    Genuinely wondering how you feel about porn addiction, and the phenomenon of under-18s counting down the days until they can start an OnlyFans. I think sex work should be seen the same as plying any other kind of trade, but I can't shake the feeling that our access to it should be limited in some way.

        Yes it is.

        That trash has haunted me for the last 10 years of my life. I have dropped out of university, lost I don't know how many friendships and relationships due to social anxiety, spent years being chronically depressed and anxious. I have erectile dysfunction now, and my only sexual experiences are those from behind a screen looking at people I don't know. I honestly have no real idea what real sex in a relationship is actually like.

        You stay in your lane when talking about how porn affects the people who use it, I will stay in mine when it comes to rights for sex workers.

          yeh i think having a discussion about the porn/sex work industry can be fruitful, but dismissing porn addition as not real reeks of...misinformation at the very least. humans can get addicted to anything, and some are very harmful. sorry for what you're going through dude. i''m also struggling re:uni, depression, anxiety etc and wanna tell you that we're all in this together.

          First post I saw on there was about a guy saying porn has turned him gay and he only concentrates on the penises now, but he's still straight and also uses slurs against LGBT people. Uhhhhh yeah I'm going to assume that's a pretty bad subreddit as a bi dude

              Please no one tell these people about VR porn and how you can watch it using Google cardboard, they'll never leave their caves and probably die of starvation
