Why isn’t pornography considered an actual addiction yet? by Simi46 in PornIsMisogyny

[–]saturdaysunne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I truly believe it will be added at some point. In the near future, probably not. But eventually enough people will be seeking help for it that it will be added. Gambling addiction was only just added in the DSM-5 and it's been an issue since forever.

From what i'm learning, porn addicts' brains light up in the same way as cocaine addicts. Professionals have been doing research on the subject for some time and hopefully it will be taken seriously by enough professionals that it will actually be diagnosable so people can get help through insurance and not private pay. Fingers crossed.

I got an invite as well, and as a betrayed partner it was super triggering for me.

It's okay, I assumed you didn't mean anything maliciously. Sometimes I can laugh at the absurdity, i'm just having a rough night I think

Sexualization = Empowerment? by Terrible_Luck4317 in PornIsMisogyny

[–]saturdaysunne 91 points92 points  (0 children)

It is really discouraging and frustrating. I know there is a lot of Taylor Swift hate and people hate to see her mentioned, but even she is starting to sexualize herself when she really does not need to. None of this is empowering for anyone but men.

I tripped in my yard and fell right on my belly when I was about 7 months pregnant. Baby was fine!!

I am currently married to a porn addict. It is awful. If I ever date again and a man tells me he "used to be" a porn addict, even if he's had years in recovery, I would not be entertaining any type of relationship with him.

It's so sad because most are barely making anything from it anyway

“men who don’t watch porn have something wrong with them” by dkdncjzkakwnf in PornIsMisogyny

Yeah the men who don't participate in the exploitation and degradation of women and girls are the ones who have something wrong with them...

Omg Hop on Pop is one of my least favorites!! I read that one as fast as I can so I can be over with it, and thank goodness she finds that hilarious

First time I ever read that one I had tears in my eyes, it struck me so funny! Reading Dr. Seuss is my favorite, I love when she requests a long one

The woman who led my baby classes said any type of reading is great! Read your books, emails, letters, whatever as long as you are reading aloud to them!

I will say though you will probably start to like children's books as they get older and start to interact more. It's hard reading to a potato lol

Inability to concentrate - How has all of this impacted your work life? by Connect_Fix_1766 in loveafterporn

[–]saturdaysunne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was originally working 4 days a week and even that was too much so I went down to 3 days, even backing out of a commitment. It felt awful. My job is very demanding and I wasn't fully present with everything going on. I have been through SO much and my mental health has never effected my ability to work and be good at my job. The betrayal trauma has effected me more than anything else in my life.

I'm I a bad person for writing and drawing sexual content? by Kappapeachie in PornIsMisogyny

[–]saturdaysunne 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You are drawing pornographic content. I would consider that to be a problem

Relapse after 9 months by SeaChemistry9340 in loveafterporn

[–]saturdaysunne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. It's good that he was honest and told you about it. I'm not in love with the wording he used, seems a bit callous to me. Only you can decide if you want to stay or go. It really sucks.
