My Question is why shouldn't we watch porn when it's easily available to us? What's your answer?

    You say you're not talking about real, hardcore porn, just nude pics. I think this is a slippery slope you're on. The nude pics will eventually lead to Porn Hub. Don't kid yourself.

    Being able to see the hottest women do the hottest things whenever you want is great but it comes at a price, unfortunately it's not until you start to experience the consequences that you begin to realise the cost. You can get away with it for a while but eventually it catches up with you, our brains weren't designed to withstand that level of constant stimulation. Just like how too much sugar will rot your teeth, too much porn will rot your brain.

    I've gotten off to renaissance paintings. Some are definitely presented as sexual, and of course, there's always my intent but that's the point. I'm an addict. Until I reboot, of course that's always going to be my intent. My brain has to go that direction, that's how I trained it, it's barely capable of doing anything else.

    Because it takes your attention away from IRL women. Most likely the nude pics you see on the Internet are of really hot women with DD cup (or any specific size) breasts and a nice ass. However, IRL women tend not to "look" as good as those nude pics on the Internet. However, you have to take into account that the nude pics were taken at specific angles, could be Photoshopped, and many of the women in them have had plastic surgery to look "better".
    These facts take our attention away from IRL women and make us not desire them as much, which can be troubling.

    Bcoz of the addictive nature of the human mind.
    You won't stop at watching nudes.
    Almost all members here started with nudes, then straight, then God knows what, and then "oh no , my life is ruined, please help".
    Escalation is the name of the game.
    Sugar is free too.( almost). Should we consume it the way the modern human is consuming it?

    Thanks. Carbon-based women with a soul are better than pixel-based, soulless women

    My car can go 130 mp/h but it's sketchy af because it's a tiny old hatchback with questionable breaking power and not much in terms of crumple zone and safety features, plus it uses up way more fuel than a porsche would if you rev it up that much.
    Same goes for my dick(except the tiny old hatchback part :p)...

    yeah but paintings are different because they arent real....i get that porn isnt "real" either because its just 2 actors getting paid to have sex but what they are doing is the real thing aka having sex like the rest of us do. however i am curious, why would a painting make you have sexual thoughts ?

    If you want, it isn't a problem.

    My reason is I am tired of this and don't want it anymore.

    We never watch pictures or videos of foods, because they are not real and they do not satisfy hunger, it just makes our mouth water. Porn is a hundred times worse!

    The brain doesn't really distinguish between porn and real sex for both thing you will release the same hormones. Your brain will be fooled into thinking its spreading its genes all over and it will become complacent in other areas of life thinking that it has mastered its purpose. I dont know something like that but you get my point. Your just fooling yourself

    But yeah I have also wondered If I cant see the pictures of beautiful women then what is the point of life. But then I remember priest, monks and people who have devoted their lifes to being celibate. And they live very happy fulffling lifes. So if they can I dont see why we cant do it either

    Hentai isn't real.
    Nothing about P is real. The women aren't getting off, the men have to inject serum into their dicks between takes to stay hard. The angles are designed for what looks appealing, not what feels good. There's a fat, greasy, hairy schmuck shouting instructions at the pair just out of shot. The entire reason it is happening, the entire reason we're watching, isn't natural. S is for procreation and bonding. You'd have to be an idiot to deny it's fun as well, but P takes the other two elements and throws them all the way out the window. P makes it seem like S's only purpose is recreation. It's like thinking soccer is about shouting "GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!," so you make a highlight reel of only that and sell endless variations of it where people are shouting louder and longer and with more gravel in their voices, and people forget entirely about the ball and the grass and what makes the goal interesting in the first place. And an entire generation of young men grow up with the vague notion that there's more to soccer than shouting "GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!," but they don't know what and don't much care anyway because shouting "GOAL!" is so much damn fun.

    I feel like maybe that metaphor ran away from me.

    That's kind of my point, it's that it's not the painting at all. I crave erotic stimulus so much, I see it in the weirdest places. I'm the problem, not the painting.

    Some of those Renaissance ladies are thicc tho

    Love that metaphor dude ;) Reminded me a bit of an Alan Watts lecture where he compared living only to reach a specific goal like reaching the top of the career ladder to going to a concert only to hear the last note and forgetting about the dancing along the whole journey.
    Also agree on those Renaissance babes

    ...You haven't gone as far down the porn route as I have
     
  20. It's an easy fix, but not realistic. After the fog lifts I now see that I need attainable goals not digital ones.
