Many experts believe that many pornography users experience a behavioral addiction.
One could point to many things unaesthetic about traditional pornography (the "pig face" where the model is heavily made up and scowling... makes me want to slap the person behind the camera) and point to OnlyFans and camgirling as a better product but I think it is a more harmful product because the fantasy that you have a parasocial relationship with the creator is more engaging and more dangerous.
On top of that with the last two years there has been a normalization of video-mediated interactions of all kinds, plus people have not been going out thanks to the pandemic. So I think there has been an explosion in increasingly toxic modern pornography and also the TikTok behavioral sink that has happened so quickly that it hasn't been understood or reckoned with yet.
particularly see the concept of "simping". I would disagree with most manospherists that you should never, say, buy a woman a drink. (Robert Greene says a lack of generosity is "anti-seductive" and he's right.) Being part of a reverse harem of 1,000s or 10,000s of men is dangerous to your pocketbook, self-respect, stunts your psychosocial development and makes it certain that you are not going to develop real satisfying relationships with women or other men.
