"My husband's a survivor, and I never...Oh, exactly. <BR/><BR/>"My husband's a survivor, and I never bothered to make sure he had the support he needed with that, and then oh no the porn!"<BR/><BR/>And then of course there's the whole bisexual thing. "He'll leave me for a guy!" Funny, dykes think that of women too, it seems. All hail the irresistible PEEEEEEEEEEEEN!<BR/><BR/>And honestly this bugged me: "But I disliked his magazines; they had pictures of large-breasted women and sometimes bisexual themes."<BR/><BR/>It's as if he would have been just fine if he didn't like big breasts or men. Oh, honey, if I could only control your desires and you only looked at what I want you to, this would be fine!<BR/><BR/>Um.<BR/><BR/>Gah.<BR/><BR/>and, well<BR/><BR/>"I ran back into the house to get something — and saw him in a trance with his hand around his penis."<BR/><BR/>okay, if there really is such a thing as Sex Addiction (rather than as sexual issues, sex or masturbation to drown sorrows, etc.) maybe the "high" does cause trances. But there's something about the way this is phrased -- masturbation as trancelike, bewitching -- that makes me nervous.<BR/><BR/>I guess because so much of the anti-porn theory ties into masturbation as Pavlovian programming, and I really don't think it is. It's never been so far me, and I doubt it ever has for male lovers either.<BR/><BR/>I can easily see it being used to drown sorrow, but I can't see it inducing "trances" in quite that sense.Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846032433424879965noreply@blogger.com
