>I'm never going to amount to anything
>I just feel so lost and alone
And you have people replying and telling him

lol, THOSE comments actually give me hope, theres still some humanity in them where they can feel an abscence of something. with people commenting on more hardcore/ morally questionable stuff you get
>why cant we just be like animals that fuck all the time whenever we want
>very obvious contempt for whatever the subject is they are jerking off to (this one is very strange to me)
>usually the assumption that the imaginary "judgers" are just irrational puritans, they dont seem to think of the idea that they may actually care about something, they assume its just utterly hollow judgement for no reason
>ALWAYS feel the need to justify the ethics in the comments even if theres no argument, i.e. its society that makes this thing bad by stigmatising it, its natural
>acting like porn is one of the most important things in life and them not "publically" having access to certain types of it (animals or kids) is a huge pressing life or death issue and they feel opressed about it
>general narcissism, the subject of whatever they fantasise about never factors into their defences to imaginary people who arent commenting
>general impression that sex is literally all that matters, and if you desire a certain type of sex you just cope yourself into justifying it (restraint does not exist for them)
>extreme openess to child molesters, animal abusers, very forced and facile "wholesome" community that doesnt "judge" yet they get increidbly nasty toward anyone who would question that and generally have a litany of political views they dont shut up about (left and right wing) despite being friendly with people who have done depraved shit IRL

thats my experience after years of furry porn anyway. theres a lot more but these trends I see in a diluted manner in much of the populace, namely that morality is merely etiquette or social manners and people dont hold real values so why cant i just indulge in X forever

I've never come across these, but to be honest. Just silly b&er, some comments obviously left by 15 YOs and the ones I mentioned above. But yes, the more degenerate the vids the worst the comments become. I was never into furry (bar the R34 pics of the usual anthropomorphic stuff) but I've done my fair share of cooming to more and more degenerate stuff. Like you said, it's good to see that some are trying to break away from it, but porn as a whole is a totally destructive force.

The only real reason I can see to stop using porn is so that you don't support companies which pressure actresses to do things that they don't want to/exploit women. I hear the NoFap angle, but seriously, I don't see how one can actually get addicted to porn.Last year, just to see if I was actually addicted to it, I decided to see how long I could go without jacking off to porn. I lasted 7 months, which to me indicates that porn addiction is a meme.

I was into very degenerate stuff but now I stopped.

People WILL fall down the rabbit hole eventually, and a lot of them dont see a way out at the bottom and just sit there endlessly justifying terrible things. You dont want to be that person

It depends on when and how you started and how your social life is. Some guy who started jerking off at 13 and is a lonely, friendless KHHV in his 20s isn't likely to stop or not go for more hardcore stuff. Some guy who's had girlfiends since he entered puberty and has a good life but watches porn nce every blue moon t get his rocks off probably won't have a problem.

>> No.16360712

Nobody watches porn for the plots. The deeper you go down the rabbit hole you stop caring about what they look like. As long as the title describes your fetish of the month and the participants match the description, you're able to coom. But then that gets boring and you look for another thing and the cycle repeats. Porn destroys beauty and sexuality.

I read on sadpanda for plots. I feel guilt when I jerk off without plot, as if the action loses meaning. It's really not that I like anime titties over irl tittites, it's just that anime porn comics have something I can latch onto and feel empathetic about, to connect me to some forlorn deep seeded memory of when I was once happy and actually got laid on the reg.

You do know that Romans had huge phalluses on public display, and considered them a symbol of good luck, right? And that prostitution was legal, and that it wasn't shameful to go to brothels, as long as you did it in moderation?
Humans have always been coomers. The issue is with how much dignity you approach the subject. Anglos are still tactless, undignified barbarians at heart. They're only capable of swinging from one extreme to the other, but have no notion of moderation.
They went from muh Victorian prudishness, and "we gotta cover table legs because they look like dicks" to "BBC DESTROYS TEEN ANAL SEX". They don't deserve to have cultural hegemony on the world, because they ruin everything they touch, including pornography.

