    Link possibly slightly triggering?

    The most interesting point of the article, in my view, is that people often turn to porn because they're lacking proper sex ed. And porn doesn't really ruin real sex because it conveys a false image of it, instead porn is merely a symptom of not having any idea about sex to begin with.

    Could it be that many people only start consuming porn, and then get hooked to it, out of natural curiosity that can't be satisfied any other way because we as a society refuse to discuss sex openly and without shame? Could positive sex ed solve the problem of porn addiction?
     
  2. Acctually find that a fair point of view. I dont remember getting "the talk" from my parents if at all. And thier christian view made masturbating sound shamefull. By the time sex ed in school came up i was already enveloped in the world of porn.

    If you dont teach your kids about sex, porn and the media will. Unfortunately this is what happened to me. Being a shy person anyway and being taught everything from porn was very harmful and brought me nothing but lonliness and emptiness these last few years. Luckily I am still young and have cleaned myself up. There is nobody in my life I can talk with about these things, however I have by mere luck, and self motivation found the best path by myself. Life style changes and self betterment has drastically improved my quality of life.However I owe my newfound perspective of love and relationships to nofap exclusively. I finally had the courage to talk to the girl I like today and I feel like I can do anything. I really cant emphasize enough how nofap has shaped me into a new and improved version of myself. I am so greatful for what nofap has given me and will never forsake it. Positive sex ed can definitely help the mindset plaguing society, which is very serious and overlooked. Individuals can definitely be enlightened and change their ways; I am living proof (although it would be best to teach the right way from the get-go). Unfortunately I dont see this problem being resolved soon, everyone I know, even those closest to me have unhealthy views of sex. This is very discouraging, but I am going to keep making the right choices and try to help others experience what I have so they can get the most out of life.
     
  4. No, I just watched porn cos it felt good. I'm sure I would watch it anyways even if I would have had extremely well education on sexuality. Well, maybe I would have not if that education would include also education about how harmful porn is. I've never tried smoking for example. But I doubt it. There are still some harmful things I do because I can't stop, they just feel too good. Like junk food for example. And because porn is free and so easy accessible I would probably still use it. I seriously doubt education would stop it. We are genetically wired to seek out sex. The nature has crated this addiction for purpose. It didn't predict that we will cheat the system and try to have sex with pixels instead.

    Used to by my problem. I never talked about sex with anyone ever. A few years ago, I met some friends online and the subject became less taboo. Only a few months ago did I get closer to an online friend with whom I can talk openly about sex in a mature way, for the first time in my life. It's very liberating but also somewhat discouraging to see how inexperienced and backward I am.

    Congratulations! You're much braver than me ^^


    Exactly. Then why is it that so many people these days have tremendous difficulties getting sex? Imho it's because it's treated like such a taboo subject.

    Yet many people only survive because they manage to find food in dumpsters. Similar situation with sex advice. If it weren't for porn, many people would arguably be even more clueless about sex.

    Also, I don't really get the first quote. Love and porn aren't really opposites...

  7. Ok I take back my first comment. You're not on the right track....wow how'd I come to that conclusion LOL :confused:

    You're lost bro.

    Caught up in the fallacies of your own overpowered self deluded intellect.

    Can't recommend much else except the videos found on this site for someone like you bro: truthaboutporn.org/media

    Best wishes.

  8. Nah wut bruh, me gotz 2 moar tingz for someone like yas kiddo:

    Porn is bad!

    "One of the greatest ethicists of the 18th century, Emmanuel Kant, had it right when he said the key to morality is to relate to other people as ends in themselves, not as means. As people, not objects. Porn use is definitionally the ultimate objectification of the self and of others."



    Ya gots no ideas wut love is ya foolish ponyboy.
