How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ?

This TED talk discusses basically that topic

Also if you think you are alone in having problems with pornography, Terry Crews admitted it almost destroyed his marriage

I struggled with it for years and finally was able to quit watching it. I think porn is fine for most people and masterbation is normal, but I personally had problems controlling myself. I still wank it, but do so to my own imagination.

I'm curious if you've seen this TED talk and what you think of it. It's an interesting argument that while our brains can handle porn, excessive use can cause behavioral changes such as preferring porn over a real partner.

I agree with you on this. Let it handle things you don't care about and massage the output if necessary. Anything I do care about, I code myself, but will ask for help if I get stuck on something. I'm a novice programmer at best, 18/100 skill score.

Many people don't understand that porn is a super stimuli and our brains can be rewired to prefer it over normal sex. They will also argue it is propaganda to suggest such a thing - primarily because of the stigma around sex in a puritan society like ours.

I'm no saint here and don't have an easy button for you. All I can suggest is go as long as you can without porn, then masturbate to your imagination. The longest streak I've managed to avoid porn did this. It may not work for you, but its worth a try.

I realized I had similar issues you mentioned and found online communities that don't discriminate like rebootnation. Another good reminder that this can happen to anyone is the YouTube series by Terry fucking Crews: dirty little secret. If he had a problem with porn, anyone can.

Probably for statistical curiosity about ratios of different types of beans in the packet. Maybe you're being shafted on expensive beans?

A lot of speculation on your part without any evidence to the contrary. If you want to engage in good faith dialogue, be prepared with sources and not personal opinions.

Also your username in itself is a reference to white nationalism, so...

I think that in a society like ours where sex is shamed by some groups, there is absolutely a need to break that paradigm and make sex a positive thing. You won't find me arguing puritan values.

What I stated is that some people -do- struggle to control themselves. Masterbation by itself is not problematic, but based on what I've read, superstimuli like pornography can dampen the response to normal stimulus (eg. real sex). Our brains are complicated and neuroscience is not well understood in this area.

I'd encourage you to read some of the scientific papers linked on the site and make your own conclusions. I've also read papers from the opposite perspective. Both make very good points.

By whose standard? Why does that person/group have the authority to impose their standards on other races? If it is might makes right (Q race being more powerful), that in itself is similar enough to the core argument that it calls into question whether the argument is valid to begin with.

Some people actually struggle quite a bit to quit masterbation and pornography. While the science is limited to a few dozen papers, there is some evidence a subset of people do in fact have an unhealthy relationship with porn.

Are there any other tricks you can share to help with this? I had one while driving on the highway the other day and had to get off, park, and try to calm myself down. No idea what caused it.
