All Comments on 'Its Only A Matter Of Time...'

Wow, this essay was so close to true for me it was scary. I don't know who you are QnB but get out of my head...I have never unloaded a shotgun in to my monitor but the feeling and modivations are dead on. Good job

I really feel you really landed on what happens when Porn takes control of your life. While I do believe pornography can be healthy and enjoyable if taken in small doses on some occasion, I do understand fully that too much of it can swallow up your life. I don't think it's any worse than playing a video game for 10 hours a day, or such. I see my friends who sit on their rear end all day playing video games or watching TV. They get nothing accomplished. So, which is worse?: Watching/Viewing Porn for an hour a day or watching TV/playing video games for 5-6 hours a day. Which gets more accomplished?

I believe that as long as you don't let it take control of your life, Pornography is healthy - and I personally believe in what a lot of the modern day adult directors are trying to achieve: To bring sex into the open - as a healthy productive part of life. It's because it is so secret and hidden that makes us sulk in the shadows and watch it. That may induce some strong feelings toward it: because it is so "secret."

But, your essay doesn't really focus on that topic. It really focuses on what it's like when it DOES swallow you whole. Yes, it is very true. Recently I almost went through the same thing. I've been having a boring summer and I started to feel a disgust toward Porn because I was watching a bit more of it. I wanted to dump my collection (which I had spent hard earned money on), but was stopped in the last minute by my girlfriend. She told me that it was ok to have the stuff. I just need to control how much I use it. As long as I keep myself busy with daily tasks, I no longer have a problem about watching a little porn every night before sleep. I had a full day, got a lot accomplished, spent time with my girlfriend - so, it's ok... I'm not wasting my life.

Wonderful essay. Hopefully people with your same problem can come to the same conclusion as you did.
