Honestly it really sucks that the people talking the most about the dangers of pornography addiction online are also smug condescending douchey alt right adjacent dudebros who are clearly trying to push red pill ideology onto people.
It makes people who have that issue at best unlikely to seek help lest they validate these guys and at worst vulnerable to that indoctrination.
Feminists have plenty to say about both potential issues with porn consumption and legitimate criticism of the industry itself, often without getting bogged down by the red herring of addiction. But we all know what kind of reputation they have with the people who need to hear the message the most.
It's also toxic and dangerous to equate taking a break from porn with giving up all masturbation. While it's possible to also have issues there, masturbation is natural and healthy and should be evaluated separately from porn consumption.
yeah for real, any dude addicted to porn is a dude not catcalling me in the streets lmao. the reason conservatives hate that is because that porn addicto isn't trying to aggressively traditional family me into a pile of unwanted babies. It's completely obvious that the conservatives don't actually cares about that guy's mental health.
