I bet your cherry’s popped.

You’ve watched it at least once in your life. Most likely alone. Maybe with your friends.

Maybe even with your partner. If you swing like that.

It’s controversial, to say the least. Fuck me! 

It can be educational and it can be extreme. It can be degrading or empowering, depending on who you ask and how it’s created.

Some enjoy it. Some despise it. Some are addicted to it. More, more! Harder, harder!

It’s a fuck buddy and a fluffer, a guide and a last resort. It used to be taboo. Now it’s all over the place.

Right in your face.

Apparently, it causes men to have unrealistic views on sex and intimacy. Women, too. But in a different way.

I’d be a liar if I said I haven’t watched it. Still do from time to time. (TMI: sorry to my family reading this.)

I’d rather not. Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop! 

Because it makes me feel undisciplined and empty—that willingness to give into temptation, being satisfied with a quickie.

Only, it’s not that kind of quickie and it’s not satisfying. Not beyond the pop off. Fuck, yes!

Then you’re drained, literally.

Your energy plummets, your motivation vanishes. You feel guilty for giving in, especially if you’re in a relationship. (Why watch it when you can do it, amirite?)

You feel hollow because there’s no connection. You enjoy the show, maybe have fantasies about recreating a scene with someone special.

But it’s not real.

It’s just you and the screen and a Kleenex box full of disappointing endings. (Better than a sock, I guess.)

I’m being dramatic. I don’t judge anyone who watches it or creates it. There’s nothing wrong with a little indulgence, now and then. Just like that!

But I do judge myself.

Like most posts on The Davis Daily, this is me thinking out loud. It’s my own brand of therapy—I work my shit out by writing my shit out.

It’s how I learn to live better.

And porn doesn’t help me live better. It doesn’t help any of us live better. Well, maybe there’s an exception. Sub to my OnlyFans. Pay for your perversion. 

It’s the ultimate cock block, in a way.

Seriously, how inspired are you to chase dreams or lift heavy afterwards? How keen are you to do household chores?

More importantly, how passionate do you feel about your partner?

How proud do you feel about yourself?
