What is Killing Men's Desire for Marriage?
Recently,
a number of people have mentioned to me a YouTube video by Russell Brand, yes,
that Russell Brand, the ex-husband of singing sensation, Katy Perry, where he
discusses the book and film “50 Shades of Grey” and the issue of pornography,
whether so called soft porn or hardcore porn. In his video commentary he makes
some very excellent points such as the reality that pornography is a
disconnecting act from true love and from real intimacy, and it is a commodification
and mainstreaming of soft porn. He calls it warped, perverted and a deviation
from true love and the act of procreation. “It reduces sex to an extracted
physical act, diminishing trust in the couple”, he says, “Introducing a
promiscuity in what is natural, and corrupting it.”
He
then lists several effects of soft porn, among them: voyeurism, objectification
of women as sex objects, the wrong validation of masculinity and fear of true
intimacy. If you wish to see the entire video commentary look for Russell
Brand, 50 Shades – Has Porn Ruined My
Chances of a Happy Marriage?
