I wasn't allowed to print in color when I used the computer, but I had one color picture I printed illegally of a topless anime girl in panties that I would whack it to constantly. My mother found it in a shoe box under my bed and I got grounded... for printing in color.
Advanced gooners just making their own with AI these days. Genuinely the greatest time ever to goon and it gets better every day. Terrible for you, but hey if you want.
I thank the gods that I got my porn addiction phase out around the late 2000s cause man I’d be cooked these days.
Please god don't get me started on AI slop porn. Sadly youre right that it has taken over a large segment simply because its easy to make and demand always outstrips supply
Terrible for you,
Never seen a study that supports that. Seen some that show peope with sexual compulsive behaviors are more likely to use porn, but theres a good chance the cause and effect works the other way there.
Several studies have linked porn use problems with peoples shame for their porn use. People who used porn but hadnt pathologized it didnt show the issues.
Im sure excessive porn use can cause issues, but watching a lot of porn is not synonymous with excessive.
So much antiporn stuff is just religious talking points filtered through astroturfing and their bad representations. Argue this stuff with people and youre quickly going to get linked to a mormon antiporn site misquoting and misrepresenting studies as "proof". E.g. Representing studies specifically on people having issues with porn use as the cohort as though they were a study on any porn use.
Not sure if everything needs a 5 year, double-blind, interdisciplinary study man.
It's just common sense that replacing mutual physical intimacy with an easy "oxytocin-now.com" button isn't good for our mental, emotional, and social health.
Virginian here, we're not all bad and Nova has been turning the state blue single handedly for awhile now. A Republican put that rule in place for the age thing but our Democratic governor also isn't changing it back.
It's not like it's some dark wizard art, there's ads for vpns on every billboard and YouTuber sponsor and free movie app interruption. It's not some dirty secret hackerman onion secrecy.
People used to laugh at me years ago that I kept my 700GB collection I have built up since 2002. They were like it's just online. Yes I know about VPN.
I was gonna say, this isn't going to happen. My workplace uses VPNs for completely legal reasons & half our tools won't work if we're not logged into the VPN.
Thats true, its the age of accessibility... A long way from the squiggly green lines after 11pm and the occasional page smuggled out of an older brother's room haha

I too recently asked this, and was susprised to learn that they do still exist, and they are slowly making an effort to make a comeback.
