I don’t care if you hate it or love it, I just wanna know why you feel the way you do. Bonus points if you want to speak on specific categories you like/dislike.

Same as any purely pleasurable outlet: great in moderation, terrible when one can’t self regulate. I find it easy to avoid rape-y, tween, unrealistic porn in which I don’t find any sexual gratification. There’s plenty of small creators out there that produce wholesome sexual content.
alot of the non-ph sites(more obscure) have “pirated” OF content amateur and old PH videos.
*a lot.
Nobody should watch it. It has effects on the brain that will literally destroy you, whether it be vanilla or avant-garde. I’m not doing this for religious reasons, but rather, scientific evidence I’ve read that shows the disgusting effects this industry has on any brain, young ones included. I don’t watch porn anymore (though I never purposely relapsed before and after). It will destroy one’s psychology, and for that, it’s grounds to have it banned in specific areas.
All I’m saying here is that porn should never, ever be watched, no matter the religion or political affiliation. If anything, sane people don’t do this.
that will literally destroy you
Can you elaborate on this?
I’d kindly recommend you look at the sources I have brought about in a separate comment.
That doesn’t matter. It’s been scientifically proven to destroy brains, and I’m sticking to it.
do you have a source I could read about that?
I have three here:

This is the classic “correlation does not equal causation”.
The study quite openly says that they can’t tell from their study whether the differences they found were caused by pornography viewing, or whether they have discovered a precondition that makes someone more likely to enjoy watching pornography.
In addition, it’s unclear exactly what a reduction of grey matter in the right caudate means in real world terms. Body size correlates with grey matter volume, and no one would claim that a smaller person, with a lower volume of grey matter has a “destroyed brain”.
Loss of existing gray matter in that area may not be benign, but we don’t know, because the study doesn’t explore that topic.

These two articles talk about pornography addiction, which is distinct from pornography consumption. In addition, both of them talk about the harm caused by pornography addiction as being a result of addiction, rather than an inherent aspect of viewing pornography.
I took a look at them, after some recommendations from Grok.
Perhaps don’t take your advice from an LLM that has been deliberately poisoned with transphobia, racism, nazi apologia and pro billionaire talking points.
LLMs are not truth generators to begin with, but that’s extra so with Grok

why you feel the way you do.
Because it is important if something is useful to me, and it’s none of my business what other people watch.
