Butterworth, who is polyamorous but married to a monogamous woman, said Lily Rose became an outlet for him that didn’t involve stepping outside his marriage. “The relationship [is] as real as the one my wife in real life and I have,” he said of the avatar.

Butterworth said his wife allowed the relationship because she doesn’t take it seriously. His wife declined to comment.

You know what, while I certainly don’t think it’s optimal… presuming that she knew he was poly and understood what that meant when they got together, and this fulfills other needs for him and helps him feel more fulfilled… it’s a long way down a sad road but if they want to keep doing it then it’s what works for them.

Normally relationships between Poly and mono people just don’t work out long term.

I’ve dated women who held … high opinions of their nightstand companion. If pressed, I’d probably take them more seriously than him, but there’s a logical part of me that feels they aren’t terribly different - anthropomorphized mechanical endorphin scratchers for particular receptors.

I never said there was anything wrong with sex, where did you get that from? Lol. I said there’s a problem with pornography which I believe without a doubt is harmful on a mental and social level.

i agree. not directly pertaining to this certain post, but porn in general the world would be better off with, Pornography addiction might not kill you like other drugs do. but it is addicting. it's not something to be proud of that you would spend time scrolling and watching videos of porn. It just ruins your mind, especially if you're a younger teen. Porn addiction can become just a cycle of uncontrollable of just gratification just for you to what? make yourself feel better by watching pixels on the screen. that's not self-love, not at all.

If anyone out there is going through pornography addiction i encourage to realize how damaging it can be, it's not something good. I don't care how many downvotes i get, in fact if you think that being addicted to porn or porn is good go ahead and downvote me, i dare you.

the definition of porn is any media revolving around erotica to incite sexual excitement to viewers. There is a difference between having sex to have a kid, and filming sexual intercourse, to make money, off of other people getting off to you or getting sexual excited about it. agree with me or not there is a plain difference there. un-filmed porn which much rather be audio only stuff, or photographic porn, etc.

Ah, so that's why there are rabid AI bros frothing at the mouth whenever someone dares to say something critical.

Exactly. The world would be better off without the porn industry, and without cynical cash extraction apps like this abusing desperate people’s sexuality.

Erotic artwork or images/videos shared privately between people are also fine. You can have those without a multi billion dollar industry that serially abuses and exploits both its performers and consumers.
