I recently stopped watching porn after doing some reading on proletarian/marxist feminism. This article in particular was really good imo: https://proletarianfeminist.medium.com/a-socialist-feminist-and-transgender-analysis-of-sex-work-b08aaf1ee4ab
I was wondering if anyone else is in a similar boat? Porn is a powerful drug and it can be really difficult to give it up if you’re addicted (which I am unfortunately). Is anyone willing to share their porn-free journey and give some advice and tips?
I asked something similar a few months back. Feel free to scroll through the thread. There is some useful information there (easy peasy and IFS for example)
Thank you <3
Copy-paste of my comment posted in the r/GenZedong thread:
I quit consuming porn once I realized that I was doing it as a form of escapism. I really do not recommend ever consuming it as it produces a crooked conception of women, making you see them as mere objects of gratification instead of actual human beings. If you really need to masturbate, perhaps resorting to your imagination will do the trick; or, you could just resist the urge.
masturbation is healthy and natural (unless excessive). Getting rid of porn is absolutely a good thing, but the whole “nofap” thing is just manosphere bs
Srry, I just can’t wrap up my head on how and why people watch that disgusting stuff…
What life in the imperial core does to a mf
i mean it’s not exactly a mistery. We are sexual beings, the orgasm releases a lot of feel-good chemicals and we are hardwired to chase things that make us feel good. It’s both something inherently addictive and something tied into our very psychology.
it’s like not being able to wrap up your head on how and why people eat fast food even though it’s unhealthy. Both our bodies and minds respond positively to it, that’s all
