Sanity won out there
A GBS success story, nice.
:love:

Seriously. I’m a huge fan of sanity too, even jokes as well, despite my lack of ability with them in most cases.
... and in this case another round of gently caress off’s is half expected to my posting in this forum, but there’s a special place in my heart for Commie Ned.
He may not be the best poster, but he said something to me once that was really insightful, well timed, and much appreciated, and you know that guy’s heart is in the right place, despite some of the overbearing ways he goes about sharing it.

Habituation is a primary driver for a lot of people when it comes to anything. Like, loving anything.

Theres a certain amount of leeway between that guy who runs off to play video poker on his phone, and the man who, say, sees ejaculation as the primary means of inducing a relaxed state. Adam Corolla was fantastic with his jokes about masturbation, and by the way Jimmy Kimmel describes him as “so loving lazy” you could tell there’s some relationship between his man show jokes about “not wanting to get up despite a belly covered in mess” and his daily life. He used to talk about it more and with a seriousness and depth with Dr Drew back in the Loveline days.

Personally, with only my opinions and observations to bolster it, I think that there’s a fuckton to be said of the role identity formation takes in the smaller actions that makeup larger behavior patterns. For example, if you’re concerned that you might end up clicking your way into kind of porn that leaves you asking yourself with a disgusted feeling “is that something I liked?” You might wonder if that’s begging the question, is it because there might be something there, lurking beneath the surface of that which is the you that you think you are?

Sometimes, at this point, we’re tempted to focus on the answer, when it’s the question which is far more important in my opinion.
It says firstly, you want to know yourself better, for whatever reason, and to my understanding that’s a terribly common thing.
Second, I think in the context placed which is vaguely “what would my wife think”, shows you have concern, not just for her feelings about you, but men in general. Are you doing this because you’re a gross, sex obsessed “typical man”? Aside with one’s obvious desire to fight a stereotype, I know for sure that it’s incredibly important for the woman you love to see you as standing apart from all of the other men that could have been her husband, and even if she didn’t notice or never will even find out, god damnit it’s good to know that she loves you because you really are as good a man as she sees you.

I could probably go on with that train of thought, but you might see my point in it there.
What you do every day is who you are, not your vocation, but how you do a thing. Anything.

What I’d say further on the subject is, that self question seems really healthy and beautiful if you look at it the way I just did, but not every self question is (obviously), and there’s a saying I like to use when it comes to this self questioning, intrusive thoughts, or anything regarding the massive spectrum of “addiction”, or even deprivation of capitalism and so on:
The disability makes the disorder.
There’s a ton of reasons I say that A loving LOT, but suffice it to say, without some sort of line in the sand regarding a person’s identity, it’s incredibly easy to be dismissive as “some people are just broken” and hence ending what could blossom in side one’s self into any number of beautiful questions, including one of the rare few that gives us a glimpse of new self knowledge.

As for pornography, that’s a really long discussion. Really long. I’m going to drop a steaming coil of super hot take and say it’s a societal symptom, but it’s not just “do what you can and people will buy it”, or it’s child by a stepsister “I want it because someone says I can’t have it” but more along a seriously game of thrones level inbred mixture of good old condemnation, and the way the internet has brought frustrated young men together to charge their JO crystals to Stacy getting pounded by a cock they can imagine is their own. Top that off with a good helping of Futurama’s warning about the sin that is robosexuality (seriously, I just saw this link to a gif in the cursed image thread of a high tension electrical tower skipping rope, and not only did I hear the thing thumping like a subwoofer, it shook my drat monitor and made my ears tingle) and you kinda start to see why porn is so pervasive that it drives technology, why it’s so popular that people make it and share it, even without the buying and selling that is often used to prop up the porn is immoral arguments.

I’ve heard some good ones too, but arguing about porn is almost as masturbatory as watching it.

The Bible isn’t anti-sex and neither is Christianity or God. It’s just about doing it properly.

It’s like, I think I like wine bc it tastes good and gets me drunk, but an experienced wine connoisseur might actually know how to enjoy wine better than I do, but I would never know that if I just assumed he was an uptight snob bc of the Look he gave me when I poured some award winning vintage into my styrofoam cup of sprite

Come on people I’m just being wine positive sluuurrrrp

Pornography is a terrible exploitative industry that abuses hopeless young men and women with brainspiders and makes their lives worse in the name of profit.

On the other hand, an image of a pregnant Sonic the Hedgehog having forceful anal sex with Dr Robotnik drawn by some fat ugly basement dweller only abuses Nintendo's IP lawyers.

Food for thought.

I have a dumb question, since I figure i already made myself look dumb earlier:

How exactly is the porn industry still afloat? I know there are pay sites, and I'm sure there is browsing data sold like everything else nowadays, but when your baseline site is a free to view and people have adblockers, wheres the money coming from?

once you've gotten to the point where you can only get off to s&m videos featuring red-headed bbw shemales you have to pay people to make more, the free stuff doesn't work.

Getting concerned over people watching porno and pounding off is honestly weirder than a lot of really weird porn. People complain about particularly kinky porn that's popular nowadays but back in ye olden times they jacked it to lynchings and sodomized livestock so things are getting better.

OH NO!
Another poster put this earlier but “when you pay for it” is really the correct answer. There’s so much free poo poo and torrents of even the most bizarre niche fetishes that the moment you go “oh yeah let me pay this gal $20 for a custom clip” you might want to get to a meeting.

Impractical practicality
I think it's a problem if the person watching it starts to actually watch the porn and obsess over it. The type of person that knows all the names of porn stars no doubt has a problem. Jackin off though the sky is the limit as long you aren't jerking off to fantasies of loving your own Not mom you are good.

there was no commercial porn 80 years ago. and much firmer religious strictures upon behavior. and people still managed to be insane sex-crazed murderous idiots op. if you go even further back, perhaps 200+ years (before middle class bourgeois morality) people were a lot more chill about sex and still insane sex-crazed murderous idiots.

It's a backlash to super-easy universal porn access. I think people feel overwhelmed by a lot of what's coming out of the internet these days and are starting to push back against it.
