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.
"Looking at porn in private" or "looking at porn secretly taking precautions to not be caught" is going to be perceived different than "looking at porn at work" by most people
Yeah, no. The only incident they could possibly be referring to was one user that explicitly tried to defend "looking at porn at work where others can see it" when called out on it being harassment and not assault.
I guess to me the secret part was implied because it seems like conduct which would result in instant firing or close to it if discovered. Depends on the workplace I suppose.
Always good to clarify because I'm often clueless about implications in text.
if i hear "looking at porn at work" i'm assuming that's like in a toilet stall on your phone, or in an office you can lock and have some privacy.
Guess I'm built different but i think it's reasonable to assume some people interpreted it in the least charitable way when claiming it's akin to assault. Whether you agree with the characterisation or not
