 I have read quite a bit of the thread. I don't think I agree with you but I cannot make my decision because a lot of comments are like "it's bad" without saying *what* is actually bad. I do not think your profile pic is in that category. But that was just someone's cheap counter anyways.
I am curious: in what way do you think about/perceive this brain rot? 
 i appreciate your note anon. i just believe that it changes in which your brain perceives love and sex in real. it rots the idea that sex is an act of love. 

this is just my personal opinion of course 
 I am asking because whenever I see discussions like this, they seem to remain superficial. For example, one has seen many naked bodies. No s.o. will be competing with (the best of) all at once. I have read articles saying that after a certain number of naked men/women, the brain starts to generalize. You look at it differently. However, our ancestors and currently still certain indiginous tribes, are very scantily clad. What if, it means that the brain starts to deprioritize the superficial (often fake, suggested by TV) beauty and instead starts looking for deeper signs like emotional attachment, characteristics, etc. Because those are far less accessible, but also far deeper and more meaningful.

I wonder how many times the "obvious culprit" gets faulted for a failing relationship instead of the many other problems that can occur or grow between people.

So, that's why my question about brain rot. I would be curious as to any other variants. (In part because there seems to be a lot of prejudice and one-sided attacks.)
