Porn As Junk Food
Don't jump to any conclusions right off. Just because I am using "porn" and "junk food" in the same sentence doesn't mean I am saying you shouldn't have any.
Life is no fun without a little junk food, right?
It's fun, it's tasty, it's a rush, it is an indulgence, it reminds us of our childhood, it is comforting.
But you have to watch out for too much, because then you get sluggish, low-energy, overweight, depressed, and other serious diseases. A good rule for food is 90% of the time eat healthy, whole, nutritious food that makes you healthy, happy, energized and ready for life. 10% of the time is for whatever junk food does it for you.
The same goes for porn.
Porn is like junk food. A little here and there is fun, tasty, a rush, an indulgence, reminds you of your childhood, is comforting.
Porn can be hot. Porn can be fun, I am not suggesting you should have NO PORN.
I just want to draw some attention to some side-effects from over-saturation of porn.
Too much porn is numbing, de-sensitizing, it limits the depth of sensuality that is possible to have with another human being, and quite honestly, narrows your capacity as a great lover.
I suggest that you consider porn to be junk food, not your mainstay of sensual and sexual sustenance and nourishment.
Not easy. Porn is hurled at you from every corner. This over-saturation of porn perpetuates your oppression.
What do I mean by that, exactly?
When you hear the word "oppression" you probably think of oppression of women, or of a particular race or religion, but I invite you to also consider oppression of men, which is just as powerful and pervasive.
One of the main ways men are oppressed is around sex.
Most men I have asked said they first learned about or encountered sex from pornography. Porn is where you get your schooling around sex and sensuality. It is what you were weaned on, and that is the steady diet incessantly tossed your way for your whole lifetime.
Yes, there is porn made for and by women, but in general, porn is consumed by and created for men.
So, porn is where you get your information on what is sexy, what is sensual, what a sexy body should look like, what gets a person off.
Which is all often far from a real life encounter with a real live partner.
Eating junk food all the time can't create a healthy, vital being. Likewise, a steady diet of porn also cannot create a healthy, vital, integrated sensual, aware man.
You don't have to give it up, just consider whittling it down to 10%, as a delicious indulgence. And consider devoting some of your energy to sex and sensuality in the real world.
