Do you feel ashamed of watching porn? Is a guilty pleasure?

[eroticview]

How do you feel after you watch porn, because when you are horny and watching all that content is great, but after that, when the horniness is gone and you regain consciousness of what you see, do you feel okay, because a lot of people, outside this community, thing is creepy or weird; specially if we watch cartoons or drawings having sex.

I don't watch real porn, so i'm only gonna answer the question in relation to hentai, and the answer is no. It's all fiction anyways, same way i don't feel bad about going on a genocidal rampage in GTA.

Only time i felt ashamed playing hentai is when i played Back Alley Angel, because the main character is dangerously young. I simply deleted the game from my Hard Drive and moved on.

You mean masturbating and cumming to porn, no need to beat around the bush.

Never felt guilty. I'm short and ugly as fuck so I accepted the truth many years ago that I'm gonna die a virgin. Also, I don't have money to pay for a prostitute, but even if I had I wouldn't do it because it's not my cup of tea.

I normally feel empty and limp after watching porn.

I feel ashamed only when I get aroused by something I never thought as hot.
Discovering a new part of myself that finds joy in watching shemales or cuckolds is weird.

Watching porn is fine. But discussing it IRL with friends or colleagues is a whole different level.

No, I don't care enough to feel anything about it. It's just something I do before I do something else with my day.

i watch both real porn and cartoon/hentai/h-games but i dont feel it purely because i moderate how much i watch it, ill tend to do one or 2 days a week MAX and repeat the week after, its a little harder with porn games because some days im not horny and just wanna see what happens in the damn story yet i see sex scenes and get hard so it can get annoying but otherwise i would say i dont consume nearly as much as most do, that arent even on this site

look up what salman rushdie looks like. then look up what his wife padma looks like.

women don't care about looks, at least not the type of looks men often think. they also don't care about money unlike the incel scam artists want their victims to believe to keep them locked in their grift.

what women care about is you having genuine interests and passions you pursue and trying to grow as a human being. if you stop wondering what others think of you (no guilt is a great start!) and instead focus on developing yourself as a person, good things will happen. it's all about accumulating that internal capital of having a genuine personality.

good things will happen.

Or they will not. And this is more likely, at least in my experience

I feel like I've gotten old enough to not really give a shit about what's considered "normal". One day you wake up and realize that you have several decades at best before you die, so why spend that limited time being miserable trying to uphold an ideal you never formulated, for people's opinions you really don't give a shit about at the end of the day. tl;dr Life is too short to worry about such trivial things. Life on its base level is already an absolutely miserable slog, I'm not going to make it even more so by depriving myself of small windows of pleasure. Maybe that makes me a hedonist, but I don't really care at this point.

 

[desmosome]

Maybe when I was a young Christian lad decades ago, lol. But then you realize there is no god and everyone, including your pastor, jacks off.

porn can be a good workout, and besides it gives me something to do

This is driven and resulted by a healthy human function. It's not important what stimulant you utilize as long as it does not do any damage to others and it's legal by the law.

Porn is just a stimulant... Even if you have an active sex life you might need some change or alone time to destress, porn helps this. Just like pretty much everything, as long as you don't let it eat your whole time by overdoing it.

And shame... Shame is a public norm. Sometimes its logical and needed, but in this case I'm really amazed how sex is considered shameful by the crushing majority. It's a core human feature in the most common way.

 

[hu lover]

Every now and then its good to blast a load, 4 times in one day is rather excessive but it keeps me busy

 

[ketsup]

No more shame left in this body

There's that deep Catholic guilt that's buried inside and I'm not sure I'll every be fully rid of, but for the most part: no. I've got no problems after porn watching.

And as far as that Catholic guilt goes: "Thank God I was raised Catholic, because sex will always be dirty!"

I mean it felt shameful when I was 14 and I had just discovered gay yiff. At first it feels wrong to even watch real straight porn, but over time it just becomes a norm, and it feels less wrong to go for more hardcore stuff. It's comparable to Overton window effect. Although for some the rabbit hole goes too deep, when you get to certain fetishes. I still sometimes feel shame for jerking to diaper stuff.
