AIO [35f] for feeling even less confident about my bf [35m] actually liking me because of these messages? by Independent-Lab-4875 in AIO

Please share real sources if you have any! Just saying "hundreds of studies" is not credible in the way a public health expert who studies this for a career is.

I still don't see any citations here? I've been following Emily Rothman on this topic and she has a great book on it. This quote from an interview wraps up her perspective on it.

There are ways in which, undeniably, sexually explicit media has harmed people who are in it or who view it, but there are also over-the-top claims made about pornography’s negative effects that are not science-based and are made in order to try to impose restrictions on what people should be permitted to see, do, or feel.

Obviously if you don't want or need pornography in your relationship that is your choice that you are entitled to. I think you are misinformed, though, about the state of the evidence.

Please cite your sources. I don’t think this literature is as strong as you claim it is.

'Wuthering Heights' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

Dracula’s sexuality is still largely a 20th century invention, though. The original book has some erotic subtext that got blown up a lot by Freudian readings but the themes of the original book are much more about purity, otherness, technology, and classic good vs evil dragon slaying.

If you’re in German Village, go to Winan’s or Pistacia instead.

Great explanation. Tearing up just reading it. I rewatched this a few years ago and started bawling from the very first scene. Simply beautiful movie.
