The answer is quite simple. Like a lot of things, it comes back to whether an Abrahamic God exists. I'm not well versed on the Bible or other such books - I've only read Genesis - but I've been told that porn is against Christianity. I've also heard people say that free speech in general isn't supported by Christianity and Islam. If I realised that an Abrahamic God exists, I would comb through the corresponding available texts and decipher what was and wasn't allowed. However, until then I shall continue to support free speech.

inb4 yes I know I need to read more of the Bible this has just reminded me, I will start again tonight.

I decided to stop for my health because I did actually read it for about a month but I was way too invested in it. I was going through it too slowly with too fine a comb and I was thinking about it all the time and I kept getting perplexed and I, no joke, got a couple bad headaches purely out of confusion at new verses.

If you have a brain then Christianity is against porn for everything about it is sinful @Mahojo2

^

that

And even if you don’t have a brain you can figure out porn is a negative for you by sheer logical thought if you aren’t addicted to it

@Deli.v2 yes?

@Mahojo2 I would recommend referencing church tradition and philosophers on it, "freedom" is good to the church but freedom meant something different pre-enlightenment that they coopted the term to get good optics.

@CaesarKonrad can u essplain why porn is bad

@Ater Votum well let’s see it is highly addictive this has been proven by scientific studies and it makes you seek it out rather than actual sex. People who regularly watch experience less sexual gratification and often develop deviant sexual taste because porn functions like a drug you need a more extreme dosage over time. A study on relationships found relationships where no partner watched porn did the best by looking at personal commentinment, negative communication, infidelity, and sexual gratification there were some others but those are the most important

how do you think you can cure it

You don’t watch porn

so whats the first thing i do as a porn free person

i can draw and thats pretty much it

Everything else you do just not watching porn but I would say actually get out and try to get a girlfriend and build a family spend more time socializing and other things like that

already have a girlfriend

I also like how people say “animals masterbate” but other primates almost never do it when out the wild

i have female friends but theyre all shit

Then make new friends like I don’t why you need to ask what to do instead of porn that’s just up to you for what you want to do

But when j struggle with getting off of porn I found if I stayed inside / at my house I generally relapsed

i have friend

s

Then spend time with them

Lol

i do

Like I don’t how I am supposed to answer the question “what to do instead of porn” I spend my time lifting running reading and playing games

And you and me are different people so I can’t just say you this is what you must do in place of it

Free speech is intended to open more possibilities, there's no end goal of free speech. However it can reach a point of that if misused.

>misused
someone needs to be physically removed

@CaesarKonrad maybe you should learn how to use commas

I use commas sometimes
