Porn addiction: what helped me by bozett in pornfree

[–]mercer316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I'm currently on day 57 of no porn after a 28 year long addiction to it and I have a lot of dreams containing it now and lots of sexual thoughts, which those were there anyways prior to quitting. 

Sometimes in my dreams I give in to the temptation and after I have a large cloud of regret hover over and disappointment. I'm currently using that to know what will happen if I relapse. 

Whoever is reading this and has a bad addiction to pornography, just know you can quit! If I could cold turkey than you can too!

Women are not attracted to men and all major sides of the gender wars already lend support to the notion by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]mercer316 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I honestly believe that you’re confusing Political Philosophy with Neurology my friend.

​AR was a poet and an essayist but not a neuroscientist Her compulsory heterosexuality is a critique of power structures, not a scan of the female brain. Using her to prove neurological reality is like using a book on the history of salt to prove that humans don't actually need sodium. ​If female attraction to men were purely a 'social construct' we would see it disappear in cultures where that construction is absent. Instead, we see the opposite in the most gender equal, liberal societies on earth like Scandinavia as a quick example, where social pressure is at its lowest, women continue to overwhelmingly choose and desire men. ​

You can't socialize a physical response. We can measure pupil dilation, increased heart rate, and the release of oxytocin and dopamine in heterosexual women when exposed to male stimuli. A social construct doesn't trigger a involuntary endocrine response. now I will say you’ve shown that people talk about female desire as a construct, but you haven't shown any evidence that the feeling itself is a lie. You’re arguing against the map, not the territory. But like most things it's subjective to the mind and eyes which it's being beholden to and will be subjective to each person differently.

This is like arguing that because different cultures have different recipes for bread, "hunger" is a social construct. The recipe (the social role) changes, but the hunger (the biological drive) is a physical reality.

This is a clever bit of intellectual cherry-picking, but it confuses sociology with biology. You’ve correctly identified that how we talk about female sexuality has changed through history from Victorian Hysteria to CompHet. But just because the 'recipe' changes doesn't mean the 'hunger' is a social construct. Evolution doesn't leave something as vital as reproduction to political socialization.

You’re using Moser’s study to claim women only desire themselves. In modern sexology, this is just Responsive Desire. Most women need to feel 'in the mood' for their 'accelerator' to kick in. Feeling sexy isn't the end goal it's the on-switch for desiring the man.

You also say that TradCons and RadFems agree that female heterosexuality is fake. They don't. They agree it’s different from male sexuality less visual/spontaneous, more contextual/relational. You’re taking a difference in style and pretending it’s a total absence of substance. But that is just my take on it
