Would you be better off if you had grown up in a world without porn?

[genma]

This thread is not advocacy for or against porn. I don't give a shit what you're into. This is a thought experiment: would your life be better or worse if you had grown up in an alternate reality where porn didn't exist.

On the one hand, you've had the privilege of seeing more perfect 10 foids naked than any human in history prior to, let's say 1950. You've had more beauty in your life, if you want to look at it that way. And if you have to be alone and exist on nothing more than fantasy, at least your fantasies are well stocked.

On the other hand, it makes you very well aware (hyper-aware, obsessed even) of what you're missing out on. Maybe if there was no porn you wouldn't be obsessed. Maybe you would think, "girls seem nice, but they're probably not that great"

So what do you think? Is porn a net benefit because it facilitates fantasies that give you some comfort? Or is it a net detriment because it shows you something you can never have?

 

[Fancy Alcoholic]

Probably not. Porn is a good cope. I would have sui long ago if even that was forbidden for us incels.

What bothers me is that other people have seen porn... particularly females

 

[AutisticMonstrosity]

No big diff.

 

[Deleted member 21768]

Fuck no. That's as close as I'll ever get to "ascend".
Fuck no and fuck that shit.

I don't watch real porn anymore and even when I did, early internet age did have some early drawn and digital porn.


I would be better off if I lived in a world without the internet.

It ain't porn that makes me incel.

 

[BlightJester]

Porn is an amazing cope. Life is shitty and boring enough. Without porn the body of a foid would be a mystery to anyone who’s not chad. It would just make the disparity between their world and ours even greater. Even less for us to have. At least with porn we can enjoy the sight and our imagination.

I think if it wasn’t for porn, the amount of rapes would be a lot higher tbh

 

[incel_maxxed]

Yes I would have. If I ever ascend (lol) the experience is already ruined somewhat. Imagine seeing a woman naked for the first time ever, irl. Porn has ruined that experience for me. Not to mention porn makes you content and diminishes your willingness to seek intimacy.

Yes, that's part of the point I was making. If you don't know about something because you've never seen it, then how can you obsess over it?

Ask yourself this: how much time have you spent over the last year being depressed because you can't explore the galaxy in an FTL spaceship? Uh, none. You rarely think about that and if you do, it's just a passing "what if" and doesn't make you depressed. Now imagine that it's revealed that the elites have FTL tech and they start streaming their travels on youtube and you start watching it and seeing everything you're missing out on. That might make you depressed.

It would just make the disparity between their world and ours even greater.

I'm thinking that having porn makes the disparity greater. If there was no porn you wouldn't have a clue.

If I ever ascend (lol) the experience is already ruined somewhat. Imagine seeing a woman naked for the first time ever, irl.

If that ever happens, it will likely be a 35 year old fat woman. If you missed out on a high school girlfriend then you really missed out on life, sorry to say.

I realize this thread, and this way of thinking, doesn't help anyone. It was just a thought experiment. I fully intend to keep viewing porn and you should too. But I think about stuff like this.

That’s just not realistic. We have a natural desire for sex, to see a female naked. It’s in our blood, our DNA, our instincts.

Even before I ever discovered porn, I was sexually frustrated. Probably more sexually frustrated. I knew what I was missing out on something amazing. It was happening all around me. Not even knowing what it was like only frustrated me to need to know more. I was brought up thinking I’d go to jail if I saw porn, but I was willing to take that risk when I discovered how easy it was to access. That desperation was all before ever seeing.

If porn didn’t exist, we wouldn’t even be allowed to see a foid without clothes on. We’d still think about it, still crave it, still get frustrated over it. It would just be worse because we know we’re missing out on something amazing, and we’d have no cope for it.

Also fapping is fun and porn makes fapping a lot better. It lets you at least cope with what you’re missing out on instead of driving you to do things out of desperation like my past self. Never knowing would only work if you live under a rock and have no T

 

[Shigechi]

no, supposing that dating apps exist it would be the same garbage, but i wouldn't coom so much

 

[Deleted member 32506]

porn is the symptom not a cause. that being said. porn has completly ruined me, I feel much better without it. it destroyed me mentally, physically, spiritually and financially.

 

[genma]

financially.

oh shit dude!

 

[RollD20]

I don’t watch porn so this isn’t a big difference to me

 

[FamilyGuy1999]

yes

 

[Deleted member 33464]

Yes. If you fap to porn regularly, it has made you a slave. For me it has warped my sexual desires and libido, and wasted a fuck ton of time. I would still be an incel without porn, but I would be a better person.

 

[genma]

I would still be an incel without porn, but I would be a better person.

Yeah, could be. I'm still on the fence as to if it's good or bad. I get your point, but I lean toward the idea that it'd be worse to go through life no even knowing what a hot girl's body looks like.

Here's an analogy (maybe): you've seen Battle Angel Alita right? It takes place in the garbage city below the floating city of Zalem. If you have to live in the garbage city - if there's no way to avoid that - is it better to have pics and vids from Zalem, or not? Maybe it's worse if your imagination runs wild with what goes on there.

 

[Dr. Dicklet]

Yes. Even homemade amateur porn features men with large dicks. This has totally skewed peoples perception of normal

 

[dirtykombatcel]

Porn has nothing to with how shit my genes are, thus 0 correlation with my situation.

 

[Deleted member 6329]

Depends. I'd be a little less depressed but it would force me to go through the hoops of trying to get a foid.(if prostitution is illegal)

 

[kt0_0]

Idk, I probably would still be the same

 

[Deleted member 20434]

social media = porn tho
