The Porn Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. - If only you knew how bad things really are.

[ZeCommissar]

One thing I've been starting to see slowly creep into discourse online is porn and the detrimental effects it has on society as a whole, especially when it comes to young men. However, despite the emergence of said discourse in recent years it has done almost seemingly little to nothing to blunt the usage and expansion of online pornography.

Most recent statistics claim that 9-11% of men are addicted to porn. I find this extremely hard to believe considering a lot of these "studies" just ask "Are you addicted to porn?" which is just asking for people to either outright lie, or downplay their usage. When has asking an addict "are you addicted?" ever worked?

It doesn't help that most of these "studies" are before the covid pandemic when people were shut in, and the prominent rise of OF. Now admittedly I'm pulling this number out of my ass, but if I were to take a guess it would probably at least be close to 20% or even 25%, especially among Gen Z. Maybe porn addiction is far lower in Boomers and Gen X, which is why it goes to the 11% figure. I'm not even exactly sure what the hell they're even counting as addiction. Is it watching it every day once, watching it for 5 hours every day, or just watching it 3 times a week? Personally, if someone smokes crack 3 days a week I would consider them a crack addict.

For those of you that hit puberty in the years before the internet, or during its infancy before it became commonplace among every household just imagine being 13 and instead of stumbling upon dads spicy magazine, you had a tool where you could look up "Im stuck stepbro!" or "tiny Asian slammed anally while being folded like a pretzel by 3 guys" every single day. I mean for fuck sake we have instances of men in their mid-20s being unable to get it up in front of their naked girlfriends because they jack off too much, something pretty much unheard of 30 years ago. When I first heard of this I thought someone was just trolling, but no "porn-induced ED" is a real thing.

I don't even want to think about the potential effects this will have on Gen Alpha. At least the oldest Gen Z grew up in a time when the internet was still growing, and smartphones weren't everywhere until they were teens. Gen Alpha will be having Big Tiddy Latinas on their screen on day 1, and parents give their kids smartphones like candy without even taking basic precautions to monitor their use.

Are there any solutions to this? Banning porn just doesn't seem feasible without going full Islam draconian on it, and I doubt that has popular support in the West. It would also drive it underground while making the material far worse and put it alongside CP. The coomers would do anything to get their fix, and booting up Tor Browser isn't the hardest thing in the world.

Now the oh-so-competent government will spend resources on cracking down on consensual porn between two adults (or now just straight-up sex slave porn since laws don't matter to a black market) which may take away resources from catching truly evil shit like CP, or just bloat the government even more which neither is a good option. You could convince me banning porn is the solution if you could prove there would just be "growing pains" and it would filter itself out after a couple of generations, but I fear the internet let a terrible genie out of the bottle.

We could scream from the high heavens about how bad it is, but EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME people do you immediately see coomer hands type on a keyboard "Ummmm it's a perfectly natural thing to do. Why are you just purity guilt-tripping yourself? Its fine to jack it brooo" A sexually frustrated 14-year-old is going to be like "Whew glad someone said it! maybe those other guys are just overreacting! I mean a lot of people say it's fine so here I go!"

Oh and while I'm sure you know this is mostly about men. While porn usage is growing amongst young women, its not really at levels to raise eyebrows at yet. We have to worry more about young women going into porn than consuming it.

Am I overreacting? It feels like I'm slowly going insane when I think about this topic.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

i honestly don't believe porn addiction exists and its more of a symptom of a lack of sex. from what i remember from classes on sex back in college porn consumption drops like a stone the second someone is having sex on a routine basis, which is also why pre-internet porn it was either people in dead bedrooms or marty/travis bickle-type 'cels that used and brought pornography. the reason you're seeing it in younger people is a lack of sex as well, if we just cultivated a culture where its the norm for the young to fuck like rabbits porn consumption would drop like a stone again.

assholes like you whined to high heaven about teen pregnancy and helicopter'd kids from being able to have basement fun times with their friends and now wonder why the youth jerk off to "porn"

beyond that is what you consider porn, are the boobie streamers on twitch porn to you? how about the sex scenes on tv shows? how about girls dancing on tiktok? Same thing with fanfiction or romance novels, do you consider those to be porn? obviously you're going to give me a real boomer answer but its a real question. And depending on the answer it leads to wildly different solutions.

faggots like you think of porn like its something with a simple solution like trans stuff, but its more like saying you're anti-gay in the current year while being perfectly fine with troons, NBs, queers, and intersex types. And if you're not willing to really get into the dirty details it just makes you seem very ignorant on the issues enitrely.

