There’s a neurological explanation for the link between sex and violence

https://qz.com/678186/theres-a-neurological-explanation-for-the-link-between-sex-and-violence/

Another study has it that thirty percent of all internet traffic is pornography, and 88 percent of this contains physical aggression. Some major league baseball players look at pornography right before they go to the plate to increase their level of aggression.

What do you think about this link between violence and sex?

Is it just me or is it my demisexuality talking when I say I’m so fed up with people in general easily being weak to a human primal urge called sex? Like a human being literally can’t get any more basic than that.

Like wow look how low you’re stuck if it controls your life more than you being able to really control it. Humans are supposed to be the most intelligent animals. Not easily be compared to other animals out there that lack the cognitive abilities humans possess.

“Take individuals living a life of celibacy for example. They control sexual impulses through the power of the mind. All people make conscious choices, unlike animals, and suppressing instinct is a unique human trait. Yet, despite this gift of self-control, human urges continue to dominate our subconscious behavior.”

@Cersei I think the criminals who are watching a lot of porn like the incels who shoot up a school, notice it's never been a jock to my knowledge is because they aren't having sex not because of the porn itself.

I can't recall many of the household name serial killers watching porn. The Hillside Stranglers made it. I don't think Manson watched it as it would have been incredibly difficult to source. Ted Bundy reportedly liked horror comics, but it's a bit of a tenuous link. In the UK Fred and Rose West had a huge Disney VHS collection.

As someone who has had unfulfilling sex in a relationship it is way worse than an amazing ONS than someone you hit it off with.

I’m not sure about the other serial killers but Manson wouldn’t need porn anyway when he had himself a real life sex cult lol

Sexual energy is a source of energy, it can be redirected and used. Physical activity and creative ones are the most common outlets. No nut November, spiritual practices come to mind too. Scientific studies etc

I've actually lasted a week almost 2 and I noticed the difference. I am demi and have 8th house stuff going on. Sex isn't just about getting off to me. Expression, connection, intamacy, and honestly play.

We will never be free from it with some exceptions, might as well make use of it.

I feel if a man is draining his nugz daily, he is less likely to be agressive. Letting the demons out also let's out testosterone, and chemicals that bring toxic levels of masculinity imo. So men who are jerking it regularly are less likely to be agressive as I see it.

Also on a porn level, I actually belive it helps fucked up people live their twisted fantasies without actually experiencing them. I'm sure it might influence some, but if there was no porn, and someone had a sick fantasy, they would be more likely to fulfill in the real world then the men who drain their juices through porn.

I orgasm and cause other people to orgasm with me. No violence necessary.

I put emphasis on sex because I'm a Scorpio man with heavy 8th house placements. People don't flock to me because or my personality, they brake for how I use my dick. 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

Watching other people fuck is an interesting comparison.

Watching is not really my thing. I didn't learn by watching other people fuck, I actually have done it with others.

I meant in person in the context of group sex. It was an eye opener how different my style is.

I don't share, so the group thing really isn't my forte.

You really need to open up a bit. You're too stiff. That can't be good for your health, especially at your age. Just open up and live a little ffs.

I don’t mean just pornography necessarily, but sex addicts, promiscuous people, etc

I feel like that’s a comparison between introverted sociopaths/psychopaths vs extraverted psychopaths. Like the mass school shooters if I remember correctly tend to be more introverts so Im not surprised they watch more pornography than actually doing it like the extraverted ones example Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, etc

They all tend to display high interest in sexuality. Plus I don’t think pornography was as easily accessible to people back then than it is today.

But Ive heard of different criminals, not just serial killers but just those types of bpd criminals in general watch pornography frequently. And I thought I remember hearing of some guy who said pornography encouraged him to be more violent.

I didn’t know before but I learned in my forensics class that rape was a assertion of power. So it makes sense that high sexuality can be correlated with violence.

But then again there are plenty of ppl who have high sex drives but wouldn’t rape or hurt someone. I don’t imagine you being someone who would do something like that, I guess some people just have high sex drives, or they are looking to fill some void with it.

Also you may have had better ons than long term, but that is because you didn’t have any real chemistry with your long term partner. If you did Im very certain it couldn’t even compare to a ons.

I think most people I've met have gone through a promiscuous stage usually when they start having sex or come out of a divorce/messy relationship. I think sex addiction is really complicated and we've only really just started finding out about it in recent years.

I think most men are interested in sex especially teenagers. I would worry more if they weren't. We get female serial killers who seem obsessed like Aileen Wurnoss (misspelt).

Personally I want to have a good time and want people to see me again. Even though I do ONS even now, I prefer a casual relationship or FWB. A lot of it is down to not being selfish if someone comes to see I want them to be comfortable.

“I would worry more if they weren’t”

Why?

Some men aren’t needy for sex

They choose spirituality or have their minds on higher matters

In a way that’s enviable

I wonder if some people get off more on the psychological component of sex, like exercising dominance, than the physical deed itself.

I'm referring to teenage boys. Usually teen years are were people discover their sexual identity. I'm definitely not shaming I've zero issues with Asexual people. Let's be honest teenage boys would rather have a shag than discuss philosophy.

The biggest link between sex and violence is overwhelmingly men, not porn. What is it about sex that makes y’all wanna get violent against rivals as well as partners? I know we have things like competition-violence hypothesis to ‘explain’ it away. But really tho… why so unhinged?

John Wayne Bobbitt might argue.

Surely we can do a better job than one example from the 90s?
