This also has to do with the type of porn though. If I'm over here watching Japanese gravure models, UK lad's entertainment models, or just 'bikini haul' videos on Youtube, and next door, some guy's watching gang bangs, BDSM, fake-titty chicks getting banged by dudes on Viagra, and going "You know? Porn is a problem. I think everyone should give up porn." Hmm... well counter point here: "Maybe your porn is a problem- namely, your problem, and you should give up your porn if you feel that way."
Don’t fall into the SJW mindset of overthinking relatively simple situations in order to find justifications for behaviors. It’s much healthier (and more masculine) to instead try to identify the fundamental empirical situation and work from there to try to deduce if a certain behavior is rational and beneficial or not.
That idea using porn as an example would be like this: The only reason we watch porn and masturbate so often these days is because it’s easy to access. Your ancestors, for thousands of years, lived perfectly happy lives without easy access to porn. It shouldn’t be a big deal at all to cut out porn, given that you come from a long line of successful men who also did not watch the stuff.
Lol... just a quick anecdote but... during my field research, I've run across no shortage of antique dealers with centuries-old highly explicit erotic art/pornography (America- yes, but much older items were found when I was abroad in Nepal, China, Japan, etc.). I didn't purchase any of these because, for starters, they are quite expensive, but they also aren't related to my area of study. Anyhow, back on topic, if your life is better for not having any porn whatsoever, then all the more power to you. Let's not kid ourselves about our ancestors not having porn though. They did. So do I. Other people's addiction to porn isn't my burden. But by all means, no nut November for whoever wants or needs it.
What a wild career haha that must have been so fascinating!
I mean, I agree with you to a point. But vices aren’t a new phenomenon either. They had booze and drugs back in ancient times too. What is the best way to make sure you never become addicted in a life-ruining way to any of those vices? To refuse to indulge your temptations by avoiding them altogether. Always will be too.
Exactly! And so would we. But we choose to use some of those regardless for the simple reason that they enhance our lives and society. How exactly does porn meet that criteria?
Yup porn is the issue. People who watch it regularly and jerk off regularly dont watch the same stuff now as when they started porning/jerking. Or maybe its just me lol
I think one of the biggest things with masturbation is the porn use. Excessive porn is the real problem
I don't always watch porn, but when l do I only watch lesbian porn. No idea why a straight guy would want to watch another guy fucking.
Based
unless it was OP with his wife
To be honest I've seen enough dick pics with that meth head.
I for damn sure don't want to watch myself.
Same lol.
Same lol.
