At the risk of sounding like a Texan governor, what does infinite scrolling porn do to somebody’s brain, and how does that affect their sex life?
EDIT: just do a little research on infinite scrolling and the effects of porn and then think about the effects of those combined. Y’all sound like porn addicts. It’s okay to watch porn. It’s not okay to deny that there are serious detrimental side effects to what and the way we consume it. Take care of yourself if having meaningful sexual experiences with a real human matters to you.
I think this is detrimental quicker than other pleasures, a porn magazine for example, or even a porn streaming site. It hits faster, is more stimulating and is less work to keep it going.
Compounding the negative effects of infinite scrolling and porn seems very detrimental to one’s sexual psychology and in turn their life.
EDT: damn y’all really love porn. clearly no women on Lemmy yet.
Your point is valid and I don’t think deserving of so many downvotes. I think most people can handle it responsibly, but always good to keep in mind potential risks.
Yeah it’s fine in moderation but that’s like somebody denying that alcohol can be bad for you. Bunch of porn addicts in denial. By the time we recognize how detrimental it can be on our lives it’ll be too late. It already is. Too many people brainwashed cuz we don’t take it seriously.
You aren’t wrong, but wrong place to get any balanced discussion. You’re arguing against boobs when the blood isn’t in the brain - not going to happen.
Watching porn isn’t sex and I’m not saying porn in and of itself is as much of a problem as infinite scrolling is. You’re inferring a lot. Just do some research on infinite scrolling and think about it. If u wanna watch infinite porn, more power to you, but doesn’t mean it doesn’t have negative side effects.
Sure. People can just not do crack. A more like comparison, people could just not scroll through Lemmy or any other infinite scrolling app, but they do because nobody thinks it has any real ramifications.
I think there’s something to be said for coercive and manipulative algorithms, definitely. I don’t know that simply efficiently looking at the porn you want to look at until you’re done edging or you cum or whatever is bad. The less ads, the better as well, because ads are very manipulative and coercive and the point is to reduce that. Having an orgasm is a normal human experience, as is sexual exploration in general. Idk that all porn is perfect or anything, but I do think the antiporn stuff is weirdly sex phobic for no reason.

Getting a lot of “I can quit any time I want” vibes from this comment thread.
Haha right? Lots of people addicted to porn and in denial.
nobody gives a shit dude. go to a church or something
Church is for pedos. Don’t have to listen. Still needs to be said. It’s for your own health.
This is the slot machines of porn
Haha for real
Like all pleasures in life it can probably be quite detrimental if overused.

Then don’t use it bro
It needed to be said. It’s for your health. Like telling stoners that smoking weed every day is bad for you even tho it’s not hard drugs.
Porn streaming sites are “infinite” too…
OP said this is just a frontend for pornhub’s gif section
The format is totally diff. This is YouTube vs instagram or TikTok. You know the difference.
OP hasn’t invented anything here. There are lots of infinite scrolling porn sites out there.
For sure. The question still stands. Does anybody think about the ways this is detrimental to people?

Haha all good. Still needed to be said.
Do you think sex is inherently harmful?
This is what people consider sex now?
What element of porn in general do you find offensive or problematic, if not the sexual one?

Women also look at porn you dork.
Women wouldn’t be so vehemently against what I’m saying. And keep the conversation civil.
You realize you can just look at… not porn? Other stuff? Read a book?

Just do a little research on infinite scrolling and the psychological effects. It’s addictive and trains your brain.
