writes:I've read that watching porn can cause all kinds of problems, even impotence in young guys. I don't want to get a warped or perverted view of sex, as I was brought up traditional. However this also means that for me having real sex is not an option for the foreseeable future. D:So recenctly I went totally retro and bought some magazines off ebay. There's some european ones that are somewhat tasteful yet still show everything.Once or twice a week, I stare at them and have a big release. Is this a good compromise? Is it morally ok to do, or will it still cause mental problems later on?P.S. girls online told me keeping magazines seemed weirder and grosser than watching hardcore videos. Why do girls think this way? I thought a mag was not bad since its just depicting the human body in its most natural state.

 Hi there,
I do not think that your magazines are "weirder and grosser" than watching hardcore porn. Not by a longshot. And I really don't think you'll get any mental health issues from doing what people have been doing since the invention of the printed press - looking at pictures of sexy people and masturbating.
You'll know if it has become a problem if actual women have lost their appeal, if you've begun to obsess with the magazines and start staring at them twice a day, or if your standards for what a woman should look like and do has been shifting.
Just having a visual aid, I don't think it's a problem at all. Perfectly normal. And masturbation is a very healthy thing for you to do. No worries, sweet!

 Are magazines weirder? I definitely do NOT think hard core porn videos are LESS weird, gross or nasty.
To me porn is porn. Whether it's printed or streamed on a website. I don't think porn mags are "just depicting the human body in its most natural state" as you put it. There are without doubt some editing going on, some airbrushing and photoshopping. Maybe a little less since your mags are "vintage"... doesn't mean it's any more "natural". Usually I'd presume that "vintage" European porn is a LOT "tamer" than anything you can see online.
If you don't personally have a problem with your mags, then enjoy them, and keep them to yourself. You don't need girls online's approval for what excites you to look at.

 No I personally don't think it will cause mental problems later on in life. The thing is you are not ready for sex at the moment because of your culture and it is perfectly normal to masturbate. I highly doubt it will ruin your real sex life when you are ready.
