Why is there so much porn on the internet?

[CrONoS]

@Dis
It took me two weeks to stop masturbating. I wasn't able to stop watching porn and continue masturbating. I had to stop it completely, these two together.

I also took another decision, I decided to go talk to girl I was attracted to. I didn't spoke to them in order to sleep with them, but just to have a conversation with them and learn how to spoke to a women. I found that it's easy to talk to a girl.

Really, to stop masturbating was a illuminating experience in my life. I was afraid to become more perverts ( by the act of suppression (refoulement)), but after two weeks, I was surprised that I stopped being so obsessed with sex. I thought it was a more natural sex drive...

I'm pretty sure I was addicted to porn and one of the best decisions of the last years was to stop masturbating. It completely changed my relation to women. I believe that masturbation for some men is an infantile way to have "sex life". For some of them, masturbation it's their only sex life.

Two month later, I met a girl and she is now my girlfriend. Since I began masturbating (around 14y old) I never stopped having a regular sex life( at least 2-3 times a week) (masturbating, girlfriend, f**k friend).

and yes I admit I may be addicted. Hence why I made this thread. I feel bad about it.

It's weird, I have this catholic guilt even though I never really went to catholic church. I think in all I went to church less than 10 or 20 times. But I think it was a leftover from my mother's family. Or maybe I have mormon guilt left over from my father's family. Who knows.

But I feel bad. Because I know porn is objectifying women. but some women I like to see their face splattered with... errr you know. I feel bad about that.

I'd blame that on lack of sex, not porn. I do believe lack of sex is harmful. This is why I don't believe priests should be celibate.

Although you could argue lack of sex leads to porn.

Yet married men watch porn. Something I'll never understand.

Sex is not like eating; more you have sex, more you need sex. Abstinence can be dangerous for some (many) men, but for some others it can be a relieving experience and leads them to chastity (I spoke of mental chastity or spiritual chastity,).

@Dis: But women objectify themselves, or put themselves in situations where they are objectified. Some of them might even objectify men.

We don't know why, but it happens. And eevn if it really is "society" that makes them do it, how is one man going to undo that? Why lay that on your shoulders, why worry? Why act a ****ing martyr when nobody gives a ****? It is better to go with the flow, and makes for a much happier person. Watch porn in the safe assurance that it is something that healthy men and women do.

The alternative is that our majority culture is insane, and that sounds like something a communist might say.

@Cronos: You're just getting old.

I have what appears to be a girlfriend now, one with a greater sex drive than I have. I'm quite satisfied in that department, yet I still masturbate to porn. And so does she. It's a fun activity and it relieves stress. Where's the harm?

[CrONoS]

@Lori
You're not in the same situation than Dis.

Dis seems to see that has a problem, and I think he is right to think this is a problems. I wouldn't have appeared in this discussion if Dis didn't thought this was a problem. I shared my experience in that dept, and in my case, it's really the best decision that I took. And I say this not because it leads me to find love... but because of maturity I took in my sex life during my period of sexual abstinence and other positive externalities I found out during this period of abstinence.

Also, I can't understand how you can masturbate to porn if you are in love with your girlfriend...

@Cronos: You're just getting old.

Thank you! As a matter of fact, you prove my point!

Who said I was in love with my girlfriend? We've only been together for about a month and a half.

But that's not the issue.

Masturbation provides me with an orgasm and nothing more. And sometimes that's all I need.

Sex with my girlfriend, on the other hand, provides me with emotional and physical intimacy that I could get nowhere else. They're two different things.

I understand.

[Dis]

oh and I prefer to keep the thread in general terms. Not about me. I've gone in too much detail about that already . Let's just say I lost focus earlier this year, but I'm back in focus.

So in general terms I'd have to agree with kitchum. They do objectify themselves, they do bring this upon themselves. going with the flow seems like the best course of action.

But I do believe a majority of society is insane. But I'm not a communist.

As for Cronos suggestion. It might be something I try someday as an experiment, but I'm not about to adopt that philosophy any time soon.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Also, I can't understand how you can masturbate to porn if you are in love with your girlfriend...

Call it multi-tasking.

You should be open minded, and free spirited and try it!

Anyway, back to the topic!

No kidding. Porn can help smooth the edges when two libidos and schedules don't match up exactly, no matter how in love the two people behind them are.

[-Jrabbit]

I checked the Internet today, and there is indeed pornography on it.

[Riesstiu IV]

Where?
