Random question time. Like it says in the title has porn or this site affected your real life in any way?

As for myself some of the artwork here has inspired me to improve my drawings, once I saw what some people were capable of it made me want to draw more often and improve.

Another unexpected affect was that to me it made nudity look really comfortable, although I always thought it was I definitely think images here depicting casual nudity made me want to try it.

Was that last part tmi? I hope not.

Yes.

Take a wild guess.

I keep seeing things.

Not much. I've taken countermeasures to prevent it from doing so.

The site has, though not because of porn. This is the first community I've ever known not to treat me like a child out of pity, and it's given me a sense of belonging, and it's indirectly helping me out of my depression.

Porn has turned me into a sexist misogynist who rapes women on a regular basis.

Oooh, look at how elite you are, mister big shot. This guy rapes humans, everyone!

Well that escalated quickly.

I would have to say yes. When I was younger (before the internet was really a thing) it was pay-per-view channels (my parents had an unscrambler in the living room and I would sneak out at night to watch the porn) and nudie mags (purloined from small convenience stores via 5 finger discount). Then when the internet became widespread and affordable I found a plethora of fetishes I had never even dreamt of: transexual, homosexual, lesbian, lactation, and bestiality. From then on it became a sort of obsession and eventually my fondness for bestiality in particular led me to the furry or anthro community, At the tender age of 16 I was hooked to fury porn.

It has given me a neutral outlet to release negative emotions (whereas my positive outlets can make it worse), and has given me inspiration to want to draw.

rent for my midtown manhattan apartment

Nope. Though some porn pics led me to thinking of mini-stories around the porn I've seen.

Kind of...

It's gotten me into programming, data management (with this website's rich tagging system, it's almost a sport to keep things organized) and IRCs.
It's taught me to be more PC (though I'm still pretty bad at it), how to talk to people, and it's made me more approachable (yes, a website known prominently for it's porn has made me more approachable).

Not my personal life (or at least not yet), but it certainly has my free time.

I could say:

• at 12 started just by looking for nude women pictures.

at 13 standard porn videos until I found the existance of hentai videos.
at 14 Hentai drove me to knew the existance of porn of my childhood's cartoons.
that same year that eventually lead to furry porn. stuck with guys like JayNaylor and else.
at 15 year I went obsessed into PKMN porn.
at 16 I discovered the artist elPatrixF and I joined DA to bookmark his stuff which lead to the better focused experience of the porn I'm looking which is not purely furry; I discovered dedicated places, FA, e621, Paheal, IB, etc; and artist alike.
at 18 I joined FA and became from watcher to artist.

The consecuences?

POSITIVE:
I no longer found disturbing or incorrect the LGBT people, at all.
I vastly opened my mind.
The potencial interest spectrum of the human kind is effectively limitless and I learned to be tolerant to that.

NEGATIVE:
Seeing or getting tickles/hurt makes me quite uncomfortable because of the kinks I discovered which obviously I'm not fond of. Some kinks make cringe deeply.
Also I avoid physical contact, specially feet contact.

ah I remember sneaking around at night to look at internet porn, yeah try being sneaky with a dial up internet connection screeching throughout the house.

Honestly, I doubt I'd be a tenth as good an artist as I am right now if I hadn't started drawing my own porn at the age of 13. Lived in a strict household, mother was a massive prude, and as they say, necessity is the mother of invention.

And as an uber-horny boy who masturbated three or four times a day back then, porn was definitely a necessity... or at the very least a priority.

Also, strangely enough, I've found that putting porn on my living room walls acts like a sort of a "shield" around my home. I feel more at home when there's porn everywhere. Good thing I usually keep my blinds closed, though.

It's made me not like certain groups of people very much.

That's about it.

Has porn affected your real life?

The way sex/sexuality is portrayed and treated by the most accessible Media in no way affects my views or expectations about relationships, people living beings of all genders, the concept of love, emotions, family, society, or life in general

Not me!

Eh, not much. The only thing that I learned is that peeps are varying levels of kinky :V

oh goodness. O_O that sounds horrifying since i know well just how loud that crap is. you could probably hear someone connecting to the internet via dial-up from outside.

In the most direct way, as a teen, I basically used porn as study material after my girlfriend told me she wanted to do it. Naturally, I overthought every aspect, and started jotting fucking notes down. Like I had the fucking midterm coming up and my entire future rested on my grade.

Turns out, porn is nothing like actual sex. And no where NEAR as short-lived lol I got better tho...

Every time I see a naked human butt(either in porn or art or RL) I occasionally(often) stop and think "what happened to the tail" and then remember humans are a poor species who decided to not use their tails so evolution took it away.
Furries have ruined me.

I always think that if we did have tails they'd be ugly and fleshy like the rest of us or if it did have hair it might coarse like leg hair.

It's as if the whole thing is unbalanced somehow.

This thread is a joke.

The report tickets it produces are the punchlines. Deploy the Offended masses!

Has there been more than the one ticket?

Really I was just bored and wanted to make a forum thread.

I don't know where this thread is going, but ol Papa HM is gonna get personal, so pull up a beanbag chair and lend an ear.

I've developed apathy around after the time I've started going to sites like this. While this apathy has helped me get over my social anxieties and develop patience, especially helping me finding success in doing a study abroad program, it also has reduced my emotional scope, especially things like compassion. It's not like I'm rude towards others and don't care about them at all, it's just that I can't feel what they feel. It's kind of like that episode of Fairly Odd Parents where Timmy wishes for his emotions to be taken away. He's able to think a lot more logically, but he can't feel anything. It becomes hilarious when he says "ok, go get em. I'll take my emotions back" almost immediately after losing them. Not that I can't feel anything, but you get it. I'm apathetic.

Excitement has taken a hit. I used to be excited when Christmas would come around or when I would get to see my family, but it's not the case anymore. I do tend to get excited, but it's for little things like winning a video game, watching my favorite TV show or movie, but mostly this. I used to think it was because of growing up, but I think it's because I feel like I can get through each day knowing that I can make it to that one bit of privacy at the end of the day. The thing is, if I somehow get rid of this, I could also sacrifice my apathy, the thing that gives me patience with others and success.

Is that a depressing thought? I don't know. It doesn't necessarily feel that way.

The positives are the exact same for me (except I always have liked the LGBT community, because I am bisexual).

The only negative for me is that I cringe when I see cheese graters.
