Puritanism has returned.
- sph 4y agoBoth that and online porn has ruined us. It is an major epidemic that is still under the radar for how massive it is, in my opinion. And it's sad, because sex is very fun and porn is a very poor approximation of the real thing.
- krageon 4y agoThe irony here is that you are responding to someone lamenting puritanical thought with a puritanical post.
- krrrh 4y agoThe subtlety is that the hyper stimuli of modern porn streaming, while lascivious on the inside, is leading to something that looks like puritanism on the outside, hence the drop in actual sex.

- sph 4y agoNo. What is ironic is thinking being against porn is puritanical. It's not all black and white. Like many people outside of the US, I am as far from puritanism as possible, yet I maintain that porn is a cancer. We should have more sex instead. The hippies were onto something.
- krageon 4y agoIt is in fact possible to be further from puritanism, because you could not be against porn. There's nothing wrong with sex and there's nothing wrong with filming it or otherwise making money off of it.
- sph 4y agoThat's a pretty reductive view of the matter, that completely misses the forest for the trees.
- benj111 4y agoSo the problem is simultaneously porn and Puritanism?
- sph 4y agoIf you think the opposite of puritanism is PornHub, you have a pretty distorted view of sexuality. Both are degenerate, but they're not on the same axis at all. The fact that both replies to my comment share this view shows how unhealthy is our society's approach to sexuality. Free, healthy, frequent consensual sex with real people for fun or otherwise, is miles better than either, and doesn't fit in any of the two black and white categories you have identified.
