Pornography Addiction

What's so wrong with rubbing one out before bed? Nothing imo.

Hot. I've always been a bit of an exhibitionist.

Also I found something amusing on deviantart:

I just have to chime in here and say that you really don’t know what you are talking about at all.

Especially when you are suggesting that willpower is the only thing that helps someone either overcome addiction or prevent them from becoming addicted.

If you look up the link he has provided or any other information regarding addiction, you will find that it is the dopamine that the person becomes addicted to and not the act itself. Creating a chemical dependency and not at all a matter of self-control.

The real struggle with things like pornography is that it isn’t outwardly destructive necessarily. Furthermore that chemical dependency doesn’t ever really go away. The “addict” has ultimately 1 option engage in other activities that are deemed constructive or socially acceptable to achieve that same dopamine release. Unfortunately, that can and does lead to the individuals then becoming addicted to that other dopamine releasing activity.

If you have the willpower or self-control that has kept you away from addiction, more power to you, applause, bow… etc. But do not presume that everyone who is/was addicted to something has/had a weak personality. That is downright ignorant.

I'd like to add that addiction is also hereditary in some cases. Is that person "weak" when they inherited the condition? That's kind of a dick move to criticize someone for a condition they were born with. It's like laughing at someone who was born with 1 leg. It's 0% their fault, so why would we blame them for getting addicted?

I mean I was addicted to soft drinks, but I had to stop because it's just so so bad for your teeth. But every time I see someone drinking one, I want one. Every time I hear a can pop open, I want one. It's just an involuntary response at this point. I agree it's great if you've never felt this kind of addiction (and to be sure, mine was mild. This is Coca Cola we're talking about, not cocaine), but it's possible you're no more responsible for that than the the other guy who gets addicted after one cigarette.

Porn is boring and seriosly unrealistic.

A lot of porn is, unfortunately.

IMO the biggest problem with porn is that there's so much shit porn. Which I attribute to our society's immature attitudes to sex.

Not all porn though.

POV (point of view) porn is the equivalent to game film.

My experience of hentai was underage looking girls squeaking and effeminate guys getting rodgered by a creepy older predatory guy

What no tentacles?

"Mainstream" hentai is almost as samey as anime... then again there's definitely a subset of hentai that's highly, um, experimental. Like, check out the alternative hentai section of 4chan some time. And I don't just mean the shitting dick nipple stuff. I remember there's a large genre devoted to giant women crushing tiny men for example.

Yea I don't get it. This makes me about as sexually aroused as looking at my toaster.

I'm sure toasters are someone's fetish...

Eh, POV tends to be associated with bro porn which I find pretty pedestrian.

For my money something like what kink.com does is an idea of what good porn could be like.

As with anime...if it exists, there most likely is a fetish about it.
