The article discusses the anti-p0rn agenda and how it effects men/women.

Their argument suggests that control of sexuality was historically one of women’s only commodities, and that women had to control the market, so to speak, by stigmatizing, shaming and suppressing those who might offer free, easy, or cheap sex

I'm amazed at how many threads pop up in the main section of this forum and high school section against masturbating/looking at p0rn. I can understand the issues that crop up when one over indulges, but so many say its bad for you based on nothing more than what a feminist society wants them to think.

I think it is way too easy to overindulge in porn, and in general I dont think it is good for the male mind.

I did a no fap/no porn challenge last spring and it was really a good thing for my mind. I was more sensitive to real stimuli (girls' bodies), and I didn't compulsively jack off anymore. My mind wasn't inundated with porn highlight reels and I actually focused on more productive things like reading and my hobbies.

Porn can DEFINITELY be an addiction---you become addicted to the dopamine rush of novelty. It precludes a guy from getting out there and catching real women. Plus I think as you get older it gets harder and harder (lol) to fap without some visual stimulation; all the more reason to stop fapping or use women as your only sexual outlet.

I think moderate "light" porn (non-hardcore stuff) is probably fine, but it takes a lot of self control to stay in that safe zone.

but watching EFUKT is so much lolz ahaha

and hey whats wrong with the hardcore stuff?

 

[corrector]

The hardcore stuff is the most addictive component of porn and you are outside of a safe zone where any benefit of this stuff is replaced with a liability. As Colossus says, it takes self-control to stay in the "safe zone".

I wouldn't look at porn unless I was really struggling and failing with women if that's what I really want out of life. Then at least you are actually using it as a last resort rather than an addiction.

That's the whole point of the OP. That women are controlling the sex and the only counter-balance is that guys have access to seeing women on the internet and masturbating on them. What does hardcore porn fit into that?

With softcore, or soft porn you can at least imagine having sex with that image, and that can be realistic with a sex-toy being used. So, if that's supposed to substitute a woman's monopoly over sex by having these virtual experiences then that sounds like some sort of arguement at least.

It's your own imaginary experience, not some voyeristic second-hand experience like hardcore porn which a likely well-endowed alpha male (i.e. unlike yourself) is getting off on someone. I don't see how it would fit into that model. Remember, feminism thinking is against M6s or below, especially if you have thinning hair, but it goes out the window when dealing with attractive guys who wouldn't need to look at softcore porn.
