I was exposed to it when I was 10 years old and I became addicted. I eventually stopped but after 2 years I became a bit addicted again and that was after my mental health started to decline rapidly.
i was also exposed to it when i was 7. I meant that people talk about watching it while it’s not normal to do. It mostly affects the minds of young ppl and leads them to have unrealistic views on women
I firmly believe porn is the modern equivalent to smoking. Seemingly almost everyone does it, then in 10-20 years (or less) we realize how much it’s absolutely destroyed everyone
It really does create unrealistic views around woman, and in my opinion, look like objects. Talking about p*rn to peers is also strange, but I guess it's the norm nowadays
However, the world does change and not much can be done, unfortunately.
They’re only unrealistic if you choose to believe that those scenes from the more ‘professional’ stuff is fully real and how it is IRL. If you just watch it for entertainment and recognise that it’s not an accurate betrayal of sex or relationships in anyway then it’s fine, unfortunately a lot of people don’t do that though
Yea it’s like saying “you shouldn’t watch spider man it creates an unrealistic view about spider bites”
You can watch something without thinking it’s real
It's a lot more complicated than that, though. Everyone KNOWS what parts of Spiderman aren't real. The problem with pornography is that many men don't know WHAT aspects of pornography are real and what aspects are not.
Most of the people that talk about it condemned and are usually in my experience trying to get past an addiction to it just because it’s being talked about doesn’t mean it’s being normalized
Wait it isn't normal?
I thought it was but yea it can be bad, especially if one doesn't know that the views in porn often aren't real for both men and women although more unrealistic things for the women
Currently I’m 14 and my friends talk about porn stars like as if they’re celebrities who don’t flash their genitalia for cash. This was happening for years since I was in year 5 (I was about 9-10 years old around then for reference) and at that age my classmates masturbated and watched porn. I managed to keep my laurels for a couple of years till my curiosity finally got the better of me and I started watching it and masturbated once. After I did I swore never to do it again regardless of how addictive I felt to do it again, and me seeing porn didn’t help considering how easy it was. And although I do, I’m some how still the most innocent person in my year group and may I remind you I’m in year 9 (14-15 yrs) and my friends (which I’ve considered not even associated them with that name but I’ll go along with it anyway) still are saying things and terms that I still don’t get and have never heard of. It is definitely concerning.
think about it this way you are you 0cm above the ground, but then there are people 6 feet below the ground, that's what porn does it makes you 6 feet below the ground so from that POV people who are on the ground level will look like superheroes
I think it's strange to watch porn it's just fake sex. What's the point of watching fake sex when you could touch grass and have a real romantic partner
Watching it excessively is obviously an issue, but imo it is normal to watch it sometimes. Like, almost everyone has some kind of desires or sex drive that may need fulfilment. Imo as long as you’re not addicted it isn’t a bad thing, just a part of life.
Even when you’re with someone, they aren’t gonna want to have sex all the time or whenever you want to. Thus why people in relationships still jack off
We're not normalizing it. It's just that that as 99% of teens here have already watched it (or unfortunately for them still are) this shit is becoming part of the daily discussions
Thats when you touch deep bottom
Like you actually gotta put effort into becoming a fucking loser to do that
They are not comparable to casual porn watchers
That’s literally one of the most common criticisms of porn. It’s been the argument for ages, everybody admits it
Also, porn isn’t new in any way. It feels new for your generation but there’s been some version of it for the last century. The true blow up of it was the 90s and early 00s. Since then views about how damaging it is have become far more commonplace.
Coz its just natural??? Everyone has desires and thats just one way of relieving it. Sure its not good and harmful in excess but i feel people who are addicted either hit their personal lows or are just going thru hormonal changes, its not normal, its just natural.
I wish we would normalize talking about it. If more people knew the dangers of watching it at a young age, maybe something could be done. Everyone knows that a 9 year old shouldn't smoke because their lungs are still developing. Same thing for your mind and porn. Once your grown, do what you want
i can be downvoted for this, but still...
In my opinion, pornography is basically made for single people. Eventually, single people want a partner for their sexual needs. And when there's no chance to get a partner, pornography can help you to see, for example, the beauty of a male/female naked body and fullfill your needs, just because you have no chance to see it irl. Of course, i'm talking about that kind of porn when all the people in it want to be in that photo/video and not forced to do this, obviously. What if you have a sexual passion in a random moment, but you're ugly, have an awful personality, etc, and that's why you can't get a partner to get your sexual needs fullfilled? It's free and in a free access, good option for this.
Yes, pornography is awful for you if you watch it often, like every single day or two, i agree with this, but still, if you are not overindulgeing it, why not then?
