Something I don't think Rollo acknowledges in this article is that a lot of guys seek out yourbrainonporn as a part of their efforts to improve their SMV. It's one thing to argue that monopolizing the conversation around the male consumption of internet pornography is a useful way for feminists to micromanage male sexual behavior, but it's entirely another to imply that porn addiction does not exist.

Rollo argued in The Rational Male that masturbation to porn was a buffer to having to deal with rejection from women in real life, yet argues here that such behavior should not be pathologized since it represents a normal expression of male sexuality. An attempt to reconcile these seemingly conflicting claims may lead one to believe that the normal expression of male sexuality (in the context of getting off to porn) is itself the problem that's keeping men from being sexually successful with real women by giving them their reward without first having to jump through the hoops of game and DHV, but that this behavior shouldn't be lambasted for hindering men in their efforts to achieve sexual success with something other than their hand. These conflicting claims instead strike me as doublespeak, since Rollo seems to be both identifying masturbation to porn as a problematic behavior to be discarded if a man is to improve his chances with women, yet also a perfectly normal thing to do. If you're there Rollo, I'd appreciate it if you clarified this discrepancy, for I am confused.

What he misses in this article is that this behavior becomes a problem when a man would rather rot in his apartment browsing xhamsters instead of going out with his buds to a bar on a Friday night to meet women, when his compulsive masturbation and porn viewing leave him so desensitized to female sexuality that he can't get erect during foreplay or climax during sex.

Again, I believe the central argument of the article is valid, but goes off the deep end when entertaining the idea that even the concept of porn addiction is simply a social mechanism that's being used by a feminine-centric culture to control men. Rollo doesn't even care to do justice to guys like myself who have an extensive history of struggling with porn addiction by mentioning that porn use really does sometimes damage a man's sexual response, and blows over the fact that guys who self-identify as having issues with porn and seek out sites like yourbrainonporn have done so because they're convinced that their porn consumption habits are to blame for their impotence, not because they're placating to the solipsistic female manipulations of male sexual behavior via FI-sculpted social conventions.

tl;dr: addiction is not a social construct, and this extends to the realm of the effects of pornography on the brain.
