It may not be unique, but it may still create false standards in your monkey brain that wasn't built for this.
I know a few people that seem extremely picky when it comes to looks, let's say much more than their own looks allow, destroying potential happy relationships, because they have impossible standards.
- benj111 4y agoOk but if you're saying it's a reason why porn is bad, you have to also accept that all the other things are bad. And as society only seems to single this out for porn while ignoring the other things (apart from perhaps beauty) then it's a bit of a double standard. Not saying you have a double standard personally though.
- carlmr 4y ago> you have to also accept that all the other things are bad. Exactly, I think all these things are bad in the same way. They distort your sense of normalcy. I do think porn might have a special place here though. As with any addictive drug, you have a ritual, with a dopamine hit that accompanies an activity you can do quite frequently and that doesn't keep you satisfied. That's really the kind of stuff that shapes your brain more than passive activities like TV. Social Media is probably on a similar level of insidiousness.
