I hope we all know this and are just doing it as a bit, but sometimes I do see shit on this website that makes me go “Oh y’all are genuinely just weird prudes”

The “gooner epidemic” is not real, gooning is an incredibly niche kink that very few people engage in.

“Porn addiction” is basically non existent and affects such a small portion of the population as to not be relevant. The idea that most people have in their heads about porn addiction is propaganda made up by evangelicals.

We do not live in an overly-sexually-liberated time. There is not an excess of sexual content or exposure to it.

Most of the time when people talk about “the gooner problem” what they’re actually talking about is a mix of two unrelated things, people living normal sexually liberated lives, and undersocialized young men that don’t know how to interact with people.

Sex is good. We should be having more of it. We should encourage healthy, safe sex featuring whatever kinks you and your partner(s) consent to. Don’t fall for puritan propaganda comrades.

this thread reminds me of the time i saw people on here say that looking at porn at work is sexual assault

“looking at porn at work” implies looking at porn in a manner that other people who don’t consent to seeing or hearing sexual acts can see or hear it without trying.

I think that has to be at least sexual harassment or misconduct or something, right?

Yeah like definitely gross and on the harassment spectrum but it was being characterized as R word sexual assault, which is what I object to, but even that objection gets harsh condemnation (ironic in a thread accusing hexbear of weirdo puritanism)

i don’t get why people want to be like, gross thing is just as bad as the worst thing, you’re a chud if you disagree!! but it’s a response I saw last time too so i guess i shouldn’t have brought it up

I’m one of the least marginalized people on earth so i honestly just choose to listen and inquire to better my understanding when it comes to these topics. Nobody gives a single shit what i have to say about sexual assault and they shouldn’t

Personally I was reading it as “watching porn at work and keeping it on the down low and maybe getting caught” and not “projecting porn on the big screen in the middle of the office”

One of those is a bit weird and awkward. One is fucked up. They are very much not the same.

This is why i wanted to clarify because i think the people arguing that it’s assault are thinking of something closer to projector than bathroom stall

sure but it’s not “assault” and imo characterizing it that way kinda detracts from actual assault in a way that makes me uncomfortable
