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.
To be clear, the creator in question is a PhD candidate talking about the topic of his research. It’s not a “pseudo intellectual” it’s a literal academic.
I meant the tiktok format in general. Some of my favourite creators (like Milo Rossi) do the same thing with their tiktok videos, it just feels smug, arrogant, unpleasant and pseudointellectually smug, and unpleasant to watch as a result. I just don't think it is a good format for sharing information with people.
Ah yeah gotcha, that’s a difference of taste I guess, I find they can do a good job of conveying like, a medium amount of information, more than an image post but requires less dedication than like, an extended video or article.
