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.
Thank you kindly. hat tip You're right with regards to vices. There is some satisfaction in scratching and itch, but yes, it would of course be better not to itch at all. I guess I'm not there yet. Cheers~

The human condition, I suppose: that which we shouldn’t have is always more tempting than being virtuous!
