Some Nerdy Guys Turn to Porn: Gaming All Day, Real Connections Missing? 🎮💬

Let’s talk about something we don’t often address—why some nerdy guys who game all day might turn to porn. While gaming can be fun and immersive, it can sometimes replace real-life connections and leave a void when it comes to intimacy and emotional fulfillment. Here’s why this happens:

1. Escaping Reality: Gaming is often a way to escape from the pressures of the real world. But for some, spending too much time in a virtual reality means they miss out on building real, meaningful connections in their personal lives.

2. Lack of Social Skills: Gaming all day can reduce the opportunities to develop strong social skills or the confidence needed to engage in real-world relationships. This isolation can lead to turning to porn as a substitute for intimacy or connection.

3. Instant Gratification: Porn offers a quick fix of instant gratification without the complexities of real relationships. But over time, this can affect emotional growth and create unhealthy habits that make it even harder to connect with others.

4. Breaking the Cycle: The good news? It’s possible to break this cycle by finding balance. Gaming can be fun, but building real connections, developing social skills, and pursuing healthy relationships can bring a much deeper sense of fulfillment and joy.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in this cycle, you’re not alone. It’s all about taking small steps toward finding balance between the digital world and real-life connections.

I'm tech and never was porn addict. It's not always true.

[richardcooke]

This is a stereotype. I am an IT professional and Star Trek Nerd. I do not watch porn, I date women, I run 6 miles a day, tennis, travel. I am into history, music, play guitar and sing. I am well read in history, psychology, and relationships. I am outgoing, have given talks in front of large audiences and am not shy. Yes I am a master chess player, but it does not define me.

[nancydang]

So true! I live in Seattle, it’s crawling with awkward tech guys who never dated during high school or college. They would prefer to hide behind a screen or device than approach a woman irl.

[kevinkwiek]

Might be. Only sith speak in absolutes.

I've been a nerd my whole life but still got alot of attention from the girls and besides some of the girls i was with recommended porn to share their fetishes and fantasies telling me about how they wanted to be treated in bed and they loved it
Porn only becomes addiction when you prioritize it over real relationships or it becomes a part of routine most of the people today feel lonely and when it hurts they turn to porn and other addictions not every guy is lucky to get a girls attention and that's the sad reality of the world because

my friend was a porn addict because no matter how he hard tried he couldn't get a girl to love him came from a middle class family average looking guy but he has a good heart
When i asked him why prefer porn over real relationships he said i do it because i tried to get into a relationship but i was rejected by her family because of my looks and girls don't look at me the way they look at you he said and listening to that made me sad
Trust me people not everybody out there is seeking easy pleasure over difficulties of relationship some people actually tried but failed miserably
I would have lost a good friend if hadn't asked him and listened to him

This sounds like a wild guess, assuming nerds are on computers more, or they get a lack of attention from ladies there for must be doing naughty stuff on computes/phones. This may have been true before everyone had smart phones and computers, but not now. I would bet statically it would be the guys that fancy themselves alphas ( not that alpha males are a real thing ) that are most likely to be addicts in that area.

An individual who has no basis for her thinking, worst she goes on about being a muslim but nothing of her views are actually based on Islam, let alone she is not practising so I would recommend all just take whatever she says with a pinch of salt...

[chopzyfishy]

This girl used to make really insightful, great videos on relationships. Now it’s just very broad statements missing all nuance. Forgetting the girls she influence’s aren’t exactly known for critical thinking, hence why they need her in the first place.

Looking at the most top comment from the tech guy I was going to speak on that. Well not so much tech guys but "nerdy" guys. Growing up we've all looked at nerds as people who don't get a lot of dates, insecure, and passive people who get pushed around. And these days they also are the ones suspected of being porn addicts and the type to give away their money to women online.

Looking at some of these videos of this woman I'm getting a sense this all based on stereotypes that have been created for certain people but not necessarily facts. As the old saying goes you can't judge a book by its cover. How people may appear may not be the person they are on the inside. Each individual has their own unique personality and way of thinking.

People aren't so black and white as to where it is ever that simple to where "If you're like that that means you do this."

It's just like her nice guy video where she claims if a guy is nice that means there is particular reason behind it in a negative light. Based on what she said a guy can't just be a genuinely nice person because of their upbringing or personality.

[theteamleader]

And she's addicted to filters and makeup 😂

[oscarcuzmar]

they need the Love of Christ Jesus and to have their identity in him & their desires will change and feel nurtured by his wife being us the Church. I apologize if I am challenging your belief systems.

[thetruther]

Women. They'll say anything to get you hooked. It's your problem they are after.

[brittneymisner]

I can attest to this, the reason my last relationship failed. Due to porn addiction.

[HOTSPURTAKES]

Not everyone.
And not everyone wanna be in toxic relationships these days. Some are just living a cool normal life.

[leojohn]

I’m in tech and i stopped watching that at around 20. In 30 now and guess what. Not married.

[rafaprost]

Is she really a therapist? If yes then who wants to be her patient? Now someone who has seen a nerdy friend going out of her office will tell everyone "listen, he watches porn". That's so irresponsible.

And the next thing is that it's so stereotypical that it starts to be suspicious

[michaelregan]

Calling them "porn addicts, " is quite a bold statement. Generalizations can be dangerous...you really miss out if you think that way.

[danielhausbeck]

I fit the stereo type. But I won’t worship women. But I’ll treat women with a healthy level of respect.

[hypefalnid]

leave us nerdy tech guys alone! we aren't all addicted to porn!

[MoonlightScale-vmto]

They say that kind of stuff is why internet exists, so maybe they do... But tech has been available to masses for a long time and many people have grown up with tech.

I'd say old fashioned stereotypical tech nerds aren't that common even amongst nerds. Many tech guys were sporty and popular or just average social people who chose a direction based on their interest.
