I don’t know if I believe in that sentiment. I think that’s a cabal construct to keep men perpetually bagging as many of women as possible, unhappy in trying to pursue the next best thing, chasing the dragon because it will never be attained, all while destroying the nuclear family etc. Biblically, God created Adam then created Eve for him, not MULTIPLE Eves. Just one woman. God intended for us to give ourselves to just one person and to love each other, partnering with love, becoming fruitful. I regret that I gave myself to my high school sweetheart and multiple hookups later. That girl gave her whole entire heart to someone who didn’t deserve it. Those years and sexual drive were meant for my now husband who deserves that part of me. Not those men who never intended to stick around. Porn aids this mindset. Men will never attain that primo ass in real life, nor that many beautiful women as they see hours of video. It is rotting their minds. Women also think that’s what men want. The then allow themselves to be degraded. And the more porn you watch, the more bored they’ll be, so soon they’ll find themselves masturbating to violent hardcore, borderline (if not possibly real) rape.
I'm religious - so we're speaking the same language. I think part of what we're called to do, religiously, is to overcome what we are. By nature, man is greedy, jealous, lustful, etc. In order to lead a good life, you must overcome those desires.
I will say that lust is probably the hardest item to overcome. It strikes us as an urge no different than "being hungry." Sure, the feeling ebbs and flows. But there are times where you will overindulge.
The idea isn't to "not make a mistake." The idea is to learn from your mistake and be better next time.
I think a guy is always going to be geared towards bedding many women. That is in our DNA. It is our own personal struggle.
That said - it is a lot healthier chasing women than it is being addicted to porn.
