What do you mean when you say porn destroys the meaning of sex?

[–] rationalistfaith@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Your question is so off I advise you do research and meditate on your question.

You do realize that you're asking something that is so far off from reality and what it means to a human being.

What a gaslight!

Your question is so off I advise you do research and meditate on your question.

@SugarApplePie literally repeats your own line back to yourself asking you to expand and suddenly it's his question that is off.

When you respond like this it becomes apparent that you simply don't know the answer. You reveal yourself.

You do realize that you’re asking something that is so far off from reality and what it means to a human being.

All you've accomplished here is condescension. Clearly he doesn't realize or he wouldn't have asked. It's also clearly not a rare opinion judging by your initial post so why the pretense that he should already know?

I have to assume you're just a troll because no rational person would respond like this.

Like, all I wanted to know was if they meant more of a "the meaning of sex is having children" angle or a more spiritual "the meaning of sex is to develop a deep connection with someone" or some third thing I hadn't even considered. I was looking forward to a conversation about it because of all the reasons to ban porn I've heard, "it destroys the meaning of sex" is not one I've encountered before. Ah well. The friendliness of this community made me forget we're on the internet for a second I guess lol

You really can't ignore the facts.

Gotta be honest, I expected a better and more thought-provoking answer than what is basically the same shit bigoted nuts throw when someone asks why they have a problem with queer people. With such incredible logic as

porn is as bad as hard drugs (because it is)

I can't believe I didn't immediately fully understand your genius. Next time save everyone the time and don't bother replying if you have nothing to say.
