Porn is definitely a problem when 98% of men say they've used it. It's meant to distract you, make you weak, soft, limp, easy to manipulate. Don't fall for it. Get away from it. Seek true beauty in nature, or in classical art or music. Put your down time to other uses. Start working out, take up a hobby, go outside, get some air! You will feel so much lighter once you shake off the chains of porn.
I loved MMOs for designs of worlds. Just a huge fan of game design in general. It's why I went into game design, making new adventures. Was never too into sexual design more than I was of style, though. Was pretty disinterested with bikini women in games cause it just felt tacky.
That being said, I never not enjoyed the nature where I can get it. Born near Earth Day I have had a hippie-like tradition since I was 7 to plant a tree as my gift of all gifts for my birthday. Still goes to this day.
In the 90’s I was in my 30’s and built desktops. 386’s, 486’s up through Pentiums. Built, studied for and completed Novell certification in my den. Doom was big, then Doom2, Heretic, Hexen then Quake. ID Games fan obv. I built a Doom2 level for FPS Network had 5 client nodes me & frens would battle it out. We were working in Saudi...I had recorded Patriot missile audio launching at Scuds. Used an audio compiler to make Doom2 weapon #5 (rocket launcher?) audio, which audio was lame, instead that of a Patriot launch. Truly badass as my audio was ported through my Klipsch speakers/stereo. Also utilized IBM OS2 Doom compiler to port green grass and starry sky as the DOS compiler didn’t allow that. For those days it was pretty advanced. I’m sure that diskette of that project is history. I spent 3-1/2 months creating that level and pretty much haven’t gamed since.
Grew up Thrash. Nowmore into Stoner/Doom/Desert mostly. Love everything Pike touches. Still love all the classics. Not super into death or black, but Chuck was so awesome and I love all those Death records. Wearing a Leprosy shirt today.
Metalcore, thrash, melo death, groove, and a bit of deathcore. Trivium, As I Lay Dying, Lamb of God, Hatebreed, and All That Remains have been my go tos for a long time.
Loved Death's last two albums, they were phenomenal. Damn shame Chuck still isn't around, he was that damn band. Folks got me a Perseverance shirt but arrived late at their house and is waiting there for me when I visit again.
Honestly I’m surprised there’s this much debate on this subject here. If you’re at all awake, you should know this is a battle of Good vs Evil. God vs Satan. And we all know porn isn’t on the side of God. It’s degenerate, sinful, garbage. It rots the soul and perverts the mind.
From what I’ve seen people get the most defensive about porn addiction than any other addiction. A smoker will admit that cigarettes are bad for them and they’re trying to quit, but you tell someone masturbation is bad and they’ll come up with a laundry list of excuses to justify their behavior with stuff like “it’s healthy! It prevents prostate cancer! It helps me sleep!”
I never thought of it as healthy or natural. I always knew it was perverted. But I didn’t walk with God like I should’ve in my 20s. I fell victim to the culture the DS had perpetuated. Hookups and a couple one night stands. I knew deep down they weren’t good for me, but didn’t know what I was doing to my soul. Now that I’m awake I’m very sorrowful for things I used to think weren’t a big deal. Occasional porn was one of them. Not anymore. They say the average age a child is introduced to porn now is 7. Freaking seven? That’s way too young. And kids are asking for nudes and being super perverted at younger ages. The movie Cuties isn’t far off. They’re sexualized at younger and younger ages. And porn has a hand in it.
But so is addiction to social media/smart phones, tv watching etc
Finally got rid of my smart phone. Let me say, it is feels like I'm alive again. I never considered myself "addicted" to it. But I was consumed by it. If that makes any sense.
Now? I feel a million times better and recommend it to everyone.
Recommend it to everyone, as long as you realize that it's a literal necessity now for a huge swath of the population to have a smart phone. Many of us need it for work, or business, or to remain connected with other humans while on illegal house arrest due to the communists' bioweapon of mass destruction they are attacking us with.
It's meant to...make you soft, limp, easy to manipulate.
Kek ;p
I see what you did there
To the point, porn is bad because after a while it makes it really difficult to get excited for normal sex. I know people who can no longer attach sex to love. Love doesn't get them going. It's all about the degradation, dirtiness, violence, or some other blatant pornographic wrongness that has nothing to do with mutual pleasure, love, or ensuring the continued success of the species, to say nothing of survival.
It's obvious you're a porn and masturbation addict trying to justify your addiction. Stop coping, start freeing yourself. Here's a challenge: if you're truly not addicted to either, then giving both up for 3 weeks should be easy right? And don't try to tell me that you NEED to masturbate for "stress" or "sleep" or "preventing prostate cancer" (lol that one is THE BIGGEST cope). You don't NEED sex or sexual pleasure to survive like you NEED food or water or air. You will not die without it. So let's see how free you think you are. 3 weeks. Try it. I'm betting you won't last 3 days though, maybe not even 3 hours.
When you go to the dr about depression or anxiety the first thing they do is throw meds at you. Those meds never address the root of the problem and instead of going on medication people should look into therapy. Nothing wrong with taking and as needed prescribed medication to prevent a full on panic attack, just resist the temptation to abuse the drug. Women also aren’t the only ones on anti depressants. This is all big pharm they solve the “problem” by selling their drugs. Not trying to say everyone should refuse medications I just think if you can function with out it then it’s not needed. Some people need it and that’s the intended purpose of medication. They medicate everyone now and worst of all now they’re targeting children.
Come on people. Get a sense of humor. That was funny.
Also, if you are 1.) single and 2.) totally upfront and honest about not wanting a commitment and dating other women, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. The key is being honest.
You know what's funny though. If you do this, you will become more desirable to women. It's that confidence thing.
Eventually, though, settling down with an amazing woman that is your best friend and soul mate is the most amazing thing that can happen.
Yeah I've tried the marriage thing twice. It never, not even for a second, made me happier than when I'm single and dating a few girls. It's not for some but I prefer to be a single man
Actually its proven that the more you watch porn the more it turns you on compared to a real human being. That you will struggle more in a physical relationship.
If thats the case then my entire 3 year relationship i had was a lie. I watched porn and i also had great sex before during AND after we were together and the real thing is ALWAYS more of a turn on.
Idk where your getting your bullshit studies from but that study didnt take into account the different lives people live. Some gett addcited to porn and ruin their lives. Some watch no porn and still lead shit lives. Weed. Alcohol. Drugs. Porn. All these things do not define you as a person and everyone is an individual with their own story.
Side note: whenever i i nut wether it be with a girl or porn i feel clear headed. More focused. Some people just get sucked more into it but thats not me. Thats why on this topic people should speak for themselves
If you are watching porn and having a sexual relationship with a woman my point has been already proven, you find a need to watch it while your also in this relationship that without it your relationship can not stand on its own.
well... you are missing one little very important detail. God. The reason things like this are not cool is it is an attempt to break God's commandments. Think about birth rates, think about the lives destroyed while producing it. there are probably many more consequences that have already been mentioned by a previous poster. i dont see any reason for defending porn.

