This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So, I went ahead and looked up the founder of your little website there... None of his theories were ever backed up by any legitimate science and according to his bio he refused to allow himself to have an orgasm even when he had sex with his wife lol
If anything the link you shared has convinced me even more that pornography is healthy and perfectly normal when used in moderation.
Gary Wilson was mentally ill and all of his theories seem to be centered around a bizarre delusion he had that men should never experience pleasure
There is literally a big button on the menu called "Research". Clicking it leads to several scientific articles. One of which is:
A Meta‐Analysis of Pornography Consumption and Actual Acts of Sexual Aggression in General Population Studies (2015)
From the abstract:
Oh, and here is more.
So the science that is referenced is illegitimate, because why, it disagrees with your inverted desires?
Furthermore, in the book, he cites multiple anecdotes from porn consumers. These are valuable in and of themselves.
See, this is how I know you are disingenuous. Not only did you ignore the plentiful resources that the website I linked to had to offer, but you also went straight to attacking the person (originally) behind the site and straw-manning him.
It's a drug. The "use in moderation" argument is going out the window.
I don't really have an opinion on this but I'm just gonna say that about that association between porn consumption and aggression, it doesn't seem like they've found a casual relationship, just a correlation. Could be that people who are inclined to sexual aggression (or verbal aggression, as they say in the abstract is more strongly associated) are just more likely to consume porn.
Blud actually pulled Correlation doesn't imply causation out.
