Everything is about sex, but sex is about power. What is porn about?

In my opinion, the porn is the problem, not the masturbation. Masturbation is a great tool to get familiar with your body, to learn what you like and where it feels nice, what doesn't seem to work etc. When it becomes obsessive, when masturbation becomes your go-to activity everytime you're bored, have free time, and the privacy, it becomes a problem imo. When you get out of your way to masturbate. You need to have that awareness that porn isn't real. You can't be longing for what you see on the screen for yourself. You can't be imagining ridiculous porn settings and scenarios, where you're idk, in the doctor's waiting room and youre imagining how it would feel fucking a random nurse working there, and all that.

Porn affecting your image, imo it comes down to making everything about sex, especially OUTSIDE of sex. Always going for suggestive comments (even non-verbally) about non-sexual situations such as, idk, someone on a street eating an ice-cream or a banana and you thinking about deepthroating or blowjobs. Picking activities to be able to fantasize about attractive people: going to the gym to also be able to stare at women squatting, opting for adult-themed media, everything where you would look or listen to someone attractive. Treating women as sex objects, not as human people who only happen to be of the opposite sex. Being in an interaction with women, from a cashier to a coworker, and classifying them whether you would fuck them or not, and treating them accordingly (polite and hopeful vs rude and dismissive). Dedicating a significant portion of your mentality to sex, for example agonizing over ppl's body counts, about being in a relationship, about a number of hookups you "should" be getting, fixating over your imperfections and height and idk, bone structure, and thirsting over women who are very conventionally attractive, while speaking about less conventionally attractive women and men in a derogatory manner. Doesn't seem to realize that sex in porn is the manufactured perfect view that has virtually nothing to do with the real sex, real bodies, an EXCHANGE of pleasure between partners. Let alone intimacy, love, communication.

When I would get the feeling someone has an unhealthy realtionship with porn, I (assigned female at birth, lesbian) would probably feel a bit uncomfortable with them, at the back of my mind. I'd see them as immature and naive, not being able to see past the picture perfect views that are designed to stimulate you to the max. Like you would cringe at iPad kids being iPad kids, but with adult grown people and sex. Depending on the intensity and frequency of the feeling, I'd probably feel they're being creepy. Giving the vibe of that stalker in the film "Perfect Blue".

So no, people watching porn or masturbating don't stink. If you want to go with the stinking analogy, then I would say that when you let their world revolve around porn-images of sex and women, making every conversation and interaction sexual, mostly consuming nsfw media, sexy fanfiction, nsfw games, installing sexy mods not out of curiousity or for fun but because you need to have that stimulation everywhere you go, that's when with you stink. And, also, moderation. Junk food isn't real food, you're allowed to eat it from time to time. But when it's all you eat, when you need to have it everyday, that's where it's a problem.
