it, it most certainly has an extramarital affair as its plot line, or there's not that, then the married couple is a lesbian couple (seen that too, lol!). And we all probably react to this with "duh, of course!" which just shows how much we've conditioned to that. Now, sure some would say that there are a lot of married couples doing amateur porn, but as much as there are those, there are tons of more that are the opposite of that.

And again, I'm not saying I don't like porn. I'm just trying to keep it real and honest here.

Wait until the robots arrive...

Although if you actually have to physically fuck the robot then I guess I'll maintain my rock hard boners and engorged nuts.

VR porn on the other hand is probably gonna render a lot of men completely flacid over the next 10 years.
Brilliant, more robots for me to fuck

i blame the person who fell down the hole

we promote and enable things across various mediums, don't see much difference here and other excesses slash excuses people levy

Nah, if you dig up traps and seduce people to fall in them I think some of the responsibility falls on your hands too.

So when do they come for the Interracial porn?

I mean its pretty racist with all the N words and fetiziation of black men banging white women. And I am sure some black feminazi can link it to slavery, Jim Crow, and how its stealing black men from white women. Also the fact that the white women make more $$$ than the black men, the...

Porn is racist and a sign of whiteness. If you watch porn you are internalizing white supremacy. BIPOCs never masterbated or watched porn until the white man brought it to them.

Stop being racist and watching porn.

[eot]

Tbh I noticed this myself and I stopped watching porn a while ago. You do you, I don't judge anyone for it, but I personally feel done with it.

 

[Mistake]

I never watch porn, ya'll better watch out

 

[Rentahamster]

I mean, I don't even watch porn, but based on my experience, I can see why:

You need to find better women. What's your sample size? I don't mean to assume too much but you probably have seen much more women on social media just due to how prolific and easy to access it is. As such, you're vulnerable to availability bias.

[Dthomp]

Alot of factors play into this, it's not a simple porn is bad never watch porn argument. Hell, I feel bad for alot of young men today. They have no clue how to meet a woman in a regular setting like we used to, like a job, out in town, etc, so alot of them use the dating app scene due to it being easier (maybe the problem is laziness here...) and when you are constantly told you aren't good enough if you are under 6 Ft, don't make 100k, don't drive (Insert popular ride here), and are a 11/10 looker then don't bother, it may just be easier to go home and rub one out for them. IDK?

 

[DrJohnGalt]

I kinda agree with the article in OP. Talking from experience. But is porn the reason? Not sure. Just not into sex as much as was for my first 40 years. Not sure if it's too much porn or just that it seems like I've seen it all and done it all (well, all that I'm interested in). And you don't need an ugly partner to get tired of banging the same thing year after year. Even the hottest wife would get old after a while. That said, I was into porn in high school and could go on and on and on with or without somebody else in the room, so I don't know if porn is the reason for the lack of interest. But today I'm kinda burned out on porn and poon. I'd rather play video games. Maybe I'm just old

More porn, worse erectile function

A study has shown that the amount of porn a man watches is linked to worse erectile function. Watching porn is also associated with greater dissatisfaction with "normal" sex, with only 65% of respondents rating sex with a partner to be more stimulating than porn. This work is presented at the...

Did you ever had to go to your dentist, half asleep because you couldnt sleep last night and then the hot dentist woman comes up and you try to stay awake?

In my case... staying awake and fighting the sleepyness always leads to a boner..... it was kind of .... hard for me to fight it xD

I wasn't defending porn, because I don't feel it's something that needs to be either defended or attacked.

I was addressing appaws point that "millennial and zoomer generations are being fucked over by easy access to pornography".

I agree that men get fucked over in a myriad of ways in today's society, but I fundamentally disagree that having easy access to pornography is one of them. I am open to the idea that I'm wrong - please convince me otherwise.

Well due to my past lifestyle, I guess I have more badges than I even trust myself with. Simply sizable portion of women, absolutely work like that... I find good woman, but that does not mean, that my past experience are somewhat invalidated...

Were more of these wood log women in your younger days? You can probably chalk that up to them (and you) being inexperienced.

Sure it got better, but most often women who were older were better surely. My experince, I cannot comment on that. But I guess "golden fingers" at least meant I learn something. I don't know, I heard the reasoning, but obviously also unfit to the internet, because again. Get the fuck out with the humble brag, etc. Also women tend to exaggerate heavily what they can take it.

Does that mean you blame capitalism too?

Sure. It's not as if capitalism is the perfect economic system. It might be the best but it's far from perfect. Capitalism is a big reason for problems in porn industry, and in movie industry in general too. Capitalism is a double-edged sword quite often.

There actually are real studies showing that masturbation drops testosterone levels, while actual sex (only with women? not sure, but the study covered only heterosexual pairs) increases it.

10 hour workdays and insane deadlines are killing my boners. Sometimes I fantasize about robbing a bank and moving away to some third world country without extradition treaties.

Sometimes I am so tired after work I go straight to bed.

watch porn moderately

[oagboghi2]

Most guys can't get laid as much as they would like so porn comes in handy.

Ding ding ding

this recent "anti-porn" initiative, mostly coming from the right now, is so bizarre. Their are a ton of reasons people are having less sex, largely economical and socially oriented but instead of being honest about any of them, they want to blame pornhub.

 

[nush]

How about mastrubating with a condom?

That's called a posh wank. I remember that becuse there was this couple that I worked with and she found the boyfriend had condoms. They had been together for some time and she did not need to use condoms becuse she could not get pregnant.
So this argument played out in the workplace, "What are you doing with condoms when we don't need them!?". With a few colleagues looking on expecting this guy to get his dick ripped of and quickly become single simply replied "I use them for posh wanks". True or not I admired the guy for the quick thinking and saying that excuse in from of his colleagues. She believed it.

So guys if you get caught with condoms when your not supposed to have them OR she counts how many condoms are in your condom box and it comes up short, remember posh wank can save your life!

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Statistically speaking women never match the lifelong sustained levels of libido that men have. If that ever married up then porn habits would trend down.

Also people find it easier to masturbate than engage their partner or find a mate everytime they get horny. Let us not forget women watch porn too.

All that without the mention of how raising kids/family impacts a couple's sex life.
