Porn

[azucaramargo]

Single parenthood usually isn't enough on its own... the women I worked with usually had an extreme factor involved... A particular woman springs to mind who has MS and previously worked as a nurse. She had triplets and then a month later her husband died from undiagnosed cancer. The childcare costs alone made nursing shifts impossible. But porn and cam work completely fit her schedule and limitations due to her MS. She was forced by circumstance. Usual poverty isn't enough, there's usually something making that poverty extreme.

RocksandSand, you are nailing these rebuttals!!! Reading your writing is a privilege. Thank you for posting.

If you're a male who suffers from depression and anxiety, try giving up porn for at least 3 months. I know it sounds crazy but it can really change you as a person. Giving it up is far from easy and can make you feel like shit for a while, but give it time and you'll notice a difference in the way you feel about the world.

I wouldn't go as far as to say I was an addict, but I did see it every night (soft-core mostly). I tried that a year ago and made it 2 months and 1 week in and it wasn't even difficult but the instant my life fell apart, I went back to it because why the fuck not?

I'd noticed an improvement but I don't know if it was from the abstinence. From what I've noticed though, I'd say it would've been worth a shot years ago when I believed it was just christian propaganda when other users said they watched it and were still healthy and functional. Back then, a big reason why I used it was out of spite. Hedonistic pleasures that in a way I loathed were really all that I had and I wasn't going to give those up without reason. Maybe it was just placebo, maybe not.

Porn just happens to be one of the things that makes me happy, thoughout my life I always seemed to have a habit of some kind. Even back when I was 8, I was looking at softcore bondage and felt a certain way that led me to link masturbation with looking at those images. I guess I just kind of knew without understanding, if that makes sense.

I'm recovering from a long period of loneliness & sexual frustration and an even longer period of repression, during which I was definitely an addict and had to teach myself to use it in moderation. At this point though, I think my porn watching habits are finally healthy for me. Even now that I finally have a partner with similar libido & sexual interests (to keep it short & SFW, I'm not the slightest bit vanilla), we still watch and trade porn with each other because it makes us happy to be lewd. It feels great to be able to share that joy with somebody else.

I wish I could die while watching porn. Heart attack or something

Why not while having an intercourse?

That's better!

 

[End Piece]

No, but sometimes I use it to distract me from binge urges. I'd rather be horny than hungry.

 

[exhausted]

No. I know exactly what's it like to have no income security and having to take care of my little sibling. I also know I worked my ass of at multiple jobs to make that income. So why do you feel like porn was the only option?

The difference between the comparison you are making is that suicide truly is the only option when you want death

Human trafficking is a circumstance in which it is the only option for the woman. A lot more common than people realise, sadly.

Oh definitely, but iirc we were discussing girls who didn't get forced. That post was a long time ago so I can't completely remember.

No problem, it was a while ago, I just wanted to check people knew about the other side :)

I cant speak for anyone else but it usually made me feel bad after watching it. most scenes were to degrading or disgusting not like normal sex. some even seemed like rape. You couldn't pay me to watch that stuff again.

 

[Moonicide]

Not really. Porn doesn't do much for me, and lately it's hard to even want sex due to being depressed and absolutely out of it. It's hard to feel pleasure in those moments. And believe me, I've tried even in that mindset and it wasn't good. It wasn't fulfilling at all. It's almost as if my body rejects it.

 

[Woodnote]

I was never severely addicted but I used to watch it everyday. It feels good in the moment but after I feel worse. I know it's all meaningless but it just reminds me of lonely I am.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Porn is a waste of time. All videos are the same, only changes actors or people who appear on the videos. A total waste of time.

 

[KleinerWolf]

I personally don't expect much from porn and I'm aware it's fantasy.
Which is why it makes me feel good most of the time anyway.

I think hookups and sexual intimacy are great too,
it's just everyone's situation is different.

To each their own really, as long as you are comfortable.
It shouldn't be a deal breaker.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I've been scouring the entire internet for every single example of the one specific fetish I have that does it for me. It's not one I'd ever want or even be able to achieve in real life but it's the only kind of content that works for me. Luckily it's seemingly a relatively common type of category so it's easy enough for me to find it in American porn, Japanese porn, art pieces, webcomics, and even erotic literature/fan fiction. The content technically never runs out though there are periods of drought.

 

[almost_dead]

Anyone else here severely addicted to porn?

umm not severely addicted , but yeah who doesn't like porn ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

 

[Xiaomi]

When I was in my early teen years, yes. But now, it's pretty boring.

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

I do wonder what it has done to my brain and don't to make anyone else feel bad but a lot of it is unpleasant and reinforced by view that people are nasty.

 

[dieornottodie]

Anyone else here severely addicted to porn?

addiction is a relative thing, for me, i watch porn whenever i want to, get off on it, i dont make a big deal about it the same way the dogmatic groups do, to stop people from doing what they wanna do is a way to control the masses.

 

[meles_inoris]

Anyone else here severely addicted to porn?

It's one of the few things that makes me happy. The others are talking to my therapist (who's more of a friend than a shrink) and making music

I literally have over 13k favorited pics on e621

 

[alexit]

I'll disclose something I never have. I'm addicted to masturbating. I honestly think the sensation is stronger for me than other people. For me, it's narcotically strong. Porn is just the needle.

 

[Tortured_empath]

Yeah...

 

[StringPuppet]

Yes and I hate myself because of it
