    This gives off very repressed Christian vibes. Masterbation is normal and healthy, while trying to repress sexuality for moral reasons will just leave you frustrated and easy to manipulate by conservative ideologies. Porn can be addictive, promote harmful behaviors, or be unethically made like many enjoyable things, but it is not inherently harmful. It’s like saying radio or posters are evil because they’ve been used to promote genocides. You’re missing the point and causing more damage in doing so

      There’s “enjoying pornography” and there’s “using pornography as a replacement to seeking and engaging in human intimacy”

    But watching nude people doing stuff by the principles of nature is not a sin (as long as everyone involved is aware and fine with it). It is a sin only in religion, and I think I don’t need to elaborate further here.

    I think eating chips is worse for you.

    EDIT: Potato chips*. Not sure if silicon chips are bad for you.

      They’re definitely not good for you the way I eat them, covered in grease and salt, but I just can’t resist that satisfying crunch and those tingly little cuts it leaves in my mouth.

      Potato chips are like that too.

    • Yeah I’m not totally buying this one… Porn can be part of a healthy sex life. I don’t think it’s different than any other activity that provides dopamine: amazing in moderation, harmful in excess.

        All books can be indecent books,

        though recent books are bolder,

        for filth - I’m glad to say -

        is in the mind of the beholder.

        When correctly viewed,

        everything is lewd

        I can tell you things about Peter Pan,

        and the Wizard of Oz, there’s a dirty old man.
