The prevailing cultural narrative is that porn is destructive and damaging for society, but I want to push back against that. According to recent research around 1 in 3 men are not sexually active. And we can assume that dating apps don't work particularly well for these guys.

Approaching women in public is unlikely to work for men who are not successful on dating apps, and approaching women at the workplace is just asking for a sexual harassment complaint.

So where is all this pent-up sexual desire supposed to go? Porn is the natural and healthiest outlet. In a society where no one owes anyone anything, it makes no sense for men to put control over such a base need in the hands of another group of people. Porn, like all medicines, has its drawbacks and should be used in moderation. But the good far outweighs the harm.

It also prevents rape and sexual assult. https://slate.com/culture/2006/10/proof-that-internet-porn-prevents-rape.html
