i was just pointing out the toxicity of pics culture

no one is saying things are bad because they're different. the problem with this discussion is that it almost comes back to this type of argument equivalent to posturing as if someone is saying "is bashing your skull against a rock good or bad" and then the dichotomy presented in response are "well he wasn't doing it a year ago so it's bad/good" or "well there's nothing intrinsically wrong with bashing your skull against a rock".
You're looking at things too much on a macronomic level for no reason. No one is trying to correlate p*** to things like rate of incest/rate of rape/rate of fertility - these are concepts which are at the behest of tons of factors at once, to try to pinpoint an increase/decrease on p*** would be stupid and clearly biased. What is not clearly biased is pointing out that some behavior clearly has negligent effects on mental health. No one is talking about this in this thread from the angle of being a prude either - hence why there has been a clear separation of "porn" from "masturbation".
Rather than just linking a bunch of studies though, which is stupid because I certainly don't subscribe to the school of thought that linking a study = automatically winning an argument, I'll just say this - the issue with widespread and addictive p*** usage has nothing to do with differentiation of behavior or culture. This is why we're not here arguing about the morality of Cardi B or Megan Thee Stallion's music or something - we're specifically arguing about porn - like children's access to tons of p***, not children's access to media; if I was arguing about culture or "degenerates" or something I would obviously be in line with what you point out as arbitrary - but no one is.
What I'm saying is that the behavior that p*** shapes is not "different", it's actively harmful. Do you think that men dehumanizing women isn't harmful? Like let me give you a great example. Do you think 100 years ago men categorized women as fetishes by alluding them to p*** categories? "Gotta get me a latina/ebony/etc b****" type s*** - viewing women as if they fit in a p*** category you like rather than liking them as an individual? This is just one of possibly hundreds of societal behaviors which is clearly the result of early exposure to p***. I'm sorry but you can't tell me that teenage boys thinking they're entitled to s***if they go through some motions or teenage boys having a perception of reality which is the summation of events relative to p*** isn't harmful. How about body issues from p***? From men seeing massive fake p*** d***s since they're 8 and then developing a complex around it. There are so many bodily intricacies which people never would have even thought of years ago - that s*** is damaging, it's not just a difference.
And the same happening to girls. this isn't just a "oh feel bad for young boys" thing - girls arguably have it worse. They have to deal with body issues or feeling like their sole role is to fulfill a script presented to them to men. And that's not even talking about role s***. Like people thinking certain things are natural or okay because of p*** - like normalization of predatory relationships and young kids thinking it's normal because they've been watching p*** since before their frontal cortex has even half formed to be able to rationalize reality.

Crazy, because last night I had a dream it was the morning and I was laying in bed… then Billie Elish came through my front door on all fours then put her face on the edge of my bed like a dog and then asked me if I wanted to play…

Wild, because I can barely name 2 songs by the chick.

Wild seeing this site go all out on the “porn is evil, degeneracy around every corner, it’s bad for your brain” hysteria.

I was like 13 or 14

P***ologists itt

p*** is so wack

P*** is not the main problem but part of it. Young niggas are just having less s***(or none). Social media is another problem

feds did a sweep in this thread

Maybe because a lot of men have been negatively affected by it and are speaking from experience.

Most men are exposed to it at a young age and only start to know how badly it’s affected them when they try to quit or quit for long periods of time and see the benefits.

If these white b****es gotta come out and denounce p*** for it to be recognized as a bad thing then so be it

She’s right in the sense that it desensitizes you, especially if you started looking at it at a young age, which is probably the norm for Zoomers.

Rough s*** seems to be really popular for women though. Don’t know how wild her expectations were but I feel like if everyone is consenting with how far things will go it’s not that weird.

I feel like dudes have waaayyy more f***ed up psyches from p*** that women do.

You stay on my d***

Women don’t watch p*** as men do they’re more into erotica.

Men get aroused visually while for women it’s more mental.

Her team really let her do Howard Stern? Weird, idk why she would wanna do that, obviously he would get this out of her

This is how our generations grew up tho. I was 11 years old, just finished elementary school and me and my friends thought we had to lose our virginity before junior high. We saw 2 girls 1 cup at age 10

Y’all boys better stop looking at that s*** and busting on yourselves all the time.

Tubgirl
Lemonparty
Blue waffle
Pain Olympics
Goatse
Etc.

There’s just as many studies that show the negative effects of it to be exaggerated. A lot of the studies that do show the supposed harm are perpetuated by anti s***worker organizations. A large majority of Americans statistically watch p***. Most people seem to be fine. Sure we all can agree children shouldn’t have access to it and addiction is an issue with anything, but it’s not worth the hysteria in this thread.

Yup, I saw all that before I saw regular p*** I think. First thing was meatspin

But if you look at the experiences of men who have quit p*** and masturbation their lives have changed for the better. There’s websites like YourBrainonPorn that show thousands of testimonials from men on how quitting p*** has improved their lives.

There’s also hundreds of ex-pornstars who have come out to speak against the p*** industry and how exploitative it is, etc. also take into account how many p***stars are abusing d**** and alcohol and how many have died from suicide and overdose. It’s not a big industry either because most of the movies come out of one city yet look at the state of it.

I don’t see how anyone can see p*** as good tbh.
