modern pornography
pornography is such a tricky subject matter to tackle. I think there are some positives to it. i think it is possible to have a healthy relationship with it. but iām not sure if its possible to consume it without the coexistence of sexual abuse, addiction and misogyny.
in moderation, i think some porn could be okay. its the excessive consumption that desensitises us, making us need something more extreme to get sexual gratification. if we arenāt careful, we could find ourselves feeling pleasure from observing abuse.Ā
you might think thatās alright because the porn scenario is only make believe. that they are paid actors doing it consensually. but does being aroused by that scenario not concern you? ...why do we brush off these disturbing fantasies that otherwise would be considered abuse in real life to be socially acceptableĀ kinks or fetishes? how can we be so sure that it wonāt escalate?Ā
is it only so long before watching it on your screen doesnāt arouse you like it used to? When you reach the absolute extreme and it no longer provides you sexual gratification, is the next stage performing these violent sexual acts onto others yourself?Ā
I wish i was only being dramatic but iāve seen countless reports from serial killers and sex offenders who believe their porn addiction had a huge influence on their crimes i.e. Ted Bundy. I do not say this to excuse their actions, Iāve mentioned this because the connection between porn and sex crimes is undeniable in my eyes.Ā
