Summary

This quote reflects the paradoxical effect that pornography can have on someone's sexual desires. The initial arousal and stimulation often experienced while watching explicit content may lead to a heightened sexual desire in the short term. However, over time, the intense and exaggerated nature of pornography may lead to feelings of inadequacy or desensitization, dampening one's overall interest in sexual activities. It highlights the potential negative impact that excessive exposure to pornography can have on an individual's perception of sex.

At an incredibly divisive point in pop history, Donna Summer