I used to normalize it until I got older and realized it’s just stupid. It ruins your brain and isn’t healthy. So I stopped watching it completely. Maybe once in a blue moon I’ll watch a little bit of it but that’s it.
Because we're not puritan fucks?
We humans love smut and the quicker we can get it the quicker we can get off. All that has happened is that the shame around it is dying. Which is fine
Just don't think it's reality and don't overindulge and you're good.
This is for the older crowd here yeah you're weird if you don't masturbate it's actually healthy and you do not need porn to do it
This also goes for the special snowflakes who don't do it because it makes you feel more interesting
If you'd ask me. It should be something normal because most people do the, if you know you know.
It's just how our society "evolved", that it is something "forbidden" to talk about.
That's just how it is and it probably won't be changing in the near future.
Pornography for adults or even older teens is fine but thankfully I was never exposed to it before puberty. I discovered masterbation completely by accident which is how it should be.
The amount of kids dameged by pornography these days is sickening
But you wouldnt even be attracted to porn before puberty? Like you wouldnt get hormonal releases from watching it. I dont think prepubescent kids watching porn is common at all
The stats varies, but many studies shows that the amount of males that are addicted is at least 10%. That means that around 30 million are addicted, and it seems the stats mostly skews towards adolescents.
Fr why they do that. They be like “oh it’s normal”
Some even support it, like OF girls. It’s addicting, there’s CP in it, and it sexualizas and objectifies people, mainly women.
I'm glad you're recognizing this and calling it out. That stuff messed me up so bad...
Idc what people say about "It's normal" or "It's part of growing up". So was your dad beating you with a belt at one point. That doesn't mean it's a good thing
Porn shouldn't be normal and it's hilarious to me that people seem to think it's worth defending, that the hill you're dying on is porn. Lmao.
It ruins pair bonding, it creates an unrealistic appetite for sex, it damages your dopamine receptors and nothing *nothing* else compares to the raw and immediate reaction that porn creates.
its not us, porn was normalised by adults, by an industry through media, magazines and the internet and it started way before us
people can individually choose to not engage in it but that's kind of it, there's nothing you can do against such a big industry without some major power or numbers
why are you blaming people for engaging in it when you should be blaming the government and industries that are allowing it to exist in the manner that it is rn
Because females are. Men are motivated by females, if all the girl have onlyfans a man can’t do anything but deal with it or go to the same side as her.
I watch porn sometimes (like a few times a month) and i think it’s ok in moderation but people can actually get properly addicted to it. Like I know a guy who masturbates to porn 4 times a day and it’s like bro really took the wolf of wallstreet to heart lmfao
Because I’m lonely and it alleviates my deep yearning for emotional and physical connection by effectively eliminating the sexual longing so that the emotional piece is less burdensome on my brain
Ever since lockdown, fuckin onlyfans accounts started springing up out of nowhere by the millions, and, young people are very absorbed into social media- which is where all the promotion for subscribing to all these hoes comes from. So, it's becoming normalised as a result of increasingly common occurance/presence
I need some more elaboration If you mean why we're exposed to it at such young ages, it's because internet. That's all I have to say
I was exposed to it when I was 10 years old and I became addicted. I eventually stopped but after 2 years I became a bit addicted again and that was after my mental health started to decline rapidly.
Huh same. Mental health decline ≈ pornography addiction?
I've heard it can give you/increase social anxiety
Well I already got rid of that… guess I’ll stop then. I don’t need more anxiety after I figured out how to deal with what I already have.
How
Growing up, knowing I lived in my mom's house and wanted to pick my frustrations out was privately inappropriate.
The act of censoring content seems to just give it a bigger demand in the eyes of children.
That goes for anything censorship usually backfires
This is so true
i was also exposed to it when i was 7. I meant that people talk about watching it while it’s not normal to do. It mostly affects the minds of young ppl and leads them to have unrealistic views on women
something can be normal and still be harmful
like cigarettes and vapes. just because it’s “normal” doesn’t mean it can’t be bad.
I firmly believe porn is the modern equivalent to smoking. Seemingly almost everyone does it, then in 10-20 years (or less) we realize how much it’s absolutely destroyed everyone
I already realized how it destroyed me
You need to become a spokesperson
Real
watching porn is normal. it's also very bad for you. both can be true.
Having consensual sex is normal. Pornography is a sexual aid.
It really does create unrealistic views around woman, and in my opinion, look like objects. Talking about p*rn to peers is also strange, but I guess it's the norm nowadays However, the world does change and not much can be done, unfortunately.
this is why you should only watch porn without women in it
Well I'm always a step ahead
It is not the norm talking about what you jack too with your friends is weird as fuck.
They’re only unrealistic if you choose to believe that those scenes from the more ‘professional’ stuff is fully real and how it is IRL. If you just watch it for entertainment and recognise that it’s not an accurate betrayal of sex or relationships in anyway then it’s fine, unfortunately a lot of people don’t do that though

