I feel like it’s historically been more of a misogyny issue that’s fed in part by gay porn, through ad revenue and sales. Now with Mindgeek owning some of the biggest porn production companies, gay and straight alike, as well as the streamers like pornhub, virtually all porn is part of the problem, though straight porn will always be more skeevy, but it’s all one interconnected incestuous web.

And that’s not touching the psychological impact. I’ve been with too many men and spoken to too many men who weren’t able to get off without the presence of porn to think it’s not part of a larger phenomenon, myself included but it’s gotten better with decreased usage. I shudder to think of what it’s doing to the minds of children and young people who watch it and have easy access to really frankly eroticized violence on video.

yeah, i do share that concern too, lots of horror stories from r/nofap say it started when they were really young boys.
