There's almost a million addicts on the sub about no longer using porn. Surely a decent sample size to find out the effects. We already know it's bad, but men are in charge so don't expect anything to change.

It’s sad to think there is more porn on the internet than anything else. It’s even worse knowing there’s an incomprehensible amount of people who consume/make porn everyday, or do sex work/prostitution/deep-web-videos/rape and many other undocumented instances of all the things mentioned above. Let’s not forget the amount of people who simply dwell on the thoughts of engaging in those behaviors too. It’s a disgusting world out here.

I was surprised to see Florida on there, land of anything goes and all.

Also, I think I’ve heard enough on “If the DSM doesn’t consider it an addiction....”, which I’ve heard used by libfems and their ilk re: sex addiction. Yeah, well, the APA isn’t always immediately on top of things; we know porn can be as addictive as gambling. What else do you call something that you feel compelled to do even when you don’t want to, that is having negative impacts, if not addiction?

I think once compulsive viewing is officially considered a disorder, there will be more traction in terms of regulation and a standardized model for treatment, but unfortunately we are not there yet.

Humans, in general, are a very sexual species. Pornographic images, figures, and even sexual pleasuring devices have been found in countless ancient civilisations. That being said; rape, sex trafficking and forced prostitution is something that was also common to those same ancient cultures and is still found today. Except now, people have more ready access to all three of those in the form of video pornography and it’s explosion on the internet.

Curiosity about sex is normal. What is not normal is the obsessive amount of people who watch porn and if you were to ask them to stop watching it, would act as though you were some prudish religious nut job. Considering that kids of all ages now have access to all forms of pornography and that most pornography does not show safe, consensual sex, this can easily lead to increased acceptance of non-consensual unsafe behaviours. In addition, with increased pornography use also leads to need for more extreme pornography to reach orgasm. When it transitions into the bedroom, this leads to increased coercion to straight up assault/rape in order to try new sexual acts. Take one look at relationship advice and see how many young girls post about boyfriends/husbands taking advantage of them when they are in vulnerable positions and not consenting to the acts.

Women who go in to pornography of their own volition do so because they don’t have any other options. Often these are women who have instability in their life and need a job that can handle that instability. Ever since I read an article on how many pornstars commit suicide, I can no longer look at that industry as a positive for women because all it does it cause strife and pain for the actresses.