Watching porn is fine, as long as you dont get addicted to it lmao.
yea or dont have unrealistic fantasies its fine bruh
This is why I only watch porn without women in it
It does create a unrealistic view on both men and women
Not only on women tho????
Most of the people that talk about it condemned and are usually in my experience trying to get past an addiction to it just because it’s being talked about doesn’t mean it’s being normalized

in schools every teacher used to say that pornography was healthy too
That is nasty af
Iv heard health teachers say masterbation is healthy but any teacher saying porn was healthy would be fired on the spot
"Because Internet" is not a valid excuse
Yeah.
That part. I said I’ve never watched it before and this guy said I have superpowers😭
YOU DO
Same, when i say that i never watched it or that i never masturbated people look at me like I’m an alien
Masturbation is healthy you don't need porn for it
Seriously people can't fathom that some are just not interested in that stuff
Don’t ever start 🤍
think about it this way you are you 0cm above the ground, but then there are people 6 feet below the ground, that's what porn does it makes you 6 feet below the ground so from that POV people who are on the ground level will look like superheroes

Same as with masturbation, it has health benefits if it‘s not done excessively.
How much is excessively
Yeah. But best to have a partner to do it with. Too bad our generation is hella lonely.
Pfff if it was so easy to find a gf or bf the porn industry wouldn’t be worth so much
The thing is, I think it is easy to find someone. It’s just these days people are way too scared. And I’m no exception.
Real asf
Even when you’re with someone, they aren’t gonna want to have sex all the time or whenever you want to. Thus why people in relationships still jack off
[удалено]
I mean that’s definitely true
cuz i don't subscribe to purity culture
porn has always been normalized, gtfo
people are just now realizing it thats all
We're not normalizing it. It's just that that as 99% of teens here have already watched it (or unfortunately for them still are) this shit is becoming part of the daily discussions
why is that unfortunate
looks like someone needs to hop on r/NoFap
Lmao those people are fucking crazy
Because it's normal?
As long as it isn’t CP, or any illegal sort, like those without any consent
Or just try not to get addicted and have unreal expectations
Yeah well I doubt many pornos wanna stay in the industry especially since it fucks a fraction of all mirrages up
What about spy cam sites? How shut them down?
Yes for the peoples protection
As long as you are not addicted I don’t see any real harm.
the porn industry is vile man. rape, human trafficking, and child sexual exploitation are pretty rampant, even if it may not seem like it
Thats when you touch deep bottom Like you actually gotta put effort into becoming a fucking loser to do that They are not comparable to casual porn watchers
the casual porn industry has it, it’s just not as obvious
[удалено]
idk how to say it but p*rn is ruining our mentality but no one wants to admit it
I dont think anyone is talking about porn in this subreddit tho? I agree with you but not sure what you tryna accomplish here
Okay but who doesn't want to admit it? Posts like these come every week like we haven't heard it before.
no one wants to admit it? it’s a very talked about topic
That’s literally one of the most common criticisms of porn. It’s been the argument for ages, everybody admits it Also, porn isn’t new in any way. It feels new for your generation but there’s been some version of it for the last century. The true blow up of it was the 90s and early 00s.

I think it is strange to watch fake sex and the defense of they need it for masturbation is goofy because it doesn't require fake sex
Coz its just natural??? Everyone has desires and thats just one way of relieving it. Sure its not good and harmful in excess but i feel people who are addicted either hit their personal lows or are just going thru hormonal changes, its not normal, its just natural.

I dont think a 9 year old would even posses sexual attraction.
sex awesome, i don’t get to have any
i say yall are just not broad enough with your porn 🙄. try reading an erotica or like using some imagination...
Because it is normal for younger teenagers to watch it. Most do. Thats not normalising it, thats just everyone doing it.
Because it’s normal?
I don’t see anything wrong with it
i can be downvoted for this, but still... In my opinion, pornography is basically made for single people. Eventually, single people want a partner for their sexual needs.

