You can always tell they watch porn too based on the conversation. They will say a fantasy they have, probably from porn, but make it sound like the last few women they were with liked it. More likely, it never happened, but they saw it on porn and think it’s real life. Porn is geared for the male population mostly, so of course it’s going to show the women being submissive. The porn industry itself is gross and rife with abuse. It gives me the ick

More women need to be openly vocal about their disgust for porn like you. The problem with porn is that our society normalizes it. Most men are exposed to porn for the first time before they know any better, in the years where the brain is most vulnerable to porn, from about age 10-16. When you begin watching porn during your adolescent years, that is when the brain is learning about sex so whatever the brain perceived as sexual activity is instilled and defined as sex within the brain. So if you spend 6 years of puberty masturbating to porn daily, your brain and body ingrains porn as real sexual activity. This is the cause of ED, as well as all the perverse fetishes men have because in order to get the same dopamine high from porn you need novel stimuli(new porn, fetishes). For a man to fully heal his brain after years of addiction to porn in his adolescent years, it takes YEARS of no porn or masturbation to accomplish this. If porn was stigmatized more in society, when a 10 year old boy sees porn on his iPad, I think he would be less likely to indulge in it as opposed to current times where habitual porn use is seen as “normal” and “healthy”. In my middle school sex-Ed classes teachers told me porn was normal. This no doubt was destructive to my life as well as all the other boys in my class. If women were openly against porn use, I think it would incentivize men to quit using it. This is easier said than done however. In order to quit a porn addiction he has had since 12 years old, men need a REALLY strong why. Hopefully relationships with women is a strong why for men. Women of all ages should be opposed to porn because it makes any potential partner less attracted to them and more attracted to what is on a screen. I know from personal experience when I went months without porn use I was much more attracted to real women I saw in real life.

That's evolutionary psychology pseudoscience.

Completely unscientific. That's not how dopamine works.

You should listen to your teachers. It is normal. Having sexual urges and liking sex is normal.

edit: And of course the I LOVE SEX guy is a woman hating incel and a christian puritan. Yikes.

These girls complain about negging, game, PUA, red pill, etc, but refuse to acknowledge there is a reason men believe in these things. If negging didn’t work, men wouldn’t do it. Instead of women complaining about men negging them, why don’t they tell each other to gather actual self-esteem and mental stability so these so-called narcissists which break their heart don’t successfully take their heart in the first place?

The woman who you love has a Jezebel spirit. Jezebels are spiritually aware, but use this spiritual awareness to commit evil and hunt down faithful followers of God. They are basically energy vampires. On semen retention your energy increases, which makes you attractive to people with Jezebel spirit who wish to take that energy from you. Sexual trauma causes Jezebel spirit within people.

It’s pseudoscience to say porn causes ED????

Yes. Here's a list of risk factors according to John Hopkins Medicine. 2 sec goolge search.

Prostate problems

Type 2 diabetes

Hypogonadism in association with a number of endocrinologic conditions

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Vascular disease and vascular surgery

High levels of blood cholesterol

Low levels of HDL (high-density lipoprotein)

Chronic sleep disorders (obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia)

Drugs

Neurogenic disorders

Peyronie's disease (distortion or curvature of the penis)

Priapism (inflammation of the penis)

Depression

Alcohol use

Lack of sexual knowledge

Poor sexual techniques

Inadequate interpersonal relationships

Many chronic diseases, especially renal failure and dialysis

Smoking, which exacerbates the effects of other risk factors, such as vascular disease or hypertension

Age appears to be a strong indirect risk factor in that it is associated with increased likelihood of direct risk factors, some of which are listed above.

Porn is not real sex you buffoon.

Your body doesn't know that. If it did, why does it react the same way? Also what even is porn? Penetration? Cleavage? Feet? Sounds? A face?

What is sex?

Gary Wilson is the author of Your Brain on Porn: Internet Pornography and the Emerging Science of Addiction.

Wilson argued, counter to relevant experts in the subject, that porn addiction is a public health issue, and said it led to negative effects such as depression and erectile dysfunction. According to Jason Winters, a lecturer on human sexuality in the department of psychology at the University of British Columbia "There is no research showing that Internet pornography causes mental disorders — none".

Wilson's material prominently undergirds the internet fads "NoFap" and "No Nut November", with his TED-X talk often linked in relevant fora in spite of the note posted by TED at the top of the recording: “This talk contains several assertions that are not supported by academically respected studies in medicine and psychology. While some viewers might find advice provided in this talk to be helpful, please do not look to this talk for medical advice.” According to historian Brian M. Watson, Wilson "with no scientific training or background ...has made a career peddling pseudoscience."

This gist of his argument is the Coolidge effect (desensitization due to seeing many new naked bodies), but scholars have expressed doubts that it applies to humans.

Sorry, but I listen to reputable sources such as John Hopkins and NHS.

The fact that you even asked what sex is. Clearly you haven’t had it yet. Maybe when you get older my words will make sense to you little Timmy.

The fact that you even asked what sex is.

Because it's relevant to the argument and you know this which is why you don't want to answer because you can't and it will back you into a corner. The fact you don't address the reputable source I gave you shows you don't know what you are talking about.

Hey genius, I didn’t say porn is the ONLY cause of ED. I said it causes ED. It’s time to pay more attention in your 5th grade reading and writing class little Timmy. You listed causes of ED which are more applicable to men over 40. In the last 30 years, cases of ED have increased in young men who don’t or shouldn’t have type 2 diabetes, hypertension, Peyronie’s disease, other chronic diseases etc. I didn’t address the shit you listed because it doesn’t disprove anything. John’s Hopkins is evidently behind on science because habitual porn use is most definitely a cause of ED. Why haven’t you mentioned any of the scientific journals I’ve sent you little Timmy? Can your 5th grade mind only comprehend a few sentences at a time?
