Anonymous asked:
is it true that porn of any kind (erotica, audio, pics, etc) rots the brain? like, is there any truth to the idea that I'm damaging my brain permanently? I mainly like to read erotica on tumblr or ao3. I've also seen people refer to anyone who likes any type of porn as degenerates and sex pests.

is this what we're doing now. we're calling people degenerates just for reading horny fanfic.
besties we are never ever never ever never ever never escaping conservative christianity.

sure whatever. porn rots holes in your brain. anything that makes you feel good is bad actually. if you derive joy from movies or food or seeing your friends that's also deeply suspect and you should probably go to confession about it. if I'm being totally honest we should not stop with porn, having sex with other people is pretty fucked up. kind of predatory to desire another person carnally. probably we should all just go live in caves and think about god until we die a celibate death.

in my undergrad classes we talked about how periods of (relative) social progress are often followed by sharp conservative backlash, and I didn't really get it until I lived through it with the 2016 election. and like a fucking goober I thought "well, at least this is as bad as it will ever get iny lifetime," because I could never in ten million years could have predicted the protestant comeback tour convincing people that they're psychologically diseased sex criminals if they so much as think about nutting

Reminder that "porn addiction" is NOT a recognized condition in the DSM. The only academic studies that have found porn to be addictive whatsoever all happen to come from religious institutions.

Porn can be habit forming but is not physiologically addictive. Lay people are easily influenced by the anti-porn conservatives when they hear phrases like "porn addiction" tossed around casually to the point where they believe it actually exists.

Whoa ok I didn't know that. Ever since that guy with the moving breast muscles came forward I assumed it's a legit diagnosis

How is giving some idiot on the internet a platform a "microblog meme"?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Isn't that what "microblogs" are, though?
