Choose a Girl

And then you can go home and pretend it never happened. Dre will offer to smoke with you, Johnathan will offer you a drink, before you know it, they’ve got cameras out and they’re recording you. Going to art school, I began to model for a lot of fellow students and friends.

We Have to Show Up Online to Reach the Next Generation

There’s beginning to be a glimmer of possibility as boomer leadership slowly fades away, the possibility of institutional revolution, and young people are hungry for influence. Even if any one particular personality platform or movement dissolves, the future of the visible church will be hashed out in private group chats and comment sections long before it becomes official policy at a presbytery or synod. Thirdly, internet circles develop a complex ecosystem of influential personalities who can become well-regarded within their niche for their contributions— or notorious for their failings, as the case may be. But there’s no official way to totally ban a voice unless you own the platform or run the server. Rarely can you successfully excommunicate somebody; instead, you can only try to discredit and devalue their profile. You can get followers by having a podcast, or creating art, or telling a life story that goes viral, or just by being funny.

• But I don’t see people talking about how deeply these habits will shape the culture of 21st century church institutions.
• Internet culture structures group devotion in essentially the same way, no matter what the subject matter.
• Some findings also suggest that Internet pornography consumption might represent a defense mechanism against excessive stress, which enables to cope with stressful events, helps in mood regulation, and decreases depression and anxiety.
• In addition, Armenia has recently grappled with the arrival of over 100,000 displaced Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2023, posing a significant challenge for the nation.
• Several findings also show that some individuals may use pornography and other forms of sexual stimulation with the purpose of distracting their attention from emotional and contextual stressors (Bőthe et al., 2020, 2021).

In addition, the connection between religiosity and a culture emphasizing sexual purity can exacerbate this negative influence, including feelings of great guilt (Grubbs et al., 2015). These findings suggest a relationship between perceived addiction to Internet pornography and psychological suffering related to a moral conflict and incongruency due to guilty feelings (regardless of an individual’s religiosity) (Bradley et al., 2016; O’Sullivan et al., 2014). Some of the most influential media fandoms online over the course of my youth (and during the general mainstreaming of fandom culture in the 2010s) have been Harry Potter, Pokémon, Minecraft, Five Nights at Freddie’s, Star Wars, Marvel, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Homestuck, as well as K-pop and anime fandoms without number. But we can of course see how the weird dynamics of online fan fervor in these media-oriented communities carry over into internet communities based around any other topic under the sun, including those that grow up around the profiles of internet influencers. Sometimes I think it would be best to call these ‘influencers’ fishers of men, casting wide nets and bringing in all the nations to hear their voice. Before you shrug all this off, consider that fandom culture is what mainlined wokeness into the bloodstream of our society.

But soon after the incident, she was harassed at work—Jane Doe 7’s video had been posted online. While she only looked at it on one website, others told Doe the video was now all over the Internet. I was blackmailed into staying in an abusive relationship because my ex threatened to send the link to my family and siblings if I ever left him.

I just wish there had been someone there to enculturate them into a good life instead. Secondly, fandoms, and the vast nebulae of communities and platforms that they appear in, disseminate niche information and trivia very effectively, since they are run by enthusiastic nerds. On the fringes, this means that it’s easier for small scrappy teams of friends to gather intelligence on the periphery, wage information warfare, disseminate detailed agitprop, etc. But this universalizing interconnectivity in the mainstream means that the average internet community can be moderated and thought policed a lot more than you would think, especially by the standards of comfort enforced by women, and so many such communities quickly homogenize their values around progressive and egalitarian stances. Alastair Roberts has written about this at length.