. While porn usage is growing amongst young women, its not really at levels to raise eyebrows at yet. We have to worry more about young women going into porn than consuming it.

WRONG AGAIN FUCKFACE, porn consumption is actually down among women, especially young women, at least if you use polls that include harlequin novels and romance novels and AO3 stories and other erotica as porn. which you fucking should because its 10x as likely to be consumed by women and thats because of the psychological differences between men and women. women enjoy being able to imagine vs guys need to see big tits. People like you talked about the normalization of porn while fucking fabio was all over the place in the 90s, could you imagine if fucking Stormy Daniels in the 90s was making guest appearances on TGIF shows? because that is literally the equivalence. Even now, its considered a funny character trait that the little girl on bob's burgers is addicted to erotica and writes them because every woman has apparently gone through that phase, could you imagine how pissed off ignorant men like you would have been if say bart from the simpsons was all about watching porn

Beyond that. I think the concept of porn addiction in general is overblown, i haven't watched porn in a long time, years but i'd get "you watch porn too much" from ignorant women because i didn't get turned on by them being a lazy starfish in the bedroom. I think thats the biggest think, women memeing porn addiction as a reason guys don't treat them to the sort of fucking they imagined harry styles giving them in the AO3 stories they wrote. They think guys should be practically cumming just from seeing them naked because thats how it worked in american pie. If you notice women that actually have an understanding of being sexual don't really complain about porn addiction and its usually the ben shapiros of the world that do.

and the prominent rise of OF.

i'd say thats actually a net good. 99% of OF content is soft core, meaning stuff that is less spicy than what someone might see on a tv show or movie. i know fags like you will go "but they could see the super hardcore stuff!" but they probably won't if they already jizzed to the hot chick posing like its a playboy magazine. in general hardcore porn was always a massive niche of the adult entertainment industry especially outside the US where seeing naked women on tv and in newspapers was a lot more common. In fact that's said to be a huge reason the porn industry in europe is so small compared to say Japan which has 1/10th the population but also won't allow content more spicy than kissing to be shown on tv.

in front of their naked girlfriends because they jack off too much, something pretty much unheard of 30 years ago.

women have literally doubled in size compared to 30 years ago (incoming null-tier faggots going "and thats a good thing") like yeah of course a guy won't be able to get a boner upon seeing a 200 pound woman with armpit hair and a gut. Are you really saying you would have gotten a boner if you saw a woman that looked like modern day lena dunham naked back in the 90s? (this is where you say yes)

will be having Big Tiddy Latinas

thats how i know you're a faggot. those big tiddies are usually on 300 pound women. and the fact you don't account for demographics while talking about your bullshit study also proves it, every black dude will tell you about sneaking into porno theaters at like 8, last century. the sex drive of blacks and latinos is boosting the rates of "porn addiction" in youth because they're also more likely to be black and latino.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

i honestly don't believe porn addiction exists

 

[Trump's Chosen]

The pornography problem is a morality void. If more people were moral and invested for fighting for a better world, fewer people would be able to buy and sell sex, fewer women would be trafficked, and fewer men would ruin their relationships over faux sex that pornography and sex trade offers.

women have literally doubled in size compared to 30 years ago (incoming null-tier faggots going "and thats a good thing") like yeah of course a guy won't be able to get a boner upon seeing a 200 pound woman with armpit hair and a gut.

I'm sure it's part of it, but I'd say the testosterone levels dropping for 50 years straight plays a bigger role.

