Thanks for the interesting video, and good food for thought!

I find it interesting that he identifies eroticism as something sacred, then fails to identify the concept of transgressing against taboo, which I think many people find to heighten eroticism, also as sacred. It seems to me like a failure to separate fantasy from reality.

When you roleplay a scenario with someone, it is acting, which itself is an artistic expression and something creative.

Now don’t get me wrong, a lot of mainstream porn is formulaic and boring because they all flirt with breaking the same standard taboos in the same formulaic ways, but I don’t think there’s anything morally wrong with it conceptually.

The problems occur when people are unable to distinguish that those acts should only be done with prior discussion and consent. Mainstream Christians really need to learn some lessons from kink communities.

Owen Earl’s videos are so good. This one might be my new favorite. He’s unpacking stuff about maleness and sexuality that took me decades of suffering to understand.
