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.
ok go to pornhub and tell me the top 20 categories
That doesn’t really say anything about porn inherently, just that we live in a fascist society.
Nowhere else in our "fascist" society is this level of overt fascism tolerated. I could not go to work or go on television and start categorizing women by color and how fuckable they are because of that, or how slurs need to be choked hard or whatever. Mainstream porn's overt and explicit fascism exceeds any other facet of our society, meaning it has a special quality above and beyond that of the rest of society. Or is the outlet and release for the pent up fascist sexual frustrations of the populace. Either way, that makes Porn in our society fascist. Doesn't matter if it's the chicken or the egg, at the end of the day it's extremely fascist in its actual existing state
Also, it's not just pornhub or our society. Go to Russian, African, Spanish speaking or Chinese porn sites and you will find the same thing
Sex (and especially kink) is where people explore the extremes of human emotion. Sexual spaces are more blatant about everything. We live in a fascist society, so the open fascism becomes very apparent. But you can also find plenty of porn that is quite literally the active opposite of that.
i'm talking about the industry as it exists while you are talking about the platonic ideal of porn in a vaccuum. We are not going to come to a consensus on this because of this
And I completely disagree with your notion that sexual spaces are just more blatant about everything. Where on Pornhub is the extremely blatant Marxist section? Porn addiction only goes one way, towards more and more extreme ends of fetishization, humiliation, degredation, objectification, etc. It doesn't tend towards the extremity of humanitarianism or equality.
when i jerk off all day to online pornography, i'm not jerking off to porn inherently; i'm jerking off to porn within a neoliberal order which purports to best provide individual preference satisfaction but because of the profit motive and class realities provides a world incentivized to indulge my selfish impulses at the expense of workers and the collective good and my own opportunity for actual intimacy.
no one cares about porn inherently, no one jerks off to porn inherently.
Idealism upon idealism in here because people don’t want to introspect
