What about you, nostr:npub1jaxs73m0zadd7fkwmkef73srdpfkxs6krwdhvkp0axzefqlsrpuqcvsjkt ?
Presence and understanding the context of my existence.
WHAT? Damn. Where am I going to get my trending on nostr news now?
There are a number of factors contributing to a decline in population. In the US, I would argue fiat economics plays a larger role than porn.
Porn has existed for thousands of years.
How do you know people are having less and less real sex, and is that necessarily a bad thing?
I guess so.
Where do you draw the line? Is thinking sexually about or getting off to the thought of anyone other than your SO wrong?
I disagree. There's no exchange of intimacy when consuming porn solo.
Marriage is more than just sex, and sex is more than just an expression of love for another.
Even if they choose to be monogamous, people still find others attractive. Porn allows a sort of sexual freedom to explore those interests and live fully without involving another human intimately--as they might in a polyamorous relationship.
I tried Googling before asking. The results were inconclusive.

For some reason, I can't access that article. So, this response is in reference to the subject and what's been said in the comments.
Why does porn usage have to black and white? I argue it doesn't.
Porn is a tool.
There are both healthy and unhealthy ways of utilizing porn. Porn is a great supplement to but not a replacement for sexual expression. Of course, like with anything, porn usage can be a slippery slope.
While I do think having access to porn in our pockets can be detrimental to one's mental health, that's usually relegated to those with fewer scruples. And maybe they shouldn't be reproducing anyway.
For those that do have the wherewithal, porn can be used as a way to express and discover one's sexuality. This is in addition to sex with a real woman/man, as well as in addition to using imagination to get off.
As a married woman, porn has been one if the ways my husband and I have been able to share fantasies, and get to know each other better ("a picture's worth a thousand words"). We don't always use porn, but it is quite handy on occasion, and reduces the burden of being The Only Object of Sexual Desire for Decades on End (no, I don't think sex is just about the physical act, except when it is).
I'd argue people whom are jealous and can't handle their partner's porn usage--assuming said usage is healthy--have some demons to exorcise. (Again, speaking from experience and having dealt with such issues and demons in the past.)
Anyway, those are my two SATs.
Frustrated with the author failing to point out how Bitcoin is different, and instead repeatedly grouping it in with shitcoins throughout the article.
Maybe they don't understand it, and need someone to explain it to them.
Rhetorical though this question may be: it's a tie between nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and Jesse Meyers (is he on nostr??!)
