porn and women

[Mister Agenda]

Mostly neutral. Hasn't changed my view of women in general nor my actions/interactions with them.

Do you fear porn?

Depends on what you mean by fear I guess. I think it is unhealthy for society and detrimental to women, so in that sense yes I suppose.

I doubt any causal connection, but it does raise the bar to maintain the opposite: If you were to graph the rise of porn in U.S. society and various outcomes for women, you would find the increased availability of porn to be positively correlated to reduced teen pregnancy, reduced rape frequency, improving pay, and lower death rates from complications of childbirth. If porn has a negative effect on women in general, as opposed to the women who participate, which is a separate question, it's not obvious.

Wow real life Peterson cultist .Yeah remember that interview funny how everyone overlooks the fact he lied throughout that whole interview and choose her because THEY gets his ass kicked whenever he debates an actual academic.

Cultist? I'm not even a fan of his, he makes some good points and some not so great points. Nice straw man though, I thought atheists didn't use fallacies?

This one only tells us that porn activates the reward center.  Lots of things do.  And?

It's also important to distinguish between the question of whether porn changes the brain, and whether porn changes the brain in ways that are significant, harmful, and damaging.

Addiction for example does change the brain and how you interact with the world and others.

Everything we do changes our brains in some way.... Memory formation is a brain change.
Watching porn has the potential to impart upon certain people a warped notion of how society works concerning sexual relations...

Should I, a healthy (I hope) individual give up on watching porn? I don't think so... it helps with the release of certain other necessary hormones that aid in the proper functioning of everything.
I do notice that, when I'm with someone else that takes care of my sexual needs, I spare no thought towards porn. But when I'm not.... it comes back.
If the majority of people are like me, then I don't see is as a problem.

Not all things that alter your mindset are equal, this is just more marxism outta you guys.

Sure, I'll even include a liberal source just so I don't get any guff.

Thanks, seen that. This addresses addiction. I'll agree that addictive brains are different, I own one. 

But you stated that it changes brain structure. Neither of these articles addresses changing structure. 

So, which came first, the addictive brain or the porn?

Edit: Interesting avatar.

You've seen this evidence but reject it's premise, fine by me if you don't want to admit porn has negative consequences on the brain and it's neurology.

We change our neural pathways everyday. And the brain chemistry changes too. Sometimes you feel good, sometimes under the weather.

As to porn google lemon party.

Okay so then there's nothing wrong with watching anything under this definition, smut, crush porn, pedophilia, it all changes the brain who who cares? smh, these marxists man.

I would say casual viewing can be fine. I think if someone becomes addicted to it, meaning they forego intimacy with their partner for porn and self pleasure, that can be damaging.

See, I think this is finally a fair assessment, thank you. If it's something you barely do, it's whatever. But these people I quoted seem to be laissez faire porn advocates and very hostile.

The bar for marxism has gotten awfully low.  Used to be you had to join a club..now all you have to do is laugh at mormom pron propaganda.

No, marxism is on the rise, this post-modernist bullshit of equalizing all things, but way to lack that depth of mind again. Get your grammar and thoughts together bud.

Not all minds get altered with the same things.... your point?

And why are you throwing out that marxism remark? So you think I'm a marxist? Why do you use that as a negatively charged word? What is marxism, to you?

You base your whole approach to a subject based on the effect it has on a few people?

Maybe they don’t let it affect their relationships? If some people or couples can view it and not let it interfere with the rest of their lives, then they will be less apt to thinking it’s a negative.


Porn addiction is a real thing though, I think any kind of addiction would be a problem. Having something control you, and you not controlling it, would be a problem.

All minds are affected by things they watch though lol. Marxist mindset, you don't have to openly say you're a marxist to be one or have it's sentiments. People like you call right wingers nazi's all the time which has no merit. No my approach is that porn hurts everyone when consumed at a high rate, just like any addiction.

It's easy to say oh just don't let it affect your relationship, but it does and can. If a married man goes to porn all the time, he's going to have a hard time getting with his less attractive wife. If an incel watches porn all the time, he's going to give up and just stick with porn, which is also a negative neurological effect from porn.

You;re hinging your thesis on the notion that a guy wont be able to get a chub for his ugly wife?