[Alex Hogendorp]

The birth rates are only gonna continuously decline regardless whether porn is fewer or more ubiquitous. Humans are likely not built on this technology or it may have run it's course already.

This has got to be the most retarded pedophilic fag shit I've read this week alone nigga, spoken exactly like someone with an agenda to push.

Not to mention that the first sentence alone sets a creepy-as-all-hell tone/implication when we remember that porn addiction starts most commonly in teenagers.

Porn is a cancer that leads to the travesties we see in the furry freakshow art thread, and it should be killed off.

Now, we're asking the real questions

You say this like it's a bad thing.

The coomers would do anything to get their fix, and booting up Tor Browser isn't the hardest thing in the world.

But we'd have fewer coomers.

My cousin was addicted to porn by the time he was 11. I'm pretty sure that 6th graders don't need to be having sex.

 

[Beastie]

There's nothing that you can do to stop it and those in power have no interest in stopping it either. It's best to worry about yourself and accept that whether it's a real problem or not nothing meaningful is going to be done to limit porn consumption.

It's a brave new world, you can only take care of yourself and your own kids.

but if I were to take a guess it would probably at least be close to 20% or even 25%, especially among Gen Z

Pornhub released its 2024 dataset just the other day and they've seen a decline in young viewers. Likely they've moved to other platforms, but I think it's interesting to note.

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

Porn addiction is just a symptom of a much deeper cultural sickness. Loneliness is an epidemic and corporations have the "cure". Modern society profits off of the sickness and making it worse, so it's unlikely to ever be cured.

Just enjoy your time while you have it, unless you have the balls to deny, defend, depose.

like i said, why jerk off to pornhub when you can jerk off to twitch and tiktok? as much as people on the farms whines about tittystreamers they somehow forget that twitch is basically a porn site and get all offended when you call it that.

also as someone mentioned in the porn thread, they're clearly lying in the data sets now, like teen and teen affiliated things used to constantly be at the top of the search rankings but now don't show up at all. and when you look at the top ranked pornstars its rather obvious they're fucking with the stats because they don't want to embolden the antiporn people

I hear you yap and this is all I can see:

Give your meat a break bruh, you don't need to nut 9 times a day.

 

[Kovachs]

The birth rates are only gonna continuously decline regardless whether porn is fewer or more ubiquitous. Humans are likely not built on this technology or it may have run it's course already.

Countries with heavy restrictions on porn (i.e the People's Republic of China, Iran, the DPRK etc.) still have falling birthrates. I think that falling birthrates has to do with a mixture of environmental exposure to plastics which may have adverse effects on fertility, and the proliferation of contraceptives, including not just prophylactics like condoms but also the pill. Blaming porn or whatever is a meme.

One thing I've been starting to see slowly creep into discourse online is porn and the detrimental effects it has on society as a whole, especially when it comes to young men. However, despite the emergence of said discourse in recent years it has done almost seemingly little to nothing to blunt the usage and expansion of online pornography.

I think most negative aspects of porn use are also applicable to social media use more generally, including this very site, and to a degree which is far worse than extended porn use.

Come on man, we both know what's happening to that Vaporeon plush.

I didn't consider this, but that does seem likely. With payment processors clamping down on them it's bad optics if "barely legal" tops the stats.

jerking off to pokemon also is not porn so another L for @WelperHelper99 and @ZeCommissar (i'm joking obviously)

its pretty obvious, like are you really telling me somehow teen isn't in the top 30 searches anywhere on the planet? especially when apparently every flip under 30 is using pornhub? especially when half the top search terms for gays on pornhub is some variation of "boy" or "twink"?

Come on now.

[Paper Machete]

Porn is a vice. It's bad for you. But you can get away if you at least keep yourself to the somewhat "normal" stuff and don't do it too often. The major problem is up until recently only fringe uppity prudes would dare even talk about it through the lens of addiction and no one wanted to listen to them until it's began reaching critical mass.

Also big rainbows to anyone thinking the normal age for porn exposure is 13. It's in the single digits for a lot.
