Junk Sex
» Amorous Scholarship
From an essay comparing cultural and social attitudes towards matters sexual and culinary:
This junk sex shares all the defining features of junk food. It is produced and consumed by people who do not know one another. It is disdained by those who believe they have access to more authentic experience or “healthier” options. Internet pornography is further widely said — right now, in its relatively early years — to be harmless, much as few people thought little of the ills to come through convenient prepared food when it first appeared; and evidence is also beginning to emerge about compulsive pornography consumption, as it did slowly but surely in the case of compulsive packaged food consumption, that this laissez-faire judgment is wrong.

My mother always had the theory that men are fucked up around sex, while women are fucked up around food. I can see the sense to that although of course I don’t agree.

I’m afraid that I fuck up with food. Especially right now.
