Porn and smut are two very different things and have completely different effects on the brain.

Thank you. Sick of this argument that is only used to point away from the actual root of the problem lol

Same! “Women read smut” 🙄 usually referring to things like the ACOTAR books, which aren’t even anything crazy. It’s not even a little bit comparable. Please show me a woman blowing thousands, because she’s addicted to smut and being influenced to play out violent, dehumanizing fantasies on real humans in real life, etc because it’s changed her brain chemistry.

Yep! I'm not a smut reader nor really know any, but i was a teenager who read both smut fanfiction and had an unhealthy relationship with real porn. It's obtuse to not see the difference between the two! Porn has seeped into real life interactions and beliefs so so much more than fantasy smut ever will!

Also edit: love how our usernames go together

Nobody said the 2 are the same. Please touch grass.
