  • Look, you are right.

    It is a red flag though. And as I pointed out to him, there are many anecdotes speaking of porn causing harm. He ignored all the red flags and went with the usual line of “it’s perfectly normal in moderation”, which I’m arguing is the wrong attitude to have given the issues that many people have from porn (or in proximity to porn).


  • any legitimate science

    There is literally a big button on the menu called “Research”. Clicking it leads to several scientific articles. One of which is:

    A Meta‐Analysis of Pornography Consumption and Actual Acts of Sexual Aggression in General Population Studies (2015)

    From the abstract:

    Consumption [of pornography] was associated with sexual aggression in the United States and internationally, among males and females, and in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies.

    Oh, and here is more.

    So the science that is referenced is illegitimate, because why, it disagrees with your inverted desires?

    Furthermore, in the book, he cites multiple anecdotes from porn consumers. These are valuable in and of themselves.

    according to his bio he refused to allow himself to have an orgasm even when he had sex with his wife lol Gary Wilson was mentally ill and all of his theories seem to be centered around a bizarre delusion he had that men should never experience pleasure

    See, this is how I know you are disingenuous. Not only did you ignore the plentiful resources that the website I linked to had to offer, but you also went straight to attacking the person (originally) behind the site and straw-manning him.

    If anything the link you shared has convinced me even more that pornography is healthy and perfectly normal when used in moderation.

    It’s a drug. The “use in moderation” argument is going out the window.
