I agree with the general sentiment but honestly this is just the worst kind of article. It’s superficial and yet also felt emotionally exploitative
Sorry but I guess I’m annoyed because I spent a lot of time working through this specific topic recently and had to wrestle with very some interesting questions:
What is real and what is fake? Why did we create these fantasies and what draws us to them? How much of our culture is fantasy? What if the fake is more “real” than the real? What does that imply for the future? How does pornography hold up a mirror that reflects us? Why is America so scared of reality?
But instead all the article gives us is: porn kills intimacy and reinforces gender roles, plus some weird obsession with facials.