Prause and Pfaus suggested that “erectile problems may occur when real-life sexual stimulation does not match the broad content [accessible online]” (Prause and Pfaus, 2015). Human and animal studies also indicate that when expectations are not met (due to a negative prediction error), then such a “disappointing event” may cause that as a response certain activities in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system are inhibited (Bayer and Glimcher, 2005; Hart et al., 2014; Mauer-Vakil and Bahji, 2020; McClure et al., 2003; Sunsay and Rebec, 2014). For example, Snapchat became very popular social network for “sexting” as the most usual way of sharing sexually explicit materials (Goodwin et al., 2015; Handyside and Ringrose, 2017; Park et al., 2016). A 2017 study using a representative sample of Australians researched distress about sex video use.[57] It found that of 10,131 women surveyed, 0.5% of women agreed with the statement that they were “addicted” to pornography; 1.2% (of 4,218 who viewed) when limited to women who say they viewed sex films. The comparable figure limiting to men who view sex films was 4.4%.

• This is simply what casual posting and social signaling looks like when you’re in an internet community.
• Compulsive sexual behavior has been treated with antidepressants including SSRIs and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, Naltrexone (a medication used to inhibit reward mechanisms in opiate or alcohol addictions), other mood-stabilizers, and anti-androgens.
• You’re all alone, surrounded by people you don’t know, and you only have one choice.
• Additionally, the country faces substantial uncertainty arising from geopolitical circumstances.
• Other findings indicate that men who manifest hypersexuality have also been found to be more depressed and anxious, and prone to substance abuse (Bancroft et al., 2003; Schachner and Shaver, 2004).

They email you plane tickets and hotel reservations worth over a $1000, and then they get you excited to be in California (I’d never been) and to be on the beach, and go shopping, and you don’t even stop to think that maybe this isn’t just a modeling gig after all. He’ll convince you that no one will ever see it, it’s for Australia/foreign markets only, it’s only released on DVDs, etc. I knew nothing about the industry before this, how was I to know I was being naive? If you refuse, they tell you you’ll have to reimburse them for the flight/hotels.

Banca et al. also found that, compared with healthy controls, compulsive Internet pornography users had enhanced preference for conditioned cues (abstract patterns) related to sexual images (Banca et al., 2016). This finding suggests that Internet pornography users can become “sensitized to cues” that are unrelated to sexual content and produce associations that can be extremely challenging to extinguish (Banca et al., 2016). These impairments of sexual arousal and erectile difficulties in intimate relationships but not with sexually explicit materials suggest that the enhanced desire scores were specific to the explicit cues and not generalized heightened sexual desire (Voon et al., 2014, p 5). As related to pornography, the physical perfectionism may implicate increased prevalence of narcissistic tendencies and personality disorders in population with later consequences in individual ontogenesis, when this artificial body perfectionism will be lost. Further research indicates that the repeated exposure to these artificial sexually arousing stimuli disturbs normal sensory signal processing at the medial preoptic area, which is the hub of the telodiencephalic reproductive complex (Kim et al., 2013).

Recent research focused on pornography addiction indicates that the gradual increase of Internet availability, as well as anonymity and privacy of its using, significantly increased pornography consumption mainly in male population (Burtăverde et al., 2021; Griffiths, 2012; Mauer-Vakil and Bahji, 2020; Pizzol et al., 2016; Price et al., 2016; Ross et al., 2012; Wright, 2013). This increased Internet availability also plays a significant role in the process of losing self-control, which increases the risk of misusing Internet pornography and related addictive behavior (Block, 2008; Daneback et al., 2006, 2012; Ross et al., 2012). For example, recent findings indicate that three of five respondents included in a selected research sample have a problem with Internet pornography addiction (Ross et al., 2012), and it is most prevalent in men who live alone or with their parents (Cooper et al., 2000; Mauer-Vakil and Bahji, 2020; Price et al., 2016; Ross et al., 2012; Wright, 2013). In addition, recent findings show that Internet pornography consumption is highest in young adult men (Leiblum, 1997; Price et al., 2016; O’Sullivan et al., 2014; Shapiro, 2005; Štulhofer et al., 2016; Wright, 2013).
