    I've been reading a book called "To Be a Man" by Robert Masters. Has anyone else read it? It's fantastic IMUO (in my unhumble opinion ;))

    In the book are 6 or 7 chapters dedicated to navigating the murky waters of sex and porn.

    He doesn't shame men for porn and say that it's evil, nor does he condone it's use in the name of free speech/ sexual expression. He calls it out for what it is (in my interpretation) as exploiting women on screen and men off screen in the name of greed. Now that's not the important part.


    The important part is that he talks about outgrowing the desire for porn. This isn't putting a block on your phone or a filter on your computer or taking cold showers. All those things are useful but not permanent solutions. You will eventually find a way. I always found a way.

    We men need to outgrow our need for porn and limiting women to only their sexuality. This takes lots of mental and emotional work. It takes honesty with yourself always and others whenever possible. You need to see all the good parts of yourself and the bad stuff too. This is the way forward as is pointed out in the book.

    I know where I stand on this topic and agree with the author as I've been walking this path slowly but steadily.

    I'd like to know your thoughts and elaborations. Thanks for your input in advance.

    I think it's important to evolve the forum beyond not fapping and the positive results.
