      A buddy of mine did nofap because he thought it was like a t-break for weed, but for cumming.

        That totally works for me. Doing no fap for even a couple days makes real sex feel so much better.

      It pisses me off that nofap and abstinence from porn has been co-opted by the reactionaries because I am one-hundred percent certain that in the future we are going to look back on widespread internet pornography as a major health crisis.

          But none of that compared to the staggering amount of high-speed internet porn that's available to people today, especially to young children. Its not really the idea of pornographic material itself, just the modern iteration that is so widely available.

            is it though? you were 5 minutes away from a dirty magazine at any given time in the past century. 'finding dad's porn' was a trope for decades, be it video or paper.

              But a single dirty magazine doesn't compare to the psychological affect of being exposed to a literally endless torrent of porn that caters to absolutely any fantasy or fetish. Its not that porn didn't exist in the past, but it has never been so widespread and easy to use. At the very least I know it ruins my mental health and ability to be intimate lol.

                there wasn't a single dirty mag everyone shared, all your fetishes and fantasies were developed decades ago and you could find that shit at a store. there was nothing stopping people from overconsuming and having intimacy problems then either.

                    maybe. but the same is true for everything else and has been true for generations. like, there were people criticizing tv before the internet was a thing, and the radio before tv. i think people also used to criticize newspapers. and was it plato or aristotle (some greek philosopher) who was mad that kids were using slate and not just memorizing everything.
