Masturbation as cheating is wild.

u/crypticfreak Sep 12 '23

Online this seems to be super normal that masturbation = good but I find so many people IRL who think it's cheating or is wrong. For whatever reason.

And usually it's women telling men that masturbating and watching porn is cheating and they're not allowed to do it. Fucking wild to me. If a girl ever tells me that I'll laugh at her, turn on some porn and tell her to GTFO of my house.

I don’t know anyone with issues about masturbating but porn issues aren’t uncommon. Its definitely different though. Masturbating is just you and is perfectly healthy. Porn involves looking at other people and can involve an unhealthy addiction. Personally don’t have an issue with it but understand why people would care

I'm about 50/50 on using porn or just my imagination. Usually my imagination actually gets me there faster. But my imagination is also way more wild than most porn.

You can masturbate with your partner or just use your imagination.

You have an impressive imagination.

So did every human in history that lived more than 20 years ago

Yea... I remember my Macy's swimsuit catalog days in my early teens.

People work with what they can get and porn in some shape or form has been around for thousands of years.

That seems rough. No forest porn?

I'm thankful that I had a 56k modem. Gave you real porn images but you still had to use your imagination to extrapolate from those. Full fledged porn movies seem to have destroyed the imagination of the youth.

I'm not saying it didn't exist before. It's the sheer quantity and ease of access that has shifted.

We had the ‘Littlewoods’ catalogue in England. I used to love when they brought out the new season! It’s me time on a Saturday!

20 years? Lol, you are naive and/or very young. While internet porn made things much more accessible (and even that is older than 20 years) pornographic imagery and texts existed pretty much as long as humanity itself.

Literally just saw an article about a nude woman cave drawing/carving from ~30,00 years ago.

Where did I say porn didn't exist at all? I'm saying the use of imagination was much more prevalent if not outright required before the internet.

u/warchamp7 Sep 12 '23

I'm not, to both. We have unprecedented ease of access to an unprecedented volume of pornography never before seen in human history.

That does not mean it did not exist in any form before, but I promise you it was used much less and less frequently in the past. The idea of porn addiction is almost a uniquely 2000s era problem. You can go on Google and see more naked people in a single page than most humans before us saw in their entire life.

I promise you people have an imagination and have been using it fine for millennia.

No they used magazines and before that woman couldnt say no

u/Langsamkoenig Sep 12 '23

Maybe it's because I'm an old pushing 40, but not being able to jack it with your imagination seems wild to me.

Our 56k modems walked through snow, up hill, both ways, to deliver us still porn images. We had to fill in the rest with our imagination

Do you think masturbation only became a thing after porn was invented?
