I've been hearing about the imminent, oncoming disaster of porn-based mental illness my whole life.

 

For me, this is like the pot argument: Does it make you a loser, or do losers just really love pot?

I rather like having a working spouse.

Gives us something other than mundane sh*&*t to talk about over dinner.

 

In many ways when we were in Thailand full time, and I couldn't work her work stories helped keep me sane through the boredom

We have a small farm with animals, so we have something to do every day, we also have other interests and activities as well travel often around inside and outside Thailand.

So, i was at the beach few days ago and there was this foreign lady walking with a guy. She was probably late 50's I'd say, and she had a real nice body. The semi thong bikini she had on was would put many 25+ yr olds to shame. But, that's like the unicorn discovery.

On a somewhat serious note, I do worry about the effect of pornography today, but not for men, more for boys.

 

I don't think it's a stretch to say that for many of us sex ed was rooting through Dad's sock draw for his porn stash.

 

Thing was back then it was a lot more vanilla and for a lot of it even the teenage male brain could tell it was staged.

 

Not so sure about that today, and I fear that what a lot of what those boys watch online gives them a very misleading idea of what is regular sex versus fantasy.

 

It's not that I would want to restrict porn, I think as an adult I can distinguish reality and fantasy, but not so sure a 15 year old boy can make that distinction

Hi, Thanks for your thoughtful reply. 

 

Scientific studies of the effects of pornography are rarely conducted. Why? Because early studies showed harm so clearly, that it became almost impossible for researchers to get ethics approval for more experiments.

 

Men have been propagandised to believe it is healthy & liberating for them (much like cigarette smoking was encouraged for many decades).

 

This is particularly so in the US, where people are taught that access to pornography should be defended as part of America's hard-won constitutional freedoms. But the First Amendment was never intended to protect speech that has no social merit, artistic quality, or political purpose. Most online pornography would not meet those standards, meaning that the Free Speech rationale for pornography has little merit or relevance today.

 

I agree with you that digital delivery is a completely different ballgame to the old school 20thC methods like videos, DVDs, magazines, movie theatres. Those required a bit more determination and forethought by the user! 2000 was the year it really got started (high speed internet became widely available in the home). Interesting for us to look back now, 23 years down the track.

 

I also agree with your very sensible observations about the effects on young men.

Won't cause psychosis. Won't cause a sex crime rampage thru the streets. Won't cause pedophilia overnight. 

 

May contribute to a lot of divorces, failed relationships, and depression in the long term (for men and also for the women trying to have intimacy with them). 

 

Subtle downstream effects. 

 

Don't you think?

I prefer Farang:

 

-No secret cultural code to crack

-No relatives wanting money

-Can talk about various stuff and agree that Somtum is goot -at the same time

-more mental in bed

 

Caveat:

The kind of Thai women who would fill the bill above, I could not get. The intra-Asian competition would squash me like like like a bug. I had an arty, slightly intellectual GF prospect over here for like an hour and half. And I blew it.

 

(I blew it) A rubber one?

How about:
 

1.  Farang wife who can't speak English and has 10,000,000,000 in her bank account that will become mine

2.  Thai wife who graduated from Harvard and has a PhD in molecular biology.

3.  Farang wife who cannot complain

4.  Thai wife who cannot complain

5.  Thai wife who sees me and only thinks of prn.

6.  Farang wife who buys a few houses in Thailand (under my gf's name) and lives in America

7.  Thai wife who owns a 100-story condo with me and I stay in the top 10 floors by myself

8.

even a local full time working wife, because that would limit my freedom while living here

How does that limit your freedom here ? my wife works full time, so I actually have MORE freedom. :coffee1:

Farang my age are generally fat with disgusting attitudes.  I hate them really.

A Thai lady 30 years younger is preferable.

So just canvassing thoughts here.

 

But do you think a woman 30 years your junior would be interested in you?

 

I'm very sure you are a Hansum Man, as are we all, but really gotta think about why any woman young enough to be your daughter has any true sexual interest in you

I always liked mature woman, but mostly between 30 and 50 with a few exceptions both ways. 

 

I got a taste for older women from young age, but there is a limit of course both physical appearance and mentally.

A Filipina is not one of the options. Some expats believe that the secret to relationship success is to find a sweet Filipina and bring her to Thailand. 

I have met a few with Philipines and Laos gf's, and they seems ok with their life's. I guess bringing a thai gf to Laos, Cambodia or Philippines could be challenging.

Don't you think?

No, I think porn addiction and sex addiction at the level of requiring a 12 steps program is very rare.

 

Parsing out these bad habits as significant contributors to life-misery (as opposed to the vague may contribute) would be hard work.

 

A person who's depressed, fails at relationships, and prob has a few other vices is never going to be the foundation of a rom-com plot.

 

Like pot, porn is for the idle and the slack. If those traits are proof of mental illness, I should be in a straight jacket by now.
