Are porn addicts just a group to mock and shame?
I watched this video where this youtuber talks about going to art school and he watched a friend of his perform their work, where the friend had opened with a five minute monologue about 'gooning'. And the youtuber found no matter how much of an open mind he tried to have he couldn't get it. It wasn't until later when he talked with some of his guy friends, that his friends opened up to him about their porn addictions, some struggling with it since middle school, and that the monologue was the first time they've ever felt seen and that their addiction wasn't treated like a joke.
After hearing and watching that I felt like I gained I new perspective. I realized there's some/a lot of vulnerability in that.. but idk. I feel like the stigma behind porn addictions is still really bad to take this new found perspective seriously.
(Ngl i dont really understand your question) I feel like its kinda the same with other addictions, its hard to talk about them because they are stigmatized, and thats where a lot of people feel shame on. Theres this vulnerability in openly (physically) confessing to someone or maybe just your own that one is addicted to something, it sounds crazy b...... reply
