I know this is gonna sound weird but I feel like a boy again. I got high the other night and saw from the perspective of people that haven’t been habitually conditioned to degeneracy of all kinds, that actually felt disgust at stuff we would laugh off. I was getting drunk watching Goon just now and I felt it, what I felt like before my brain was dephormed but the internet.

I know that feel bro; but I mean all it's really done has psychologically distanced myself from my friends with the unique memes here. But that was only for a year and then I got back on track.

/lit/ was my first and has pretty much been my only board. It got me good grades with having to spell constantly and then correcting it as well as introducing thinkers like Kant into my high school assignments. Would occasionally troll or meme on 4chan with a few friends so I'd say 4chan has helped me in the long run; and I mentioned before I couldn't exactly spell, and I new nothing about culture or philosophy or history but now I know more than the average professor so I thank you /lit/. Oh and it also taught me how to be cool when I was sort of dorky so I learnt to be a bit rude to girls and realised they liked me when I wouldn't have had a clue before, but it's mainly just been being more confident and it's worked.

And TB. What I meant by humans were perverts before the internet, I meant that human beings are necessarily perverts. By perverts I mean highly sexual, our species wouldn't be able to procreate to a population of billions if we didn't have an obsession with sex. Men fucked adolescent boys in Greece. Prostitutes have played a necessary role in Western Civilization sexual expression since the Renaissance. In past eras of history children were more exposed to sexual acts than they are today. The idea that you should be a man in your twenties and thirties, you should "focus on yourself", "stop fapping", and do wood-burning as a hobby instead of having sex is a level of sexual repression that only exists in puritan times.

I think you should have sex, just have sex to make babies which people did all the time. It’s clearly degenerative and produces counter productive effects when you have sexuality that results in no sex shoved in your face 24/7. As well one of these effects is less sex being had, zoomers and millennials, particularly male zoomers and millennials, are having dramatically less sex then their parents and grandparents. I could write paragraphs about the unfulfillment and destitute mental state porn leaves the modern world in, as well as leaving it impotent.

Think of all the contradictions that are evident in our current society and you will realize every single one of them derives from the need to gather ad revenue
We are running around in circles for that invisible money. Our system has become so efficient at creating things we had to create ways to get rid of them - and so society was shaped in that direction. We have literally become pawns for the economy, and I don't say this like it's a conspiracy from "the man", it was the inevitable consequence. And advertising is what keeps this all together

[Anonymous No.15432944]

>>15432825
If a ban on advertising were to happen it would be so catastrophic I don't even understand what would happen, because all of it would happen simultaneously.
The internet would disappear the way we know it, media would collapse, millions of people would have no jobs, companies wouldn't even know what to produce, or to whom
I can honestly only see it happen in a new civilization, we are doomed to fall with it - but I believe we have to get rid of it and treat it as the weapon of mass manipulation it really is
I mean right now even our own meaning of existence is so intricately tied to advertising we wouldn't even know how to live because we have forgotten how to live with people in a genuine way

>It’s clearly degenerative and produces counter productive effects when you have sexuality that results in no sex shoved in your face 24/7.

Interesting way to view the problem. In the examples I gave you earlier of supposed "perversion" it all involved actual sexual acts. Pornography has always existed in human art. But I think comparing cave paintings and pornhub would be disingenuous. I think internet porn addiction is a new phenomenon in how people are neurologically effected. With the internet there is the problem of the endless dopamine stimulation that occurs. And when you have a limitless catalog of porn to view your mind will never become bored. It takes discipline to stop viewing porn because there is no inherent difficulty or challenges you to cease.

Internet pornography has caused a level of voyeurism that would have been viewed as pathological by any previous standards of sexuality. There is sufficient evidence to support that porn addiction can lead to impotency in actual sexual scenarios. But is it really pathological if we view the act of sex itself as non-essential. Its completely possible for someone to be happy fappin once a day and still have meaningful relationships with others. This same person could be happy in an asexual yet romantic relationship with another asexual partner. Actual sex is only essential if there is a need to create new infants, but in our overpopulated world you could argue that relentless procreation is not necessary.

Based
I'm the guy that said ban advertising, and you are right claiming porn is very different than other sexual art
Sexual art was a way to intellectually explain and conceptualize and understand sex, porn is a way to replace sex altogether because sex by itself isn't profitable enough
Our lives are being mediated through the filter of advertising and porn is just another way to infiltrate our lives by appropriating intimacy so they can sell it to us
Again this isn't a conspiracy just the inevitable consequence of the advertising based economy

Why do people say stuff like this? There is no comparison between sex and pornography, it's like saying watching videos of people eating serve the same need as actually eating

[Anonymous No.15433380]

>>15433261
It does though. Watching a video of a person eating wont give your brain the same dopamine rush as actually eating, but masturbating to sexually arousing images will give a similar dopamine rush as when you have sex. Also again there’s tons of evidence young men today are having tremendously less sex, a large part of this obviously being a result of widespread pornography in our lives.

I think... 16? I don't think 4chan has negatively affected me in any way. I do think it has desensitized me to darker content, but that is just pixels on a screen. People who don't go on this site watch horror movies, so I don't think the experience here is unique in any way.
I am very fortunate for this place though. There are very few places that could've guided me through music like /mu/. Since most music (and literature) forums online are a joke filled with unbearable affectation, I was grateful to have this one. After a while, of course, it becomes useless since you can guide yourself through music and know how to find good music without them. I am fortunate for /lit/ as well, for sharpening by ability to argue, and exposing me to philosophy at a young age. Now I mostly just come here to argue with others after a long day because it is fun destroying pseudointellectuals, so /lit/ still has some use to me.
