> However, an easily overlooked aspect of porn is that it canalizes and binds a lot of "useless" energy. A few years ago I heard this tongue-in-cheek hypothesis about male sexuality: Once they manage to reliably eliminate all porn, it will take two days before mobs with clubs and pitchforks roam the streets making political demands.
This implies that men are unable to control their sexual urges or that men are inherently rapists when porn is unavailable, both of those ideas are patently offensive to people in general. Please don't contribute to rape culture stereotypes about men.
- sentenza 13y agoNo it does not. I'm from Europe and the whole rape culture discussion has not really made it over here. If you say that I'm completely off the mark, then let me ask you this: Would you not agree that male teenagers are incredibly angsty and hyped about all things "sex"? Don't you also experience a certain period of incredibly relaxing calm after sex? Male sexuality has a tension-release aspect to it. Nobody is talking about rape here. If you take a bunch of young males, lock them in together and restrict their access to porn, they will become tense to the point of aggressiveness, mostly against each other. One example would be the interpersonal stuff that goes down in the training phase of military service (not talking about instructors).
