i'm called "jew" when i oppose pornography and the same would happen if i supported it 🙄
@georgia it's ok to be against it though.
@iceloops @georgia I think it's done a ton of damage to society but I can't imagine how to meaningfully suppress it in the internet and smartphone age without insanely intrusive and sophisticated machine learning and surveillance

@mrsaturday @iceloops it needs to come from organic social change. i pity the shit out of straight women who have to navigate this.
@mrsaturday @iceloops @georgia Is there any evidence the brain can somehow recover from the way porn affects it? The consequences if not are dire to say the least.

@mrsaturday @iceloops @georgia Relieving at least. I think we'd truly be fucked if that effect was permanent. Being a life long viagra customer to even conceive a child sounds hellish.
@Telvannichad @mrsaturday @iceloops viagra commercials for young men designed to "debunk" the notion that only older men have ED and "lift stigma" on ED in younger men disgust me. pharmaceutical companies would of course much rather provide the treatment than the cure.

@georgia @Telvannichad @iceloops @mrsaturday pornography/sex work seems a natural correlary of the acceptance of sex without marriage; particularly where competition for higher status mates is intense - a correlary of high inequality.
we had religious restrictions which kept this stuff somewhat in check, either we go back (unlikely) or we have to develop new cultural means to channel it.
