I think many of us already know that the endless availability of porn online has already damaged a lot of men, women and their ability to have health relationships. Children are being exposed to porn at younger and younger ages 10 - 12 years old at a time when they are too young to have any context for sex or adult relationships, their development will be shaped by porn and that early exposure will affect them for a very long time.

On reddit there is so many porn boards and I am sure a lot of it is illegal. There are also pro-porn subs with over a million men on them celebrating their porn addiction and planning all their free time around using porn and deepening their addiction to porn. Sex dolls are promoted and there is already a growing genre of porn with men and their dolls. With the advent of AI men will be able to generate what ever porn they want to see at the click of a few buttons and who know if they will be downloading and using your or my face on their AI generated porn and that they will probably share it online for anyone to see.

Women are either faced with porn sick men who can't engage in genuine intimacy or they feel like they have to compete with an ever changing array of naked women on the screen to be worthy of there boyfriend or husbands desire. So many women now are just saying no to dating and men.

I just can't see how its going to get better as porn becomes ever more tailored to men's ever more extreme fantasies, I read some comment somewhere saying that AI girlfriends are just few years away and that for men porn, dolls and AI is just easier and more comfy than dealing with real woman one choice quote online was "What men want from women? Peace, quiet and sex."

In my opinion porn simulates the meeting of a man's biological needs for sex and at the same time damages his confidence and motivation to make a real relationship with a real women. After years of porn use a man finds the prospect of a real woman too stressful and is too desensitised to enjoy intimacy in a loving, organic way even if he gets a partner.

YANBU = Yes porn and how it affects people in future is a worry.
YABU = Porn is harmless fun you old prude!

Although I've chosen YABU it isn't for your reason. The lads and men I know want companionship and there's still a lot who want children.

Women could just opt out, and raise children together.

Then they wouldn’t have to be risk being choked or any other male fantasy.

@Ponoka7 True, I am thinking more of in the future though, its already bad enough but as you some there are still men who want partners and kids but that doesn't stop a man from getting porn addicted either later in the marriage.
