Porn Addiction is an Addiction to Depression

Does watching hot girls get railed out by a man with a gigacock make you feel better, or worse?

Everyone knows the standard scolding that comes along with the subject of porn. Most of the moralizing comes from recovering porn addicts who get fixated on making sure no one else watches porn to make them feel normal about constantly avoiding it. This post isn’t about morality. I don’t do morality. There’s more than enough of that to go around.

I’ve written about this topic in On Porn a few years ago, but I want to expand on the above point. Cuckoldry typically refers to a man watching a woman he’s dating or married to get plowed by a man who isn’t him. In the case of watching porn, it’s more accurate to say he’s taking part in voyeuristic cuckoldry. He’s watching another man have sex. There’s no getting out of it — the man watching porn is cucking himself.

“Med, what if I’m watching lesbian porn?” Lesbians aren’t real. Allow me to continue.

If you’re a porn watcher, you’re most likely watching a man with a gigacock tearing apart the specific type of girl you fantasize about. If you’re a regular, you’re watching the exact type of sex you wish you were having. What do you think partaking in this does to your self-esteem? It ravages you just as much as the girl you’re watching.

I’m not going to speculate about the female-oriented points about what porn does to relationships. Does watching porn “raise your expectations about what women should look like”? I have no idea, only you do. But I guarantee you don’t feel any better about yourself after watching another man do something you wish you could do. Who would? Imagine wanting to fix a leaky faucet and another man steps in front of you and handles the job in front of your woman. That’s exactly what’s happening while watching porn.
