Everything can be a wast of time, that's relative. However, porn has real consequences on the body and psyche beyond opinions on time spent.

And porn isn't? Please, bro. It's giga addictive plus it can have drastic physiological and psychological effects on your sex life.

 

I think you don't know what a gooner is.

Yet people play way more video games to an unhealthy degree than watch porn. A gooner who spends hours jerking to porn is an extreme and rare beast. Playing video games for long hours is normalized. And the evidence on porn being bad isn't conclusive.

My issue is really with bias. I'm not even particularly pro porn or anything. I'm yet to hear any serious arguments that isn't essentially just pushing conformity and vibes. It's very chuddy. Very "west has fallen" energy.

The evidence isn't "conclusive" either that stabbing yourself in the eye with a toothbrush impairs driving skills, but there are other ways of concluding that than waiting for a scientist to gather a group of college students together and asking about their wanking habits.

Except it's not nearly that objective. The fact that you think it's that bad uncritically is part of the issue. I don't know what to tell you. The sky is blue. Your mind is made.

You can point to specific physiological mechanisms in either case. You don't need to gather some college students together to make a plausible conclusion.

An analogy is not an equivalence.

I know what to tell me: tell me why I cannot make conclusions based on mechanism and only conclusions based on highly specific (but also limited) empirical dispositions.

What's crazy to me is just the lack of common sense. People are masturbating every day without issue. It's like arguing with religious people.

People are doing hard drugs every weekend and going to work. Viewing a thing as either completely good or completely bad for all people at all times in any dosage or any context, that is religious thinking.

It's not going anywhere when you're not engaging.

People also drink alcohol every day.

The sort of Porn I watch is good quality, only one room well iluminated, a big mattres in white sheets and normaly the man doing a long well done massage before any sex starts. Sometimes is the woman doing the massage, long Slow massage in the penis before any penetration. I watch this movies to learn massage movements. Of course in the end of story when I am present with my girl I just follow what the moment asks for, attuned to her body, but the skill from good quality porn are usefull. The secred if pure presence in your own body and listening her body, listening her. The regular fast paced porn will only rot your mind of what real lovemaking constitutes.

If you guys are not able to find good quality porn online you maybe could not realize  that there are Great Nude Art Photographers that take their skills seriously. There is one that even offers a course for Photographers, his name Petter Hegre. Instead of Watching stuff one can become a professional of human photography. Can become even a life purpose, becoming a Photographer of Human beauty.
