I know that pornhub statistics even exist only because of the subreddit r/DataIsBeautiful which is focused on data and pleasant visualizations of it.
Okay my apologies lol.
Again, correlation is NOT causation.
You continue to repeat this sentence. To which I have already said in some cases it's true, but there's definitely more to it in this case.
Furthermore, you didn't acknowledge the direct quotes, so I will repeat one of them for you. Ted Bundy said word for word, "I've lived in prison for a long time now and I've met a lot of men who were motivated to commit violence just like me and without exception, every one of them was ā¦ deeply influenced and consumed by an addiction to pornography."
Now I never said this was the only variable involved with their actions (of course you brought up some valid points like alcohol and sexual abuse which are most certainly direct variables and contributors), but it's kinda crazy how every single one of them happened to have this in common as well.
Really what it is that I disdain is hedonism. And things like porn, alcohol, video games, things of that nature all fall into that category. Just mindless things meant to spike your dopamine. I'll get more into why that's bad in a second...
You can also get addicted to video games and you can also get addicted to sex. Porn is just being demonized here.
You also mentioned video games and yes I agree you can get addicted to that. I'd say demonizing is a bit of a strong word but sure we can go with that. And yeah for the record I don't believe video games are as bad, but video game addiction (same as porn addiction) causes instant gratification. It causes spikes in dopamine (the brains pleasure chemical, basically) and if you overload your brains dopamine receptors with things like video games, porn, etc, all of the time, it can literally damage your dopamine receptors inside of your brain. If you do it enough then it can cause permanent damage. Meaning that even if there is dopamine present, your brain will not be able to detect it. They did a study on rats by blocking their dopamine receptors, and the rats willingly tried to starve themselves to death. Imagine what happens when that happens to you. Additionally, even if you're lucky enough to not permanently damage your dopamine receptors, your body needs to remain at homeostasis. Meaning that after a large dopamine spike, your dopamine levels will absolutely plummet which leads to severe depression. So according to studies on neuroscience and the chemicals in our brain, in many ways, living hedonistically like you are promoting literally causes depression and suicidal thoughts. But hey if that's what you're into I guess I can't stop you.
Penises aren't bananas. Bananas don't have foreskin much less excessive foreskin. TMI, but it wasn't trivial for me to learn and google did not help.
No I don't want a teach to whip their dick out, I never said that.
Okay you are right about that. A banana is not the perfect representation. I wouldn't have to worry about that specifically, but I guess if they really wanted to, they could give a brief description on how to go about it in sex ed. Other than that, not much else is needed with common sense.
While I do believe more people would use condoms if they were educated on how to use them in sex ed class... that does not mean there needs to be a video demonstration in school. And okay my bad you did not say what I said you did about the sex ed teacher whipping out his salami and doing a demonstration. But I was kinda just joking, but to be fair if there is not a physical demonstration on a real man's salami then I don't know what more you'd like to show to these high school students. A video? Like I said that's just not it man. It's unnecessary and doing too much.
Sex education can be more than just safe sex and STDs and preventing unwanted pregnancies.
You are right about the creampie stuff though. In Brazil all porn studios are required by law to have their male actors wear condoms, funny enough.
But with sex education, understanding that the women in porn having raw sex are constantly tested for STDs and are on birth control is also relevant.
Hmm, I never knew that about the brazil porn studios. You learn something new everyday lmao.
Preventing STD's and unplanned pregnancies should definitely be the most important things taught in sex education. You recommended that students should be taught on how women in porn are tested on STDs and are on birth control... but it's literally illegal for porn sites to even show pornography to people under the age of 18, so it's incredibly unlikely that public schools would even consider going over things like pornography in their curriculum.
But I see where you are coming from though. Even if it's illegal, the majority of highschoolers probably watch it anyways.
I feel like you're coming from a very narrow perspective of monogamous relationships. What about open relationships? What about swinger culture? Do these kinds of couples not respect each other? If both (or all) parties are happy, and no one is getting hurt, I don't see why shame sex lives at all.
