What article did you read?
He does not condemn porn. He questions what it means to have a natural sexuality when "Sexiness is always constructed — it used to be normatively hot to be fat and pale! "
His problem is not that he has "demons", but that "I feel estranged from my sexuality, like it’s somebody else’s."
The piece comes across to me as very self reflective, asking '(why) is this a problem?' 'What would I be like in not for Y (porn)', and so forth.
I do not see any clear path to a police state (and I like to think of myself as (relativly) extremely biased to seeing a police state).
- guard-of-terra 14y agoI don't really blame anything on the author. But it seems to me that winter is coming and we all might be heading to a police state. And I don't see how his article can't be used as a brick in the wall constructed by people not really caring about us (but only about "demons" in their heads") between us and free speech, freedom of expression and sometimes physical freedom. That's what I'm fearing.
- tsotha 14y agoYep, that's the problem. You start seeing a bunch of articles like this for a few months, and then someone in power will say "This is such a terrible problem, why don't we put some sensible restrictions on porn. For the children."

" His problem is not that he has "demons", but that "I feel estranged from my sexuality, like it’s somebody else’s."" He's projecting his other issues on pornography, though. All of these issues will continue to exist unanswered long after he abandons porno.
