“Oh y’all are genuinely just weird prudes”

Hmm some people maybe

The “gooner epidemic” is not real, gooning is an incredibly niche kink that very few people engage in.

That's true

“Porn addiction” is basically non existent and affects such a small portion of the population as to not be relevant

That's NOT true

We do not live in an overly-sexually-liberated time.

Agree

There is not an excess of sexual content or exposure to it.

I strongly disagree, I think boys these days get exposed, and expose themselves, to sexual content far more than even when I was young

Sex is good. We should be having more of it. We should encourage healthy, safe sex featuring whatever kinks you and your partner(s) consent to.

Yes

BTW Let's tone things down, struggle session over GOONING is wild, people

Gooning behaviour the sexual activity? Niche fetish. Never tried it. Never had the time to try it.

Gooning behaviour aka the porn version of being "terminally online"? Annoying at best, community destroying at worst.

Gooning behaviour aka how my friends use it, aka "we have this one friend who refuses to leave the house and we joke that he spends all his time gooning but is actually having a mental crisis and resists all our efforts to help him"? Uh ....

So basically, words are the devil and they lead us astray with their multitudes.

oh hey i skipped this when i saw it before cuz i thought it was just /c/badposting. now I'm here cuz dirt_owl and it's just a bad take highlighting a non-existent problem.

I think there are super healthy and important conversations that should be had society-wide about more openness to sexuality. I think peoples' problems with porn almost entirely exist because there is so little conversation and openness to it in everyday life. Porn becomes everything a person knows or thinks about sex because it's the only place you learn or talk about it in any way.

I do think it'd be neat if this site had some enclosed space for NSFW chats, but it's also not a priority. If it's a binary choice, I'd prefer it be a creep-free zone.

Nice try. You thought you were gonna escape the long arms of the law?

"Gooning this" & "gooning that", read the literature liberals. Whacking off is solved theory, Just build a metal & wood veneer box to jack it in. Orgone theory has already spelled all this out for over 100 years.

COINTELPRO approves this message.

On the one hand porn taught me how to have good sex. When I lost my v-card to my girlfriend she straight up asked me "are you sure you're a virgin" (jokingly since we had good sex together). BUT on the other hand, I've caught myself in the absence of intimacy engaging with porn I wouldn't feel comfortable showing anyone else. So there's for sure a ratchet effect like is common in addiction, to simply say it's not addictive I think is too dismissive.

Your cringe non-existent gooner epidemic

My wholesome based stimfap epidemic

Y'all talking about puritanism as if the reason for the volcel police isn't to make sure our precious bodily fluids aren't sapped and impurified.

First they came for the gooners, and I did not speak up, for I was not a gooner.
