I have nothing against normal relationships and sex. It's just that porn is actually far more addictive than people think and to top it all it's being recommended by doctors to avoid prostate cancer!

The problem with porn is that it is never as fulfilling as real sex, that's why many people will not moderate and like any addiction escalate. In addition it will give you a type of instant variety that you can never find in real life! I completely agree, that it won't have the same effect for everyone, drugs and addictions are highly personalized. Is it the most addictive drug ever? of course not, but I can assure you it's not just a release. If someone wants to engage in it, he must understand it's just like alcohol or any addictive substance if not more dangerous because it is quite underrated and has become widespread.

Porn is part of dopamine addictions, novelty seeking behavior and like any addiction you will find those who have had severe problems from it.

I would say the problem of pornography is too big that it is quite hard to do real studies on its effect because you will be hard to find those who didn't engage in it to compare.

" The problem with porn is that it is never as fulfilling as real sex "

Correction: Not as fulfilling as a real relationship.

I've had unfulfilling sex with people, and odds are that I've disappointed some too. I know I haven't tried remotely as much with people I didn't care as much for, and I tried the most to please those who I wanted to want me.

Sex with love is almost ALWAYS better.

I'd be curious to know if they have studied Gen X before, during, and after the rise of internet porn, and how that compares and will compare to later generations who will have always been exposed to it. Perhaps Gen X who weren't so corrupted in their youth won't be so affected in our old age - or maybe we'll be worse for it than later generations.

Comparatively, I'd like America to ditch all the age limits on alcohol like Europe and beyond. (And/or decriminalize all drugs like Portugal.) Sure the first generations might abuse their freedom, but eventually it will be normalized and no biggie for most.

People who need to escape need help not with what they're escaping from FAR more than what they're escaping with. Spend more money on that than drug wars, censorship, and such.

IMO, you'd need to start broadly with many people to gauge their forthcoming honesty in order to select the best and drill down to their sexual experiences. Certainly this alone will bias the results, but at least you can try to establish an "honest" baseline ballpark to further develop. It's far from impossible.

A lot of things can be improved if there is an actual intention, but I doubt governments want the true well being of their populations, besides, now we are moving into a completely new paradigm. I really can't wrap my head on how things will be in 10 years or what they have in store for us.

If you ask me, the reason drugs were banned was to jack up the prices and in the US to build the prison system institutes which is also highly profitable. CIA is of course highly involved in drug dealing. Governments all over the world just catch whoever isn't working for the big guys or who has been fatten up enough.

As you hinted, people do not become addicted due to a substance, but because it's an escape. Things are so messed up that everyone is an addict of some sort or to some degree.

You are correct, the more mature generations do not have it as bad as the young ones. Their brains have been developed before high internet speed pornography. I mean back in the days of VCR, if someone watched one or 2 new movies a week he was rolling! Now!! People have 20 tabs open at the same time and clicking for more. This makes a world of difference.

Kids these days, start on the most extreme types of porn when they are 12!! Their brains are a mess!

Drug war was for:

  1. More police and militarizing it
  2. More prisons and slave labour
  3. Disenfranchise voters
  4. Excuse for international interventions (war)
  5. Covert funding
  6. Target poor communities
  7. Divide families and communities
  8. Harm minds and perceptions
  9. Maintain a monopoly on status quo reality
  10. More Machiavellian reasons...

Don't forget about the toxic environment and soy milk turning the frogs and kids gay. Plus the confusing media messages about what is or is not appropriate behaviour. Macho men used to be admired. Maybe some were obnoxious and took it too far, but there's a balance. Besides selling tobacco, the Marlborough Man dint do nuffin, and most men would've wanted to be like him.
