Porn is killing our boners!

How about mastrubating with a condom?
I sometimes do this
, I dunno why, I'm weird.

Ding ding ding

this recent "anti-porn" initiative, mostly coming from the right now, is so bizarre. Their are a ton of reasons people are having less sex, largely economical and socially oriented but instead of being honest about any of them, they want to blame pornhub. :pie_eyeroll:
Pornhub doesn't kill boners, people kill boners!

lol

So you think porn created these problems?
I actually agree with your underlying sentiment, but what are your thoughts on other factors that might influence the current predicament of a lot of men such as rampant feminism / socialism aiming to destroy the traditional family structure? I think it's too simplistic to blame it on access to porn.

No, I don’t blame just porn. There are a lot of things bad for men going on. You and a bunch of others in this thread have pointed them out.

But yeah porn is harmful, even if it just one factor out of a bunch. We would all be better off with less.

"Watching porn is also associated with greater dissatisfaction with "normal" sex, with only 65% of respondents rating sex with a partner to be more stimulating than porn."

So the other 35% think jackin' it to porn is better than sex. WHO TO BELIEVE?

I dunno man, I was married for 20 years, me and the wife both watched a lot of porn, and we also fucked all the time. The only thing killing my boner is old age, I'm getting close to 50 and let me tell you these days if it wasn't for porn my dick would never get hard.

I’m 53, I haven’t found my age to be that boner killing, I’m definitely not 20 anymore but it seems like the same level of degradation to all aspects of my physical life lol. I don’t see a problem either way. Porn is great for people that don’t want to be bothered with actual people. Just because you’re not actively trying to get sex doesn’t mean you can’t. Porn is just kind of a stop gap. There’s a lot of things attached to sex that may or may not be worthwhile for you at any given point in your life. I think if you’re looking at porn everyday and jerking off to it all the time it’s probably inevitable you would become desensitized.

Although, and this is not trying to brag or anything, but I used to be quite the dapper young man, I found when I was having a lot of actual sex there was a similar desensitizing loop. I think this holds true with most things we enjoy a lot.

I think porn has become more depraved since the turn of the millennium. These days there seems to be an emphasis on humiliation and shocking viewers with increasingly extreme acts. People get desensitised and normal love-making starts to look dull in comparison. It can't be good for anyone's mind over a long period.

It's funny, in the movie Mallrats, there's a scene where Ben Affleck is describing the things he's doing to the protagonist's ex girlfriend:

Ben A: And I use that to fuck them some place fairly uncomfortable.

Jason L: What, like the back of a volkswagen ?

Ben: No. Like someplace girls dread.

Jason L: Hey, whoa.

Funny how opinion on anal sex has changed - in the mid 90's, anal sex was something deviant that women were not into (probably because it's dirty and painful) then some time later in Clerks 2, we have Rosario Dawson approving of ass to mouth ffs. Not only does she not mind taking it up there now, she'll clean it off for you orally! One wonders what cultural changes took place between these two movies to make these acts go from unacceptable deviance to cute mutually enjoyable sexual practices.

I get what you're saying, OP. Getting used to porn, your ACTUAL interaction with the opposite sex for ACTUAL sex will seem wanting. Your mind won't connect the naked woman in front of you as the same level desirability as the porn you watch. Thus, inability to perform when you need to.

Shift in cultural norms? And your basing this off of Kevin Smith movies?

It's just one interesting example I think. Kevin Smith has always been a progressive lefty. That's a fairly big shift in his scripts on a very specific topic. 90's, anal sex is something girl's dread, 2000's, here let me lick my shit off your dick.

I sometimes did this when I was a young teenager.

Maybe it seemed more 'realistic' to wank while wearing a condom (and so was more exciting) as I would have to wear a condom at that age to have sex.

Or maybe we're both just fucking weird?
You're def weirder for still doing it as an adult though.

IDK about that. When I first lost my virginity sex was fucking amazing (other than the first time due to lack of experience). We did it ALL THE DAMN TIME afterwards. Watching porn is nothing compared to having hot sex with a woman. The best part is when she looks you in the eyes so deep like she want's the dick now and can't hold it in anymore.

Porn is just another movie filled with cut outs, editions, filters and acting; so yeah, it’s made to be perfect and engaging to the viewer.

And then the poor coomer goes to real life and fucks a girl and discovers the hard truth that sex is overrated and nowhere as exciting as what’s shown on porn, that’s where the problem lies.

Sex is a good thing, but some people expect too much out of it

I would contend it’s far more mind blowing in real life, but it depends a lot on your partner. There’s a lot of great looking people with great personalities that are pretty weak lays. You have to find someone that you have real chemistry with. You might like more submissive, I might like more aggressive, lots of factors involved.

Good post. Thank you. The production or distribution of pornography should be banned. There would not be a single founder who believed the First Amendment was meant to protect the pumping of this filth into our culture. These “men” who take naive young girls and prostitute them should be executed.

If you read into more of these story you will realize most of these girls go into it willingly, This narrative that men some how force or manipulate women into doing porn has to stop because it is very sexist and like all other things in society it tries to take personal responsibility away from women.

Everything has a good and bad side to it just because of a few bad apples does not mean we need to ban it completely because the same can be said for a lot of other forms of media.
