Why is pornography (and sexualisation in general) so normalised? (mander.xyz)

It seems as though we are going backwards. We were doing so well in realising that all human beings are worthy individuals with emotional and intellectual depth, yet now so many of us don't seem to see any problem with society encouraging many to reduce themselves to sexual objects. How is this rationalised?

What could be more normal than the thing at the literal center of your being, as a human? Both literally and figuratively. It's literally the center of your body. And sex is literally the thing that makes us exist. Practically every animal does it. And we should be ashamed of it!?

    If you're never having it and you want to be, that sucks. I found myself in that position years ago. I was pushing 300 pounds, unhappy, etc... It was a series of events and actions that helped me work through the issues, but the big two for me were psychedelics and a keto diet. (ADHD meds also made a big impact and I've seen signs that a gentle anti-depressant could maybe be a really helpful cherry on top for me, but it's still pretty new.)

    I have no idea if that's relevant to you--your situation may be totally different. But if yours happens to be similar, I would just say to you that it's 1.) really, truly possible, 2.) it's really hard, and you might backslide some before it clicks, and 3.) it's totally worth the painful effort.
