Not exactly the actions of a democratic government. The Thai government has been blocking sites for a loooooong time what has happened recently in the UK/EU, Canada and Australia is this push towards online 'safety' for the children of course but meaning that everyone has to verify their ages ..with none other than the good ole digital ID or nearest equivalent credit card or verified mobile number/ google Id etc.

October 22, 2025Oct 22 @FlorC I'll just say (not too much more to Jinx it) I tried just this moment ago and its working for me.
October 22, 2025Oct 22 Overuse of pornography is an effect, not a cause. I'd say constantly rising ages of consents are the major cause of erectile dysfunction. When the female age of consent reaches 40, erectile dysfunction will be not far below 100%. And pornography (or cannabis or some other red herring) will be blamed with a vengeance. But old hag man-haters will be disappointed in not having men go after them. Men will prefer to watch porn or get busy with their sexbots.
October 22, 2025Oct 22 I think of porn as a corrosive drug that rewires the brains of young men in really bad ways.

If only I had known earlier..😄 The study focused upon young men (18-35), so we older men either have already mastered the ED problem or we’re too old to reverse it. Wonder why the study didn’t include women? Do they become frigid from watching too much porn?

I used to watch a little porn w/o her knowing to get me hard before I went to my wife in the bedroom but pornography not only affects relationships, porn also affects the brain. Viewing porn triggers dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for reward and pleasure. Repeated exposure can create a pattern where novelty becomes necessary to achieve arousal, and regular experiences lose their appeal.Over time, this can desensitize emotional and physical responses to real-life intimacy. Neural pathways adjust to the instant gratification of pornography, making it harder to connect through slower, emotionally driven experiences with a partner. In some cases, sexual performance or desire may decline, creating additional tension in the relationship. Lasting relationships depend on emotional intimacy, feeling safe, seen, and valued, not just sexual activity. While our culture often emphasizes sex as the cornerstone of connection, deep relationships grow through affection, trust, and consistent emotional presence. When partners focus on emotional closeness, physical intimacy often improves naturally. When emotional distance grows, no amount of sexual activity can repair the disconnect. Pornography, if used as a substitute for connection, risks deepening that divide. 🥺 I think you need to go to the bathroom and clean the sand out of your vagina I have always found porn to be very beneficial for sexual performance.

You could go through that list, and every item she lists, care, trust etc, it is sex which is the materlalization of all them, and whch re-affirms all of them. If you take the second article and accept that emotional intimacy is the feeling of safety to express your emotions, again it is sex which is the ultimate expression of this. If you feel safe saying how you feel, how much safer do you have to feel to allow a man to penetrate you?

As she said "The happiest intimate relationships differ in contrast to casual relationships".

Also the most fulfilling sex comes from emotional intimacy! Emotional intimacy is about emotional connection and closeness, while physical intimacy is about physical closeness. Strong emotional intimacy can enhance physical intimacy, not visa versa, which will lead to a more satisfying sex life.

Of course, because the intimacy is much deeper as it was built for a longer period of time.. That does not negate that sex builds intimacy. However, long term relationships have a problem as well. The happy intimacy will only persist for as long as both parties are able to extract that which they want from the other, in the case of men usually looks, sex etc, and in the case of women usually money, security etc. With the passing of the years however women lose their looks, the joy in sex, and men lose their earning capacity. Why do you think "Gray divorce" over 50 is such a massive phenonmenon now:? Happy intimacy yes, for a while, but other things decline.

Emotional intimacy is about emotional connection and closeness, while physical intimacy is about physical closeness. Strong emotional intimacy can enhance physical intimacy, not visa versa, which will lead to a more satisfying sex life. Actually, the most fulfilling sex comes from a pill, MDMA. However, you're not completely wrong, as MDMA floods the brain in dopamine and thus an immediate emotional intimacy is established, instant connection. The dichotomy you make is false. Physical intimacy leads to emotional intimacy and connection, and vice versa. They are connected heavily. Of course physical intimacy can enhance and create emotional intimacy. In fact, it's the most important thing to establish emotional intimacy. When have you ever had sex without showing care, trust etc? It's impossible.
