So I don't think you have to give up porn... you just have to look for higher quality stuff. It's like choosing to eat organic food or refusing to shop at Walmart... it's all connected, if you ask me. Choose responsible consumption that doesn't contribute to oppressing people and it reduces your guilt.

Yes, I agree that not all porn is made with the best intentions. I was generalizing when I said that you should just take porn for what it is, of course there is porn and there is porn - there are things I would not watch because it gives you all the wrong vibes, of course. I suppose I was talking about the kind of thing I might watch - which would be pretty soft porn I guess. Point taken.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
