Masturbation and porn are not proper substitutes to sex
Yes they are, unless you have sexual hangups, like most Anglo-Saxons.
I though I had finally demonstrated to you in the other thread that sex is more than just blowing your load
The thread is about sex tourism, as in whores and brothels, and why feminists oppose it, in case you didn't notice. Sex tourism is mostly about blowing your load, not deeper relationships. Giving money to a woman with whom you have a relationship is not really sex tourism as most people understand that term.
Also, in case it isn't obvious, I didn't say masturbation is equivalent to partner sex, anymore than gruel is equivalent to gourmet dining. But in both cases, the cheap substitute is just that: a viable substitute for cases where the alternative is priced too high. Which gets back to the argument of WHY feminists and other naysayers oppose sex tourism. If it were because women fear losing sexual power over men, then feminists would oppose anything that threatens that power, including masturbation and homosexuality, both of which pose a much bigger threat to women's power than sex tourism. But in fact, feminists are quiet about masturbation and homosexuality (though they do squawk about heterosexual porn, though not homosexual or lesbian porn). So loss of sexual power is NOT the reason feminists oppose sex tourism.
