Wow. Relax, I’m not on a crusade against porn. Many of you are addicted to porn and are in denial, or don’t know it. I’m not saying all types of porn in all amounts and methods of consumption are bad. The types of porn that are popular and seen in the gifs on that site and the method in which it is being consumed can have detrimental effects on our brains.
If you care all you have to do is a quick google search. Here are the Wikipedias on porn and infinite scrolling compiling multiple sources.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_pornography
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomscrolling
I doubt me providing you a link or two is gonna change your beliefs. I’m presenting the issue and it’s up to you to decide.
Just think about the types of porn that is popular, how that is vastly different from what a healthy sexual relationship is like, and how the compounded effects of “doomscrolling” could affect your relationship with yourself, your sexual partners and society in general.
More importantly, don’t keep the discussion limited amongst other men. Go ask women about their sexual experiences. You’ll find that a lot of guys are engaging in sex in the same way they engage with porn and humans really can’t compete.
