Some food for thought.

All these false myths about “romantic love” are destroying our lives. It’s really time we stopped perpetrating them so that we can stop feeling like failures and start living lives that reflect our freedom, our individuality and our uniqueness – not the lives we are told we should be living.
DAY #1 – THE GREAT PORN EXPERIMENT
DAY #2 – WHY I STOPPED WATCHING PORN
“Our porn-influenced mainstream culture (Miley Cyrus, commercials…) is “porn with clothes on it”. So girls and women get this notion that if you want to be worthy of love, first you have to be worthy of sexual desire. And now, the definition of sexual desire is being like a pornstar.” – Ran Gavrieli
DAY #3 – MUSICAL BREAK
Recap. According to Ran Gavrieli (video day#2), 90% of 10-year-old boys are watching internet porn on a regular basis. And as Gary Wilson explained (see video day#1), high speed internet porn is not Playboy (it rewires the brain). But before moving on, time for a musical break + some beautiful animation.
DAY #4 – CAM GIRLZ (trailer)
“A documentary film that enters the world of internet sex workers who find economic freedom, empowerment, intimacy, and creative self expression from the comfort of their own homes.” (film available on Vimeo) > WAIT A MINUTE… “creative self expression”? That sounds like bullshit to me.

I’ll let you figure out how this fits in with the “pornography epidemic”.
DAY #6 – LOUIS CK on masturbation
“It’s easy, it’s fun, and nobody gets hurt.” – LOUIS CK on masturbation
Amen. We are told that we must be careful about how we use Internet and always be mindful of its tendency to distract us from the realities of living as human beings. I guess the same could be said about pornography.