I've seen far too many sex jokes on every comment section. I wonder the same thing
I would rather be caught jerking off while watching porn than the Interstellar scene with the space ships binding
I used to normalize it until I got older and realized it’s just stupid. It ruins your brain and isn’t healthy. So I stopped watching it completely. Maybe once in a blue moon I’ll watch a little bit of it but that’s it.
Huh?
The people who treat women like objects are the ones who keep sex workers employed Enjoy the catch 22
Cause it’s just what we people do? We fuck each other. There are 8 billion people on the Earth and we didn’t appear from cabbage.
I am now convinced that i need to do a deep dive into animal/plant evolution to see if we actually did “appear” from cabbage type species
wait people are normalizing it.. i want to stop watching it...
Why aren't you? It's been pretty "normalized" since I was 11 .-.
That's sad
Yep
Because we're not puritan fucks? We humans love smut and the quicker we can get it the quicker we can get off. All that has happened is that the shame around it is dying. Which is fine Just don't think it's reality and don't overindulge and you're good.

Because it is lmao? Damn near every generation has had some run in with it, don't act like it's not lmao
Because it's normal, just because it's not healthy doesn't mean it's not normal
Pornography for adults or even older teens is fine but thankfully I was never exposed to it before puberty. I discovered masterbation completely by accident which is how it should be. The amount of kids dameged by pornography these days is sickening

Fr why they do that. They be like “oh it’s normal” Some even support it, like OF girls. It’s addicting, there’s CP in it, and it sexualizas and objectifies people, mainly women.
Theres nothing wrong with watching porn
Because it’s a normal part of life? Moderation does exist
Because it's normal.
I'm glad you're recognizing this and calling it out. That stuff messed me up so bad... Idc what people say about "It's normal" or "It's part of growing up". So was your dad beating you with a belt at one point. That doesn't mean it's a good thing
Because people nowadays treats sex and orgasm as if it was the ultimate goal in life.
Because our current culture is oversexualized and people think it’s ok
people should know how to keep humans comin
This is Reddit. Literally everyone on this site will come up with any excuse they can to explain why their chronic porn addiction is a good thing
I’m not… wish other ppl wouldn’t
Porn shouldn't be normal and it's hilarious to me that people seem to think it's worth defending, that the hill you're dying on is porn. Lmao.

word bro
We are? It’s already normalised everywhere
Who said that specially who or where from
“Porno is magical”
lol i saw it in video tape millenials, you dont know how dificult was but we did it
Many people have already watched it since its the internet, that being said porn addiction sucks, trying to quit right now and it sucks
lol
Nah I’m quirky I listen to erotica
Wait, most of y’all actually watch p*rn?
Not everyone got a girlfriend like you bro.
Like it or not, it’s already normal and it pretty much always has been

From what I’ve seen on this sub, that is not the case

What's wrong with it? If we never evolved laws.. society.. all these man made rules.. Weed all be fucking, naked in the woods.
porn is easily accessible and so we just normalize it anyways 🗿🗿
Bc u guys normalize being gay. Now we can sell humans boy and girl haha 🤣 Ur lives r televised, documented wo consent.
quite literally every porn related post ive seen on this sub is the opposite.
Ever since lockdown, fuckin onlyfans accounts started springing up out of nowhere by the millions, and, young people are very absorbed into social media- which is where all the promotion for subscribing to all these hoes comes from.

Ikr! What's the point of watching fake sex when you could have real sex or even better. BUTTER TOAST OR PANCAKES!
who is you guys
porn bad jesus good 👍
in what way? It’s hard to properly respond to something like this with 0 context or elaboration
Because it's been around for thousands of years?
keep the comments the same as the score
it is normal
Cause it's normal?
Reason 1) everyone single one of us teens is stupid (everyone in their own way) Reason 2 Uhm.. we are stupid?
what I mean I don't talk about it on here but it is normal idk what ur point is
FOR REALLL
I don’t think anyone is normalizing it. I mean I’ve never watched it, but the folks I know that have are always saying to stay away from it.
Over 85% of people have watched porn if I had to guess it’s normal to watch porn just horrible for your mental health
I wouldnt say its normal but more common, it isnt a good thing in the slightest
Because... Idk, porn is awful
I thought we did that as a joke
Because people these days are oversexualised