You're mistaking plot for concept. If someone is into incest or cucking or babysitters or whatever, just the title and pretense will be enough to get him hard. The more amateur it loks the better since it feels more "real". That's what a fetish eventually degrades to.

No it isn't, if it's, say, mother and son incest, then I want to see the dialogue between the mother and the son, I want to see them questioning their desire to each other, I want to see the slow descent until they eventually give in and perform something extremely taboo.

My gf has never watched porn and would be hurt to know that I watch it. I try to not and I think I'm getting better. Everytime I do I feel my world perspective get worse. I am quicker to anger and more insecure. I also think there is some weird effects on concentration and intelligence - something that can be called foggy cumbrain. Literally feel borderline retarded sometimes, and I suspect dopamine addiction from porn may be the cause.

As for books, I really can't help you. Literature is really behind the times on this stuff, I assume because Zoomers are still in highschool and millennials are retards.

The only thing that makes me depressed is seeing attractive women (looks and personality) online that you couldn't hope to ever meet and be with. There's some backend incel tier mindset I can't get rid of but at the same time I really dont think that term is fair. It's rather me being overly romantic about life and finding "the one." It's not that I expect anything though or that I want to"own" anyone. I simply long for a partner that I can share life with. If I could detatch from that thought I would. Few years ago i became quite obsessive about it. Up until I tried my best at what I thought was it, to only have it thrown back in my face. So on top of realizing that things just don't always work out, going towards the future I have to be cognizant of how I come across due to not being that attractive or sociable. I have to be oh so tirelessly aware that I inject illusions into reality.
Porn isn't the mind breaker people think it is. Your sexual needs and identity don't really mean much. The shit that fucks me up is seeing some sort of relationship promise land that I simply will never find myself in.

Fapping is the best thing in life, I'd kill myself if I ever lost my arms. Of course that's not only because of fapping but is a fair enough point. I find myself thanking God after a fap that I was born with such a great and easy way to feel momentary happiness and satisfaction in this crappy and unfair world. Well I shouldn't say world, but rather life.
And there is always something new to find too, just when your think you've seen all there is to see, you find some real good shit that was hiding just under your nose. That stuff mostly applies to doujins and erotica and eroge though.
As for 3D, I don't really watch anything other than amateur stuff normally, but it just feel good seeing and knowing there are so many cute girls in the world willing to do all sorts of things. I am for better or worse, probably worse, an optimist at heart so it gives me hope despite me knowing that its not likely anymore.

I often wonder if circumcision has any additional consequences to add to the pornographic issue. There's a serious lack of pleasure, and I myself have experienced a need to seek out that pleasure through diabolically grave fap sessions where I've deathgripped my bepis so hard, that my bepis hurts post ejaculation.

So I've always thought that the lack sensation contradicts the idea of seeking out pleasure, so that it makes a man doubly seek out pleasure that otherwise cannot normally be fulfilled.

nope, you still sound like you are justifying it and defending yourself. You either be totally honest with yourself or you dont change, and I think if you are honest there is a part of yourself who is not wanting to change, to keep indulging, and that is what spurs the self defence. I know because I have been there. I suppose it depends on the severity of the content, but it does harm others. Contributing to the "market" of this content even as a passive consumer strengthens its power and contributes to the spread of a mental disease across many.

There honestly are not very many books on the subject. I've looked into it a little bit. People either do not want to do the research, or they do not want their name on the cover. There are a couple of secular books with titles like "The Porn Myth" or "The Porn Trap" which appear to be pop psychology; there are a lot of Christian self-help books about how to stop masturbating; there are industry memoirs by porn stars; and then there are the second wave feminist texts, like Pornland, and Pornography: Men Possessing Women, which argue that porn is an instantiation of patriarchy.

When you spend enough time around people who treat something very strange as mundane and normal, its very easy to become convinced yourself that your strange hobby is normal.
