I mean they’re right. The problem with PornHub isn’t that it’s too vanilla or something (I really prefer vanilla) but that almost everything on it is hyperreality. It’s the kind of sex that you could, at age 13, imagine is really hot but then grow out of.
Watching it is just distracting and funny, like you’re watching a parody of sex. It’s hyperpalatable in the way a McDonald’s hamburger or a MrBeast video are – which is totally what some people are into.
I don’t need a deep, intimate connection with my porn, but I would like to feel like the humans in/creating it might actually be authentically enjoying themselves. That scarcely exists on sites like PH, so why would I waste my time trying to find it?
When i was hooked to porn i just used reddit (admittedly only has short clips rather than full scenes but i guess i didn’t know that lol) and I don’t really get why people would use xvideos and pornhub, because it feels like you’re about to get a virus whenever you use them. Whereas you can basically get all the stuff you need from reddit or even twitter at one point in history, and it felt more curated.
So it isn’t important but if anyone could help me understand the logic I’d at least expand my understanding of the internet i guess. It’s something that still baffles me to this day when i see memes like this.
I never got a virus on my android phone. I steer clear of browsing porn on my laptop for this very reason. I am also fighting this addiction, so I am only looking less than half the time. I try to steer clear of it at the same time I fall prey to it. Reddit porn is bogus. I need a story.
Ya gotta search harder than that. I use more niche sites. PH and XV are basic.
oh wow, a porn hipster
cool

My man you wrote a whole book but didnt mention any better sites
Not just vanilla but unless you got amateur stuff some of the big videos are more highlights and cuts the ending.
They used to be great, but they deleted a lot of their old content and are shells of their former selves. Most of the time they’re 4-6 minute clips.
Ok Lemmy, what is the FOSS porn website.
Youre on it.
Not FOSS, but still feels like the Xtube used to thisvid.com

Adblock. The logic is adblock.
True, true. I historically was very lazy when it came to adblock.

Hope it goes well with you, you can always reach out to me as an accountability partner or need to talk through anything regarding it