Okay I made a false assumption, my fault. You just really seemed like you'd be into that stuff based on the way you've been talking.
But in regards to monogamous relationships, yes I am
definitely against them
especially if they're a parent. A child needs a father and a mother. This is undoubtably true and widely common knowledge among sociologists. There are an infinite amount of articles and studies to back this up. If you think kids are better off growing up with parents in a polyamorous relationship, then you've gotta be on the spectrum as a psychopath. When you bring kids into the picture, they deserve unconditional love from 2 parents. Not 3 "parents" who spend all their time chasing dopamine like a bunch of addicts.
Even without the kids in the picture, if you truly allow yourself to be in a polyamorous relationship, it's hard to say that you have any respect for yourself.
Polyamory is heavily glorified, but this video kinda shows the reality of what it is...

Open Relationship by MillenniaThinker
My dad was an atheist and would hate the idea of me kissing another guy, despite having no Bible to back him up. Religious affiliation doesn't necessarily correlate with conservative/liberal values regarding sex
Oh wow that's pretty cool, I didn't know your dad was atheist, interesting.
But yeah for sure, religious affiliation definitely does
not always correlate with conservative vs liberal viewpoints on sex. That was exactly my point. Just like your dad is atheist and happens to have conservative views on sex, I am also similar. Which is crazy because on average it's vise versa. But our science has been developing so rapidly recently that more and more educated people have been becoming Atheist. Then more people started living with their liberal values in regards to sex (due to a lack of religious bias), but the critical thinking atheists are starting to see the drawbacks to society due to those values and despite not having a religious bias to support conservative views, they support conservative views on sex due to the effects on society.
Now getting back on topic, similarly to your father, if I had a son I'd obviously prefer he was straight. However, if he was gay and there was absolutely no changing that then I'd still 100% love him as a person. So I'm not some conservative extremist in regards to my views on sex. Now when it comes to being transgender, I do despise that stuff for a large number of reasons, and we could debate that all day on why it's not right, but it also depends on the context of the situation (transgender porn, transgenders competing in sports, transgenders in bathrooms, etc.), that's a
whole other conversation.
Interesting wording. Any issues with non-comittal sex?
For clarification, by "committed relationship" I meant a couple in a monogamous relationship. And yes, I think sex between 2 people who are in a serious relationship is 100% natural and healthy.
My problem is not sex between 2 consenting adults in a monogamous relationship. My problem is people trying to normalize cuck behavior of someone watching 2 other people having sex and getting off to it (aka porn). There is a big difference between real sex with a woman you love, and spanking your monkey to some pixels on a screen. I mentioned earlier that our simple brains cannot distinguish between the 2 and you seemed to have a problem with that, you're thinking about it the wrong way. Our conscious mind can, but our subconscious mind cannot. I mean if you can masterbate and watch porn and get yourself to cum.. your brain 100% thought it was having sex. There's no argument there. That's why you came in the first place, if your simple brain knew it wasn't actually having sex then you wouldn't get a boner from just simply looking at women on your phone. You wouldn't get arroused in the first place. Like I said, the "animalistic" side of your brain (for lack of a better term) does not know how to distinguish between real sex, and the artificial alteration of your touch, visual, and auditory senses. There's a huge difference between porn and real sex and you're trying to not only convince yourself, but others as well that there's nothing wrong with it. Desensitization to this porn bs has just been one of the major factors the downfall of our society in the West (of which there are many other factors).
And expanding on my points about polyamory, it's been increasing rapidly in our society these past few years alone. Our media is filled with terrible role models that are fucking with the minds of some young men, and apparently you too.. no offense. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that the desensitization to porn is something that may have contributed to increases in open relationships / polyamory.
I dare you to watch this youtube video. Shits funny as fuck, but also just sad. It's about Adam22 who let his wife get piped by another man. Whole video is just him coping and towards the end of the video he sounds like he's holding back tears.
