Let’s be real—porn sucks. And not just in the “oh, it’s probably not good for me” kind of way. No, it sucks in the “this is actually ruining my brain, my relationships, and my ability to enjoy a sunset without feeling like a potato” kind of way.
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel less motivated, disconnected, or just generally meh after binging porn, you’re not crazy. You’re just seeing the side effects of something that’s sneakier than that one sock that always vanishes in the dryer. So, let’s dive into the surprisingly whimsical (but very real) reasons why porn totally sucks.
1. Porn Sucks the Joy Out of Real Life
Once upon a time, you could enjoy simple things—a beautiful face, a heartfelt conversation, or the glorious feeling of walking barefoot in the grass. But after a regular diet of porn, your brain goes,
“Oh, that’s cute. But is the grass doing backflips in slow motion while wearing lingerie? No? Boring.”
Porn makes real life seem duller by comparison. You find yourself craving constant hyper-stimulation, which makes actual human connection feel… underwhelming. Suddenly, candlelit dinners with your spouse feel like watching paint dry, and even Taco Tuesday loses its charm (which is borderline criminal).
2. Porn Sucks Away Your Time (and Your Productivity)
You ever blink and suddenly three hours have disappeared into the void? Yeah, porn does that. You think,
“Just a quick peek. No big deal.”
And before you know it, you’re deep into page 47 of a website no one should ever reach.
You had big plans—learning a new language, hitting the gym, maybe even starting a sourdough bread hobby (because everyone seems to do that now)—but instead, you’re sitting there wondering why you have the motivation of a deflated beach ball.
3. Porn Sucks at Being Satisfying
Porn is basically the fast food of intimacy. It looks good. Smells good. Promises instant gratification. And then—bam!—it leaves you feeling empty, bloated, and vaguely disappointed with your life choices.
Sure, it scratches the itch in the moment, but it’s a cheap trick. Real intimacy is like a homemade steak dinner with garlic butter and rosemary. Porn? It’s like soggy drive-thru fries you found under your car seat.
4. Porn Sucks the Life Out of Your Relationships
You know what’s hot? Emotional connection. You know what’s not? Becoming a zombie who prefers a screen over a spouse.
When porn enters the chat, relationships get awkward. You become emotionally distant. Your partner feels unseen. And suddenly, the person you once adored feels more like a roommate you high-five occasionally.
Plus, porn makes people weird. You start thinking,
“Wait…shouldn’t every romantic encounter involve four trapeze artists, glow-in-the-dark body paint, and a trained falcon?”
No. No, it shouldn’t.
5. Porn Sucks the Strength Out of Your Soul
Finally—and most importantly—porn sucks the spiritual strength right out of you. It clogs up the part of your soul that was meant to be filled with God’s presence, peace, and purpose.
You start to feel heavy. Numb. Less sensitive to the Spirit and more sensitive to…well, the wrong kind of stimuli. Porn whispers lies, telling you that you’re too broken to be free, too weak to overcome. But the truth?
You’re stronger than you think, and God’s grace is bigger than your struggle.
So, What’s the Solution?
The good news is, while porn sucks, freedom doesn’t.
