? Once upon a time, escalation for most young guys just meant turning the next page to see a different nude woman.
? And once they were done with that magazine, they would find another one in their dad's closet, or maybe trade with a friend.
? But most magazines that were in circulation were more or less vanilla porn, and the only "novelty" we got were different women. Different poses, different backgrounds, etc.
...But eventually, once you've seen one, you've seen them all.
*Enter the digital age*
Gone are the days of one-dimensional novelty.
So I think most of us here have similar stories. We started out like our fathers and grandfathers before us. But escalated to all kinds of genres and sub-genres imaginable (and unimaginable).
From what I've read, it seems like most guys took years to escalate to these very hardcore genres, or develop these very specific fetishes. If you started watching in your early teens, it's not until the late teens or 20's that most guys escalate to the point of seriously questioning their sexuality.
I know I'm painting with a broad brush. I'm only describing the majority of testimonies I've read.
My question is simple - how fast did you escalate? To the point where you developed unwanted fetishes?
As for me - I started watching at age 12 - I had hit puberty only 6 months or so prior. It only took me a matter of weeks to go from vanilla porn to graphic sex scenes, orgies, ganagbangs, and gay porn. I know it sounds like the making of a psychopath serial killer or something. Why did I escalate so fast? As opposed to others who escalate over a long period of time?
My theory is that the speed of escalation corresponds to the magnitude of the emotional void the addict is trying to fill.
For those who already have most of their emotional needs met, porn could start out as a mild vice. And gradually chip away at their values as they slowly gravitate towards porn at the expense of pursuing real relationships.
I had this bottomless pit that I was trying fill with porn. A whole childhood defined by rejection and ostracism being the cause.
I don't believe I've heard from anyone else who escalated as fast as I did (who didn't turn out to be serial rapists).
Please tell me about your escalation stories. I want to hear from you.
