Pornography destroys the base of all human enlightenment, evolution, progress and prosperity.

(X) Doubt

What a ridiculous thing to say.

If you have a counter-argument, please post it. This site isn't a place for calling "ridiculous" without anything to back you up. Maybe you would like Reddit better. --->

You didn't post an argument, you posted hyperbole followed by silly conjecture. I merely observed your silly conjecture and critiqued it.

Also, I realize this is a very difficult concept for a lot of people on this site, but it's quite possible to think something is generally deleterious to society without claiming it alone is the basis of the fall of humanity and attaching some incredibly dull and juvenile conspiracy plot to it.

Offended Coomer, still can't provide a counter argument. Pro-tip: It's easier to type when you don't have your penis in one of your hands.

Since reproduction is the main driving force behind existence and civilization. Manipulating this drive and encouraging diverting it into useless endeavors instead can gradually have lingering repercussions on society as a whole.

I posted this video criticizing the porn industry, and that in your tiny little reptilian brain equals "coomer"? You're too dumb to argue with.

Ok Coomer, you're projecting.

Why are you so obsessed with my cum?

The stupidity part I understand but the cum obsession I don't.

I offered REASONING. But if it's too complex, ask questions and I'll break it down in easy-to-understand parts.

If you had a coherent argument you would have posted it already. This is very boring.

There is such a thing as porn-induced sexual dysfunction: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5039517/

Not to mention the much more obvious porn-induced RELATIONSHIP dysfunction: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/experimentations/201803/4-ways-porn-use-causes-problems

I'll stop there, but as I wrote before, it boils down to conditioning the nervous system to prefer instant gratification, which is purely animal, over delayed gratification, which is purely human. Delayed gratification is why humans have technology, science, language, advancement. Without it, we'd still be using large bones to hack at animals in order to kill, eat, survive.

That's great, man. You do realize nobody in this thread was arguing for porn being good, right?

Pornography destroys the base of all human enlightenment, evolution, progress and prosperity.

That's hyperbole and a subjective opinion. Perhaps if you had said:

Pornography has a demonstrable negative impact on delayed gratification, which I believe to be the base of all human enlightenment, evolution, progress and prosperity.

Then you would have clearly communicated your argument and kept it reasonable.

You are trolling. That is reprehensible.

Once again you have failed to produce an argument in support of your statement.

[–]konoplya 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

eh. you're doubling down because he called out your non argument, so you call him a troll. perhaps try to construct an actual argument next time and learn from this? nah, fucking trolls bro
