People just don't realize it precisely because we don't talk about it, people around don't notice it and you can keep the same pair of trousers (unlike when you drink too much soda).
I think that in a few years, opinion will shift and we'll consider porn as a public health problem.
When will we consider prudes a public health issue? Their shaming is unhealthy and when they get power cause generations of harm. Worse they have no care for it so long as they get their righteous indignation high! Given the sheer toll of prohobition judgementalness is the most insidious and deadly of all of the vices.
Shaming? prudes? judgmental?? What on earth are you talking about?
Look, an increasing number of people (not just me) are realizing how detrimental to their life this little habit has been. Many wish they realized it sooner. And when they realize they are far from being alone [1], they naturally tend to think the effect of porn might be understated in our society.
I'm not judging anyone, if people enjoy it and it doesn't affect negatively their lives, good for them. And if I'm wrong and people like me end up being just a minute minority, then Great News!
But I really don't understand why I get downvoted for this and I understand even less this rambling about 'prudes'.
