Porn

I'd like to share this essay and ask the question, is porn political? I've included a link just because of the length:

PORN

Porn is in my life again.

Sometimes when I look at porn, I can't stop. I walk away eventually – but usually hours, or most of an entire day, have gone by. On occasion, I've forgotten what time or what day of the week it was, missed appointments or gone to bed at dawn because of porn. I always tell myself that I'm only going to watch it for a few minutes - as I'm leaving for work, after I finish dinner, right before bed. Three hours later, four or five or six hours later, I'm still sitting there, staring at the screen, wondering where the time went. I've lost years like that.

I'd had several months away from porn this last time. Then I just got up one morning last week, walked over to the computer and went to a porn site. I was disappointed in myself for failing yet again, but I felt excited too. I'd missed my porn. When I downloaded the first image and felt the familiar rush, the release of tension. It's like I hadn't been away at all.

Just to reinforce what I think you already know. Sexual energy is there for two purposes. One as a destructive force. Two as a constructive force. If you channel your energies through absitinence and in putting this energy to some practical use that puts smiles on two faces then...well picture the rest.
