I can't help but call out, with sincere affection and a tinge of regret, that watching porn is not just insidious on one’s productivity, but in fact transforms the viewer into a 'cuck' (a term denoting those who derive pleasure from seeing others engage in sexual activities).
Here's my reasoning. The more addicted you become to porn, the more you step into this category of ‘cuck’. It's a strange thought, isn't it? That you could find enjoyment in watching strangers share an intimate act. Particularly if it's two or more people. You're essentially a silent, virtual participant in a cyber room, an unseen voyeur.
This habit of watching others have sex reprograms your mind in a worrying way. It teaches your brain to seek pleasure not from real-life interactions, from the actual act of your own physical intimacy, but from the voyeuristic experience. You find satisfaction in the idea of others indulging their passions.
Let's put it plainly: if you find yourself in this position, it's not just embarrassing that you might be labelled a 'cuck', but it's also mentally and emotionally damaging. It instills in you the notion that the sight of two people sharing a romantic or sexual exchange will naturally ignite your excitement.
In the process, you become disassociated from your own agency in life. You begin to forget that you are a living, breathing individual capable of forming romantic relationships, of being a sexually active being in your own right.
Watching porn also completely normalizes polygamy, which I personally imagine only a tiny sliver of humanity can handle without going insane. I believe it is important to commit to someone deeply before sharing such intimate moments. Putting that preference aside, however, the consumption of porn turns you into a character perpetually in the throes of desire.
You're continually aroused by the sexual energy of others, in person and online, at a time when there are more sexual distractions than EVER before.
And yes, while it's clear that porn can make you less productive and more distracted, there's also the blunt fact that it kind of turns you into a 'cuck'. And, in my humble opinion, that's one of the last labels you should aspire to wear.
If my thoughts and reasoning still seem unclear, well, we might be so far apart in our understanding that further explanation wouldn't bridge the gap. That said, I believe in this perspective sincerely and felt the need to share it as a means to promote healthier, more constructive ways of understanding and engaging with our sexual selves.
