I'm glad you spoke up, btw. I am fond of asking people from other countries if they have this same ingrained terror of pornography (because we tend to export this kind of behavior around the world). Glad that's not a thing where you are.

I cannot emphasize enough how bad shit is in this country. It's also worth mentioning that White Christian Nationalist Puritanism is not just the backbone of which this country is built upon, but it never left.

It just pops back up in different disguises. And it always works.

It's wild to be looking in from the outside of the US sometimes. Grown ass people going on about porn addiction like it's fentanyl is like a society where adults believe in santa clause and argue over the long term mental health effects of seeing him come down ur chimney too rarely vs too often.

In my experience, the people who regularly say they were just fine afterwards end up very much not being so.

Or they end up one of the walking wounded. "Why am I tired all the time, why does my body have weird shooting pains, I have trouble breathing sometimes, I got this weird infection recently"

“I’ve had Covid a few times, it was mild, I’m fine!”

NOPE.

Prevent EVERY infection. N95 mask and clean the air. The vaccine does NOT prevent infection.

“…The most glaring omission is the widespread frontotemporal brain damage people have suffered from repeat infections with a neuroinvasive virus. It's well documented how such damage manifests as emotional instability, memory problems, decreased reasoning abilities, & a lesser capacity for empathy.”

The vaccine is to the disease as a Kevlar Vest is to a bullet.

I used to see people accusing Dr. Prause of "being in the pocket of Big Pornography" and that she was conspiring to get good red blooded American men and women hooked on porn so they would trans their gender and have sex with black people regularly, proving your point.

Disagree with the scientists who actually study, this not me, I’m just the messenger!

Check out Nicole Prause on Twitter to see how these right wing groups routinely harass her for disputing their “porn addiction” claim with actual science.

“Pornography addiction” is not a diagnosis

As research continues into the nature of the problem people experience with viewing pornography, one thing has become clear: anti-porn…

That is why so many religions include pleas to deliver one's self from evil in some part of their corpus, because that's real. It's to stop you from being dragged down that particular path.

That's the funny thing with evil people. They are aware of the irredeemable nature of their actions, they can feel their souls being pulled towards the vortex and know something is going wrong, but are helpless to stop themselves.
