    Honest question, is it normal to feel regret after watching porn/masturbating? If so, why?

    I mean, I used to feel it when I was a kid in a religious household, but after that…

      Oh, I was talking about eating those massive carb towers with sugar from the link.

      I suppose it depends on the kind of porn you’re into. Some things are more socially acceptable than others and levels of shame varies. Even among secular society certain things carry a burden of shame, even if they are just kinky stuff done in private by two consenting adults.

        Well, fair, I get that about food. It is negative for your health when consumed in excess after all.

        As for the porn, well, I guess that makes sense, even if I’m still very much like “if it doesn’t hurt anybody, why feel shame? Even if people consider it weird? They don’t need to know.”
