Are you comparing porn with cigarettes for real?

There's evidence to suggest the dopaminergic addiction is just as strong

Porn addiction can be much more damaging to people's lives than cigarettes.

  None of the prior comments talk about addiction. Just porn consumption. Addiction to anything is bad, simple.

> Are you comparing porn with cigarettes for real? Well, technically speaking, it wasn't a comparison, it was a rhetorical parallel to indicate that perhaps just because something appears to be pleasurable, it doesn't mean that it's also good for you. Were I to compare, it would be an apples/oranges thing, which isn't the right way to compare anything. Not to mention that smoking affects only the user (and their environment, surely, and perhaps their insurance provider), while porn also affects the actors, to a degree that it must be paralleled to abuse. You may like watching porn; but could you stomach going through that meat grinder as your career?

  Yea, I had a feeling I used the wrong word “compare”, but didn’t know the correct word. Thanks. > just because something appears to be pleasurable The comment you reply to didn’t only focus on pleasure. > Not to mention that smoking affects only the user This doesn’t connect. Smoking affects also people nearby (people that didn’t sign up for it). Porn only “affects” people watching and involved (both parties signed up for it). Also look up ethical porn. I can’t vouch for all of it, but I know some people here in Europe that treat their performers well. We largely fixed this with coffee. I hope we can largely fix it with porn. > You may like watching porn; but could you stomach going through that meat grinder as your career? I love sex and wouldn’t mind getting paid to have it. I know some performers personally and wouldn’t mind working with them. The only reason I won’t do it is because society will penalize me when I maybe want to become president ahaha.
