I wonder how many people will hold on to the fact that he's a super annoying artsy fartsy type and flat out ignore the fact that everything he said there is true.

Ever since I quit watching porn, I have a different perception of so many things on entertainment. My orgasms are much better too tbh. I appreciate everyone who ever took a stand againt porn here bc those comments/discussions were a huge influence on my decision to stop supporting pornography.

really happy for you, bb. we as a society have a huge porn problem i can only wish more people could examine their habits not only for their sake, but for others as well 💖

I try to talk about it with my friends as much as possible but most of them are gay men and don't see the harm in pornography whatsoever. Either way, baby steps, at least they're open to discussions.

I don't like porn at all

i was just wondering what happened to him

He is struggling with the burdens of being an artiste.

how dare he do john lithgow like that

We don’t think about who they are or what their lives are like.

why would I want to do that about a stranger I don't know and will not meet. I understand wanting to treat them as people if you happen across them in the street, be sensible and courteous, and know they aren't on the clock.

i kind of see the point he was trying to make but it goes void when i think about don jon. did he consider himself an artist then?

[izzzzy23]

but isn't the point of don jon that the character comes to basically the same realisation as the point he's making?

[hereforthedrama]

the point of that movie went over so many people's head lol

[merel_93]

lolol right? It's been a hot minute since I've seen that movie, but that movie was pretty clear on what the start and the finish were supposed to have you think and feel
