I actually encourage my partners to watch porn for ideas to keep things interesting.
It's actually how I discovered my new favorite position. 😅
Bringing things into the real world isn't always a bad thing.
I personally don't care for some of the expectations some people have because of porn, but that's a different story.

We both watch it together mainly for the exact same reason, get ideas and it’s good background noise 🤣

It’s a symptom of a society where people lack the social mechanisms to create a human connection

[Sh****]

I would say addiction to anything is bad. Too much of a good thing and all that jazz.

To each their own

They’ll burn out eventually. I used to love it but now it’s just better finding a connection.

And if no one I’m interested in ever returns my interest in connecting…?

[pr****]

I like making it

[Eu****]

I am porn addicted when my life is boring or the stress level is highest, so I think it’s a symptom rather than a lifestyle actually

[pi****]

Im addicted to porn. I started watching it when i was ** just being curious. I regret that so much now. Its been 7 years and i have a problem. Maybe i do it because im at home all the time doing nothing, maybe i am using it to cope with my mental health problems. Idk why i do it but i wish i never did

[ey****]

I'd say I could stop at any time, but then there's always the option to make more.

Nothing wrong with porn...legal of course. I hate that they are blocking access to all the good sites in my state. Sheesh! I could see if they were illegal or exploitative, but they don't fall in that mess. With all the kinks and fantasies, it just feels like there not many avenues to express it these days.

Im a gooner, and I cant experience femdom gentle encouraging me to enjoy the insane pleasure of worshipping and getting lingered and being called a good boy without porn.

[Sa****]

Just an interesting thought. I before starting estrogen would indulge nearly daily, since then I haven't spent any time doing so,why? Because it no longer appeals to me anymore

[Pr****]

I always felt porn addiction was a fake term really only used in christian circles to ostricize people who like porn. If a grown adult wants to watch porn of grown adults, even if its all the time, I see no reason for that to be any worse than playing games or watching football.

[Pu****]

It’s healthy and fun. I see nothing wrong with it and it give great ideas to expand your sexual experience. I watch porn lol

as a slightly more serious comment

There is no evidence that Porn Addiction is real. The whole "anything is addictive" isn't entirely accurate.  

But Porn Addiction isn't diagnosable. There are also no physical or mental dependancies like other addictions.  

A lot of the "self help" hubs for Porn Addiction are set up by religious fundamentalists.  The big issues are often around morality.  So a lot of groups that push the notion of porn addiction are those from a morality standpoint of "porn is bad".  Individuals may also have their own moral struggles, but it's ultimately easier to accept if they can blame it as an "addiction" rather than admit they are doing this of their own free will.

The side point of course, is people genuinely believing they are addicted is something which can hurt the individuals wellbeing. You are not addicted, you just enjoy it. And that's fine.

People that watch porn are the ones that truly exceed the expectations in the world of kink.’ . With out it we would be well you know. Average . I don’t believe in addiction other than chemical and I guess if we do something long enough it’s a choice and habits. But everyone has those !

[Re****]

The porn industry has a ton of problems, and there's a lot bad with it, but videos of people having sex aren't bad. Getting turned on by them is OK. Masturbating frequently is OK. I think masturbation is normal and people should do it if they feel like it (at home).

All the redpill and mainstream stuff online making fun of masturbation and gooning, especially by men against men, is toxic and probably harmful.

I think it becomes an addiction when it interferes with your everyday life to where you can not function without it.

If there is such a thing as sex addiction, there is such a thing as porn addiction imo. If you watch porn too often, there can be consequences: masturbation is healthy in general but as many other things in life, excessiveness can affect your psych and body. Habits or conditioning your psych and body will later affect your sexual behaviour and ejaculation/orgasm.

If you do end up relying on porn for whatever reasons, you should understand how it may affect you and what you should do to decrease the effects or how to balance the intensity.

I think it destroyed men. Possibly the USA

[Ve****]

It’s definitely a problem. Men won’t romantically pursue a woman in reality bc they’d rather shop/pay for someone out of their league online. Men are also delusional bc of porn… calling Margot Robbie mid… like they’d even have a chance.
The solution? More men need to lean into being submissive. Let a woman tell you in person what she wants and LISTEN TO HER. BE the fantasy instead of watching it. Feels like common sense to me, but if y’all want to continue to pay for it… by all means go for it. There is no ROI.

Men have rewired their brains to get off watching guys with big d**ks f**k chicks. Which does not include them at all. In my 20s I f**ked loads of married women and not one even thought of their man watching. I’ve been on this app a month and 4-5 guys have asked to watch me f**k their wives. It’s as obvious as can be what happened to men.
