As long as my man dont have a problem with it its all good to me. We comunicate vise versa about that stuff cause people have insecurities and comunication is key.
That’s like saying shooting games makes people want to shoot others. Humans have this ability called separating fiction and fantasy from reality. Watching the food network isn’t going to make you disappointed every time you eat food you cook yourself is it? As long as you communicate your relationship goals and you are able to separate fantasy and reality (like most of the population) it’s not an issue
I get the video is a joke but certainly smut could lead to the same unrealistic expectations, instant dopamine hit, escapism to cope etc similar to porn, no? If so then in my experience, as someone who has struggled because of porn, it can definitely be toxic.
You have to know what kind of person you are. Some people are way more prone to those kind of addictions. Most people are able to moderate themselves. It can be a self learning experience where you can read about a kink you want to explore and get a better understanding of if it will work for yourself or your partner. But this argument can be used for ANYTHING. Internet addiction for kids with internet access. Tablet kids are bad, but the internet as a whole isn’t. It’s about moderation. Drinking can be okay in limit, but it can be an addiction. ANYTHING can be addictive. You can be addicted to the escapism of fantasy or sci fi novels just as much as smut.
You brought up some really valid points 🧐
I did my research. :p
So eloquent. I really liked the urgency you had in the middle. Riveting for sure
Hahahahahahahaa oh man you got me. You got me.

"Especially smut."

Honestly, you made a really great argument here and I love how many talking points you brought up, the facts you sighted, all of it
although your reasoning seems to be valid and have some really good points going for you, I will not be deleting my Wattpad account quite yet :D
Ugh. Fine. Ok.
It can actually become problematic because it creates unrealistic expectations within a relationship.

Yes, a compelling argument for certain.
