I'm using an app that's meant to help me stop and just to tell me when there is a problem. I don't think they got everything right but some stuff yeah their basically right. Just the fact that I view this much really is something. But is it really that problematic?

If you're using an app to help stop, you already have an answer and no word salad is going to tell us anything more than it tells you. I don't care what kind of legal porn you watch or how often. What you shared doesn't even say how much, just terms.

So you think you have a problem and... what? You want someone to talk you out of it? Not my place, but good luck negotiating this aspect of your life and hopefully you are satisfied by whatever conclusion you come toโ€”every pun intended.

Broke: I need more surveillance to help me stop consuming porn because of my dopamine levels

Woke: I look at nudes that were shared without extortion involved, with myself or the public, because I understand the guilt comes from participating in the violation of other people's consent and boundaries

Bespoke: Involve random people on the internet in whatever weird exhibitionist fetish this is supposed to be

No kidding, I didn't see the image attachment until after I composed my reply...

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Yes. You already know that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yes officer they are right here ๐Ÿซต

"Melee_weapon" yeah that's pretty dangerous I'd say.

Honestly, are you just into furry or "feral"?

Suspicious word detected

If the attached image is your tags, you're fine.

Puss in boots is weirdly specific

I look at furry porn. I haven't particular looked at that so that's why it's not fully accurate.

The image only contains consenting adults who look very happy to be with each other (the perspective on the muzzles could use a little work though), so no, not very problematic. It is problematic if you're making an active effort to stop browsing porn and you still got far enough for your web browser to load that text.

I don't look at real people though.

Ask yourself: do you watch porn to get off, or do you watch porn because you like the act of watching porn and not primarily the getting off. If itโ€˜s the latter in my opinion itโ€˜s time for change.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

A little bit of both.

Well the death thing is kinda sus.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Death from Puss in Boots apparently which I don't remember viewing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Is that a character in that movie or book?

[โ€“] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh I didn't expand the image, this guy is probably just posting this as a segue into sharing this list of their fetishes. How disgusting

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you're unaware here you go.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago
