the problem with pornography

the problem with pornography he said apart from everything

is that it destroys the capacity to fantasise, which is a very powerful form of imagination

a kind of deep magic that the authorities want to erode because it binds people together

when you have an erotic dream about someone you know and you make it into a fantasy

you are casting a spell and becoming more powerful together

and collective eros is the most powerful weapon we have against those who would seek to govern us

why do you think there is so much free pornography in the world?

who benefits when people walk around in shame

feeling cut off from others?

They want you to stay isolated, untouched, mediated by your indoor screen

Your imagination is holy he said

don’t let them take it away from you

Your desire is who you are

Your life is you and all your relations

Interference is a weapon

Their magic and ours
