Lately I’ve been hearing a lot about people trying to censor porn so I decided to write some of my thoughts on the matter.
Let me start by saying that as someone highly exposed to porn on my teenage I think porn is a lie (but a fun one). When I was about fourteen, maybe earlier we got internet at home, I’m talking 90s here and man do I discovered porn. So I’ve seen porn, lots of it, every trend from teens and MILFs to boundage and gang bangs. I’ve seen porn and I’m fully aware that it’s a lie, what I mean is that porn is a distorted view of what real sex is. Sure, we all (I hope) have had those memorable sex moments when we felt like porn stars, but thats not all the time. Theres so much more to sex than just coming on someone’s face. Sex is by far the most primal expression of life, when I’m in bed with my significant other the world stops, the air changes, it’s at the same time so intimate but so exhibisionst, you put on a show for the other person and you make her/he feel like you belong to each other. And I’m not even talking about making love here, thats another thing, but real good sex is meant to be quite an experience, at least for me.
Now as a thirty year old porn feels like a child-like view of what sex is. Don’t misunderstand me, I like it dirty too but that same choreographed routine of blow job→sex→anal→cumshot is starting to feel a bit old for me.
Having said that I must recognize that porn can be a great way to entertain yourself, get inspiration for your sex life or even have something dirty to share with your significant other and fantasise on. I’m not against porn, hell I’m in favor as I’m in favor of all kinds of entertainment and pleasures as long as they don’t hurt others. I really think that porn is a lot like movies and TV shows, there’s a lot of crap but a few great pieces of work that make the whole industry worth a while. And I also really admire some porn stars, some of them really enjoy their work and they’re very good at it, they’re great performers and entertainers. Porn is also a very big and important industry, lots of people work on it and almost every single person on the planet have consumed it at some point in their lives.
So why are we hearing all this porn censor nonsense? I hear Britain is censoring internet porn (really Britain you? I admired you), and Yahoo is hidding search results for porn on Tumblr, and California is making porn actors wear a condom (really? like they’re having vanilla sex). Only explanation for all this is that old people finally learned how to use the internet and discovered it is 80% porn.
Censorship is stupid, all forms of it, even “opt in”. There’s so much more problems in the world to solve and some people are trying to dictate how others jerk off. As always censorship and prohibition only create black markets, places without regulations, so don’t be surprised if a lot of child porn starts to surface like in the 90s now that porn censor is a thing.
Don’t get addicted to porn but have a peek now and then, maybe with your partner, get a little kinky.
