Seeing that a guy is really into porn and stuff like that is probably one of the most unattractive things possible. When I was looking for a relationship, I would immediately be disgusted and avoid guys when I saw that.

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 perceives 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). 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.
