Me neither. But being critical and analysing our desires and interests should be the supreme goal of any self-reflecting person. It is possible to enjoy media and relationships while being aware of what drives you to make certain choices, and importantly, what drives others to make choices. Why is your culture the way it is?
The fact that "everything is political" (a phrase I try to avoid using because of its ignorant lack of nuance) does not mean we have to constantly think about it. Climate change activists will use buses, Marx still got Capital published through a publishing company, and I still watch porn sometimes. The point is to be aware and critical about what you do, not necessarily while you do it.
