My bigger lie I tell is I used to masterbate, but I quit.

Let me play devils advocate for a minute, if you don't mind Adrian,
Research does show that repeated exposure to porn is not only addictive (lessening effective living behaviours), but also can effectively reduce real life sexual arousal through desensitisation.

Repeated exposure to the sun can burn my skin really badly.

Or let me be the devil

LOL.

But yeah, it's easy to point out that repeated or long term exposure to something can have some negative effect. It's bound to happen if you overdo/overuse just about anything.

That, however, is not what Pippy argues about.

Nah, it just makes one's tastes more sophisticated

See.... that's why I'm a little tetchy about revealing my transsexualism...

There are always people that assume it means I am "a guy who wants to be a girl"... and certainly I don't have to tell anyone how insulting and annoying that is?

As the saying goes; too much of "One" thing is never a good thing... In other words, extremities come into play....

I have no issue with porn, but overdoing something is not always good....


Pippy, are you afraid that you might get addicted to porn if you watch it? Or sex for that matter....?

Technically, that statement is correct, as in stating your perceived physical being and correlating it with the assumed appropriate form and setting that as a goal. Categorization strikes again!

Of course, people use 'want' in a variety of contexts, wherein tone can add disapproval or the opposite.

True, want can be used in several fashions. Though as I am not a guy, i cannot be "a guy (note the bold from before and now?) who wants (see borderline-mild 'need') to be a girl".

Simply put: I am a girl who needs to be a girl.

I know what you mean, it is a problem my ex-girlfriend (who is a transgender as well) and plenty of her friends had to contend with as well. It is however fair to note that we as human beings have little else then the exterior to go on, specially before one gets to know one in depth.
