i think a lot of us are lowkey traumatized by the amount of porn we were exposed to as children and it's a very weird place to be in because generations before ours weren't in a situation where so easily you were unwillingly exposed to pornography. and now if you point out children should not have access to porn you're a prude because we are trying desperately to convince ourselves it was okay and it didn't affect us in a negative way but it did. it did and it's our responsibility to stop this from happening to younger generations

More than lowkey. Even the softcore stuff led me to realize that women and girls are not seen as people, they are seen as toys for men to play with. The hardcore stuff really messed with me. I’ve never been able to feel normal about sex. My self-esteem was always terrible because I didn’t look anything like the women in porn magazines or movies. This led me to believe that I was lucky if any guy, no matter how abusive and horrible he was, showed interest in me. I put up with a lot of abuse.
There was one guy who was a huge misogynist and who enjoyed really sick, awful porn, not just people banging. He was into bestiality and forced me to watch it and to kiss his feet. I will never be able to get those images out of my mind. I finally worked up the nerve to get away from him, but it was not anywhere near soon enough.
