Not in the slightest. I don’t care if they know my darkest kinks. That’s life. Everyone has something out of the ordinary that appeals to them. I owe no one any explanation for it. Nothing I enjoy is illegal so let them see.

It honestly baffles me that so many people feel so ashamed of liking porn when they logically know that nearly everyone else likes it too.

honestly if the people I know in daily life knew some of the porn I've, um, enjoyed, they would never look at me the same way again, I would have an identity/existential crisis, have to leave town and start all over again rebuilding new relationships with all new acquaintances

That's weird of them... you know they like the same porn, right? Masturbation is a private activity so the porn you watch is your business alone - unless it's made without consent (including cp and beast because they're unable to consent).

Porn is unhealthy, it warps the human mind by interfering with the way our brains are wired to form and maintain human relationships. Anyone who still loves looking at porn and won't admit that it is a sad pathetic tragic replacement for human relationships, may be already too far gone.

Ooooh, so you made this question as a bait because you're a judgemental asshole. Porn is fine for most people, if it isn't for you then feel free to abstain - but fuck off with your puritanical bullshit.

Thats someones interpretation, certainly not yours either. You could say that anything you do "interferes" with something you would otherwise do. Ate a store-bought sandwich? That "interefered" with the way your brain is wired to hunt the food yourself.
