No, no, no, no, no. It's not your job, or my job, to find reasons to shame people for doing the things they want to do, as long as they aren't hurting anyone. If the people who voluntarily display pictures of themselves on the internet are in some way harming themselves, that is for them to figure out. It is not for outsiders like you to tell them what they can't do. As I said, this is about freedom. "Live and let live."
In my case, if looking at a picture gives me a moment of feeling like I am actually with a real person, then more power to me. I haven't had sex in 20+ years, and I am not going to deny myself that pleasure. Indeed, most of the porn that I look at is of the kind that people put on the internet voluntarily.
The traditional difference between liberals and conservatives is that conservatives want to control how other people live their lives in the name of some religious system of morality that only they believe in. But now this form of controlling morality has infected liberals too, in the form of "cancel culture". Whether you like it or not, you and David and that awful abusive person Tumble Bug have made yourselves part of cancel culture. You are trying to tell people how to live.
I was a young man once, and I know how young men are. They love to get naked. It is almost instinctual for many of them. It is part of the mating ritual. There are young men out there who would feel DEPRIVED if they couldn't get naked on the internet. Indeed, there are women who have similar sensibilities to men in this area, who would also feel deprived. It is not for you to stop them.
Now, as I said, I am gay, and I look at pictures of men only. I agree that porn made by men with women actors is denigrating to the women. But that is a separate issue. You can't tell me that what I do is harmful to me or the men or anyone, because it isn't.
PLEASE APPLY YOUR MORALS TO YOURSELF AND LEAVE OTHER PEOPLE ALONE.
Please read up about the lies of YouPorn or whatever it's called. It is not at all what you think it is in terms of people voluntarily acting on it.
