Cravings

We have reduced intimacy to the mere friction of flesh, as though the soul does not demand its own form of nakedness.

Porn bypasses the psyche the way fast food bypasses hunger. It satisfies the instinct without giving you a meal of actual nutritious value . There is stimulation, but no digestion. Desire is reduced to a loop, before it has time to organize into anything of value. A primitive logic dressed up as liberation: want, click, cum, forget.

suffering becomes seductive when it confirms an identity we are not ready to abandon.