This 1000%

It was a Doom2 level 16 remake fyi.
Because of this post, I grabbed bottle of water and hit the woods. Sunny and nice here. Thank you.
Pixel women are better than the woke women that dominate the dating scene right now.
truth
Oh I definitely get absorbed in music. Big, big metalhead. ????
I blast my metal playlist daily in the garage gym I built during covid. Found out I have more metalhead neighbora than I ever though! Rock on fren!!
Genres?

As a teenager, i just wanted to see bewbs all the time. I never really thought of it as anything more than that.
A little older, and a little wiser? It is noting more than the 21st century equivalent of an opium den.
Stay away from it as best you can. Having a healthy, responsible sex life with another person is far better for you.
Kek ;p
I see what you did there

Or your own beautiful wife
Lol. Chains of porn. If it helps, the other two percent are lying. Dudes jerk off unless they don’t have a working penis. Then they just look at porn.
It's obvious you're a porn and masturbation addict trying to justify your addiction. Stop coping, start freeing yourself.

Put the porn down and start dating multiple women at a time
That's easy Man. This ain't reddit we aren't all virgins here right
A really bad suggestion, which sounds like porn in real time.
Birth control can also affect libido.
When you go to the dr about depression or anxiety the first thing they do is throw meds at you. Those meds never address the root of the problem and instead of going on medication people should look into therapy.

I am a fool

If that was the case id be somewhere else in life but im not because i dont let something as simple as porn make me weak
Actually its proven that the more you watch porn the more it turns you on compared to a real human being. That you will struggle more in a physical relationship.
porn is a psyop
Doubtful, it has been around since BC, just with a different name. Sodom and Gomorrah come to my mind.
If thats the case then my entire 3 year relationship i had was a lie. I watched porn and i also had great sex before during AND after we were together and the real thing is ALWAYS more of a turn on.

I appreciate the fact that you separated weed and drugs =)
