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.

Yeah but im saying that over-consuming is a lot easier for people now, especially from a young age.
