Porn can easily make you desensitized so you need more and more, perhaps more hardcore stuff to get off eventually. The key in my experience to take care of your reward system is to not orgasm to it too often or to the hardcore stuff. The key is in the orgasm. If you can just resist orgasming to it, then you’ll save your reward system, it’s like the orgasm is what etches the neurological pathway in place that makes you rely on the porn and desensitizes you. 
 

So my point is if you ever try to quit porn but you end up watching it and getting turned on, don’t think “I failed so I might as well continue” because as long as you don’t reach orgasm, even if you edge, you’re not wrecking your reward pathway so you’re fine if you just stop before the orgasm

My pseudo science hehe

I think that pornography reveals above all how twisted the psyche is.
It reminds me of Something else who told me that pornography had induced homosexual tendencies in him; But I never wanted to watch homosexual pornography, it's just disgusting.

It's like saying I was too greedy so I started eating stones.

You all have missed his point entirely. He is not talking about a hardcore stuff being bad, but about porn focusing entirely on the mechanical part of the whole ordeal, neglecting the whole socio-emotional component to seduction and sex. Terrible attempts at acting obviously doesn't save it

And he has a point there obviously

I've found some really high quality porn and then the techniques and positions I get from it make my own experiences 10x better. And then combine that with tantric practices (withholding your seed,) wow, reaching enlightenment has never been this fun! 

I agree with Robert though, most of the porn out there is quite mechanical and weird

It's funny how after the video ends, there's a pop up recommendation video of Robert Greene titled "Do not run away from your dark side". Obviously, he's aware people do have a dark side to them and that pornography can feed into that dark side. He's just rambling on about how he thinks humans should be. He's in a fantasy world. Not the "real world". There are people in relationships or marriage who feel nothing and are just mechanical beings when having sex and feel no emotions also. Doesn't take porn to bring that out in people. 

Porn is porn. Can't reflect real love and loving emotion. So, to describe it in the way he does is exactly that - pornography. It's like looking at a wall and describing an orange or expecting porn to be any other way. Some people need to experience something in life to know what they don't want. There are people who, after watching porn, turn out to be in the most loving relationships because porn disgusted them so much and they didn't want to be like that.

That's how you have to think about life. Everything is leading us to LOVE.

I think it can go both ways. Porn can be just a reflection of desires and kinks that were already there, or it could create new ones by exposure, or at least feed them.

 What's wrong with some gay porn? My guy you're every single being in the universe, if you find anything disgusting it's on you.

I did a cabin trip with my buddy who's not that much into spirituality and some other guy literally had a 5-MEO-DMT pen, I hit it was phenomenal and my buddy hit it and his whole reality crumbled lmao. He was out loud debating the metaphysical implications of having sex with a fish and if you were to do so would which end would be more attractive. 

In regards to OP @AION, I don't know if I agree that porn is fully loveless but funnily enough watched that video about 2 weeks ago and I'm currently on a 75 day no porn challenge(also with no drugs and reading/working out/content everyday). I want to level up big time and get a harem in the summer so I think it'll help.

Lol.

Well, if I manifest the presence of homosexuality and I'm at least a little gay, like the rest of us.
But it's weak enough that I really don't want to be involved at all or almost. 

I have nothing against homosexuality btw.
