Why Watch Porn?

Quote: “Online pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry where every second over 3000 dollars are spent and almost 30,000 people are fapping…Unless someone shuts down the internet, pornography will continue to be an online powerhouse.” – Daily Infographic

Why do people watch porn? The s*x industry is not an indication of “freedom of” anything…not by a long shot. Truth told, it is really psychologically inhibiting and has the impact of being locked in a mental prison of someone else’s making.

Does anyone stop to think about the fact that if they pay for porn, they contribute to the spending of millions, even billions, of dollars to assist and finance an industry that encourages prostitution (no one’s childhood dream), suicide, male domination over women, brutality, anger, violence, human trafficking and exploitation, clinical depression, eating disorders, self-devaluation, pedophilia, child molestation, kidnapping, rape, humiliation, isolation, the spreading of unwanted and unnecessary social diseases, and auto-erotic criminal behavior, even murder?

Odder still is how the people who run this industry can never want or hurt for anything life has to offer while public grade schools and HBCUs across the nation are struggling for the money just to stay open and keep up with the rest of the world.

Why bother? It takes up too much time, wastes too much energy and in many cases, costs too much money.

Under the circumstances, we should never ask the question about why America is disintegrating and spiraling to the bottom of the global educational heap when it comes to competition in technology and the sciences-why we are not STEM-ready.

America is not “broke,” America is suffering from a bad case of misplaced priorities when it comes to spending habits.

There is enough money in that one place, that one industry, for the USA to not only provide healthcare and education as a “shared cost” made available to all citizens regardless of economic circumstances, but also more than enough to substantially end unemployment and under-employment for most American citizens who can work.

Refusing to invest in the porn industry carries a tremendous weight of responsibility with it.

That is money that can be used to not only drive a considerable wedge into the profiteering focus of the school-to-prison corporation system, and to keep our schools and colleges open and viable in society; but it also carries the added benefit of replacing it with videos about teaching people to at least “respect” each other in the bedroom, something the watching of porn is not capable of doing by its very own nature.

In the meantime…if you make $8 a hour and your actual market value, if you kept up with today’s cost of living, is $35 an hour; and you pay $30 for an hour of porn, you just gave some white person in the “internet cloud” $57 in terms of cash and time value to tell you what to think, how to think it, and about their own fantasies for a whole hour.

They should be getting advertisers to finance it and paying YOU to watch.
