I was about to go to bed, but was feeling kind of low because I'd rather have been going to bed with this new guy I've been seeing. I've resolved to take things slowly when I start new dating relationships and I'd just spent the weekend with him, so it was time for a night alone ... seemed like a good time to watch a chick flick and paint my gnarly toe-nails. Maybe powder my vagina or whatever chicks do in this situation.
So I was daftly trying to push a tear-jerking Netflix disc into my computer's DVD when I realized there was still a disc in my computer. I ejected it and my poor li'l heart broke as Simon Wolf's Amateur Hour came out into my hand.
Just last week the guy I've been seeing and I had made our way to the sex shop and mutually picked out a movie. It was such a fun process. Once we got back to his place it was really difficult not to run to his bedroom and put the flick into my laptop. Still, we waited a bit and the anticipation made it even more fun.
After our evening, I began to reflect on my relationship with porn. That's where the topic of this week's video came from. I can't do too much about how I've reacted to porn in the past. It was part of how I viewed sex, and how I viewed myself. What I can do with it, and what I learned from it, is try to share and shed some light.
I hear from a lot of women who think pornography is degrading and disgusting, but those same women claim to enjoy sex and sexuality. I wonder where it all comes from. I am not one to make ignorant blanket statements, but what I can do is figure out what I was so worked up about and face it. Not everyone will like porn, and that's fine. It's not mandatory. But it is okay if you do like it, and it is mandatory that, should someone else like it, you don't treat them like puppy kickers because of it.
What about you? Do you like porn? Honestly? Or do you hate it? Or does it just do nothing for you? I'm curious to know what you learned, too.
