ZILtoid1991 32 points 10 months ago

Reminder, that porn addiction was made up by evangelists to push the narrative, that porn is always bad and must be banned.

This narrative, alongside with the rampant sexism and transphobia, caused a tremendous harm to my psyche, a lot more than what porn actually caused to me in my whole life (sore frenulum, and maybe that time could have been "spent better"). Humans are naturally hard wired to need it, unless they're aces, and similarly to those who are not as much into it, there are those who need sexual things much more.

Bingo. Just like video games, television/movies, work, collectibles, exercise, and house pets, any activity can become problematic, but it's not the activity itself that's the problem. The issue is the underlying pathology that drives someone to unhealthy levels of engagement.

It just occurred to me how willing society is to overlook problematic behavior if it's "productive". 80 hours a week working or making art? Likely to be accepted. 80 hours a week spent collecting figurines or working on your train set? Whoa there, crazy conductor!

ZILtoid1991 12 points 10 months ago

Even if we assume that porn/sex can be addictive, maybe it could create some habitual type situation, there are still these issues:

Other non-chemical addictions such as gambling are not being near as close stigmatized, only video gaming comes kind of close, and only because the very same people can blame mass shootings on it.
A lot of non-chemical addictions can be overcome with the smallest of willpower. A week later I deleted Xitter from my phone I barely checked the desktop version too, and I only have Facebook because family and friends. My country Hungary made tens of thousands of gamblers quit after they banned slot machines from pubs (rare Fidesz W, even if done to drive people into casinos).
Even actual chemical addictions like tobacco and alcohol is sidelined, if not outright encouraged, because "muh nashunal treshurs" like in Hungary.
Porn addiction is often described as just as bad if not worse than cocaine, as a scare tactic. I'm a habitual consumer of porn, but there were times I could not get access to it and were fine, and the times I wasn't fine was due to I couldn't masturbate at all (which nowadays includes anal masturbation too), and it just seems like I have a higher drive than what other guys should have.

People can get addicted to anything. People literally get addicted to water and drink so much it dilutes the sodium in their body.
If you are going to ban porn because one freak spanks his monkey nonstop then you need to ban water as well because people can actually die from those reduced sodium levels ... but won't die from a monkey spanking porn marathon.
