I don't think it will do any of those things, but overconsuming porn can have more damaging effects than just plain social media.

I'm not saying its neccesarily bad though.

You just did. You called me delusional for saying otherwise. It's been the central conceit of this conversation.

Thats not what I meant, sorry if it came off as otherwise.
Your original comment was:

Being on porn sites all day is healthier than being on social media all day.

Which is definitely false. Porn, occasionally and controllably, is fine! But constant - and regular - porn viewing is definetely harmful.

Not fuckin' really, no. Except in basically the same way as any media addiction, like doomscrolling on any safe-for-work hellsite.

While both are addictive, porn is far more addictive, and it give short term dopamine spikes, which makes everything else seem less interesting or enjoyable, again, this is only regular watching.

Rates of doomscrolling versus... habitual gooning... suggest that you're recycling some moral-panic conclusions without re-examining the science. Antipatterns have made the disorganized attachment of places like this far more common and far more popular than pornography.

If dopamine's all you're worried about, worry more about mobile games than the naked fanart of their characters.

For the dopamine thing, while crappy mobile games do have an impact, its not as severe as porn.
