I hope we all know this and are just doing it as a bit, but sometimes I do see shit on this website that makes me go “Oh y’all are genuinely just weird prudes”

The “gooner epidemic” is not real, gooning is an incredibly niche kink that very few people engage in.

“Porn addiction” is basically non existent and affects such a small portion of the population as to not be relevant. The idea that most people have in their heads about porn addiction is propaganda made up by evangelicals.

We do not live in an overly-sexually-liberated time. There is not an excess of sexual content or exposure to it.

Most of the time when people talk about “the gooner problem” what they’re actually talking about is a mix of two unrelated things, people living normal sexually liberated lives, and undersocialized young men that don’t know how to interact with people.

Sex is good. We should be having more of it. We should encourage healthy, safe sex featuring whatever kinks you and your partner(s) consent to. Don’t fall for puritan propaganda comrades.

It really really isn’t??? And the fact that you’re claiming it is is actually very concerning to me and definitely detracts from actual sexual assault like WizardofLoneliness said

Okay but the user and event I assumed they are talking about that actually did happen was people rightfully calling out a guy that admitted to looking at porn at work as doing sexual harassment not assault and so it came off as bad faith defense of that individual hence my knee-jerk response.

Ah yes I was not aware of the details of the specific incident, I was just thinking of the countless cases I’ve heard of people getting in trouble for watching porn at work where it’s just weird. If the specific incident was fucked your reaction totally makes sense
