The Internet is for porn

Now-hubby pointed this little interview out to me with James Deen in GQ.

Hilariously, he put in the subject line, "James Deen (the porn star)," because, you know, I might have gotten confused.

It's less of an interview as more of a sort of "day in the life" piece, but it's decently done.

The only little twinge I got was when, near the end, there's this line:

Ultimately, for this reporter, I would be frightened that if I weren't able to recall the names of sexual partners beyond the previous two weeks, ideals like intimacy and love would begin to seem gooey and absurd, and a terrible unexamined loneliness would become the natural condition of my life.

There's a bit of judgement/standard narrative going on here. On a second reading, I'm willing to focus on the, "for this reporter," bit and interpret it more as for him specifically those are scary things. He's not necessarily making a judgement call one way or the other if other people should be capable of this type of relationship.
