When I was an insecure teenager (yikes), I would look at pictures on Reddit to compare my body to the girls. Not a healthy habit. Now I am older. I don’t know how dudes could look at a picture of someone they find attractive, and proceed to get so aroused that they have to touch themselves. Just from a picture. I occasionally looked at corn out of curiousity and every single time I would look at it, I would be like “WTF is this”. I remember going on 4chan and looking at their gif page for some reason, spending 5 minutes there and being so shocked and disgusted by what I saw that I had a nightmare afterwards. Since then, I realized it’s not just about being “dominant” in an Edward Cullen romantic way, but it’s also about degradation and humiliation. Every other time that I looked at it, it was for morbid curiosity. Like, “I am a heterosexual woman wanting to see what heterosexual men like”. It’s always so depressing. None of it is loving and happy. I understand that there are ~feminist creators~ who create loving videos where both participants are happy and not being humiliated. Corn is not for me, so I don’t look at it beyond the occasional curiosity browse for 5 minutes, for example if someone has an OF twitter I will just see because I am a nosy chismosa. But beyond that, I find it so miserable.

I don't watch it and it made me sick when my last bf told he he watched it. Is there any advice on how to vet men so you don't have a bf who watches it? Is it always something we have to find out later? It's heartbreaking.

But then you have that guy that you want thinking that You watch it because you asked that question. So, you found a good guy and he thinks you're not someone he'd like to date...
Continuously vet, it is something to find out later, but not long in the grand scheme. When following the handbook it doesn’t hurt or seem like the world drops honestly.
I’m having a lot of fun in the beginning but also eyes wide open. Not jumping to conclusions bc of past trauma or fixated on “finding evidence” but waiting for them to bring it up, because they will. Little clues will be there and then i find they always full on admit it when you’re not up grilling them about those.
They’ll admit it. The last guy I was seeing long enough to be making out with admitted it, about a month in. He said he was a little exhausted from watching videos earlier and I was like what do you mean. I had enough of a suspicion from some other really subtle giveaways I just found out like the night or two prior and it just confirmed it. Squeaky clean SM and then sharing tiktoks with him I could see his account and they were all strangers or hobby acts but two were questionable.
I shared my stance after he admitted it and he said he totally agrees and he didn‘t think of it like I did (harming women as a whole, general respect) and I didn’t really buy it but we had a date planned for a holiday so I went and then afterwards checked his sm following again and it actually increased in questionable accounts so I just blocked and deleted. Not worth “explaining what I meant” again.
Once is enough to share know this is limiting my pool but I’m at a place where I really don’t care. I’m not interested in guys that haven’t done the work themselves, like with other bad habits.
I will share how I feel once maximum once it is clear as day, what they do with that is up to them. It takes about a month to figure it out for me. There’s men who don’t and it’ll come up in due time. Advice is have fun, do not be attached, do not reveal this as a dealbreaker from the get go (most men already don’t flaunt their habit, you don’t want to give them a tip to hide it better), do not sleep with them, and once you find out they crossed your boundary, leave.
Vetting men for porn sickness is essential. Here's some clues to find out without over stepping or blatantly asking. --Does he have social media? Who does he follow on instagram? Insta models are rarely fully clothed. If he's interested in seeing bikini models whenever he's bored, he's never more than a few swipes from masturbation.--"I think OF has been detrimental to women." You say, if he replies with a bunch of "It's empowering to content creators", "I think it's better than regular corn because...", "Some women have become millionaires on OF, it's entrepreneurial!" These are the excuses of a man who knows he's benefitting from OF and women are being conned. What's more, he's okay with it and he just wants to make sure you're still okay with him.--
