The Normal Police
I like erotica (books, videos) and I guess it's because I am a visual person. I also guess many men find erotic images titillating for the same reason. We would not have porn if that were not the case, right? Not that women do not like erotica (much of the M/M erotica I read is actually written by women!) but from my experience, it's mostly men who enjoy their porn and have it.
But really, how much porn is too much porn? Would that be a question worth asking? Some people watch a few minutes of porn a day and they're done. Some people watch porn once in a while and they're done. Some people watch porn several times a day and they're done. Not to mention that people go on Instagram, or Twitter or Snapchat or whichever social media they prefer, and then there's something for them to get.. inspired. Yes, Virginia, those hunks you see in your feed on Insta are erotica.
Sex is part of who we are, even if we're Ace, so where do you draw the line? I just think that some people like porn more and watch more porn than others. We cannot really tell what is 'normal' when it comes to sex, either. Some people masturbate once a week. Some people do it once a day. Some people have sex once a day, some people do not have sex at all. Some people enjoy their porn. Some people do not like it. So what is normal?
I guess that as long as it does not interfere with your daily life, anything can be 'normal'. So there's the answer to that question, right?

ReplyDeleteFirst off, I’m not a mental health professional, but I think your last paragraph sums it up pretty well. As long as you are able to function in society and maintain your relationships I would consider that normal for that person. Once there is an impact on your ability to cope and function, that indicates a problem.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
Is Sixpense watching to much porn?!?!?!?! 😂😂😂😂
DeleteSame.
DeleteAddiction is all-encompassing, all absorbing. Watching twenty minutes of porn a day is not an addiction.
XOXO
People are too concerned with "what is normal?" Let your freak flag fly!
ReplyDeleteLet's drink to that!
DeletePeople are jus too nosy.
XOXO
Everyone is different... That's why we should all say "to each his own."
ReplyDeleteCorrect.
DeleteThat's also why we cannot judge anybody based on what they do or do not do when it comes to sex.
XOXO
Big says,
ReplyDeleteAs long as viewing doesn't impede work, sleep, etc...in other words, (as Huntley says) you can function in society, it's "normal." Addiction is in the eye of the beholder with some things. Some people are addicted to playing video games.... XOXO
Well, addiction can be diagnosed.
DeleteThat's why we have the DSM. But yeah, that's the general view: if a person can function in society, they are not addicted. Could it be considered extreme by some? Probably. But that does not make it an addiciton.
XOXO
I watch porn here and there... but my go-to and Schick has always been camming or doing naughty Skype. Now I realize pornstars are real, but when I can... whether it be strangers, Warbucks or the Lad, that gets me more hot and bothered when they're watching me and I'm watching them. The lad and I have even cammed with other couples and we watched each other, and that's fucking hot .That gets me more hot and horny than any porn. And there has been the odd night where I may have been on Chatter Bait a little longer than I wanted. But if I do it, it might be once or twice a week that is if I'm not having sex. When I get on Chauterbait or pornhub cams... I can probably easily cum two or three times. Watching guys live is hot! Nothing like seeing a guy fondle himself in a pair of underwear and then he finally springs the cock out ...that could set me off right then. I'm also amazed at how many guys love watching a guy slowly undress till he's naked, that's been a common request. So if I'm not physically having sex in a week with anyone I could probably spend too much time camming.
ReplyDeleteOhhh Camming is hot.
DeleteDuring the pandemic it was peak entertainment. And I can see why it would get you hot under the collar. It is a very, very intimate experience (and watching a man undress and touch himself until he cums is very, very hot). And I know about Chaturbate. My fav cammer there is Apollo Best.
XOXO
I think when it interferes with your life ... you'd rather watch porn than see friends and such ... you're late to work or take days off ... you might have a problem.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same with any addiction ... booze ... porn ... drugs ... food ...
xoxo
Right?
DeleteBut spanking the monkey to any kind of erotica every so often is not an addiction. It's fun!
XOXO
I can't become addicted to porn, because I love too much making sex! Me too I love porn, but enjoying sex through porno is like seeing a person in photos and seeing him in reality. An abyss!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree.
DeleteThere's nothing like getting it on with a man in the flesh. All the porn in the world cannot make up for that.
XOXO
