Online Porn is The Modern Day Drug ( Poem #1 )
Online Porn is The Modern Day Drug
Online porn is the modern day needle.
Instant injection, to sooth and to wheedle.
Dopamine on demand, in digital form.
A hooked generation is now the big norm.
The dealer so smart, he brings them to heaven.
They all have him close -in the pocket- 24/7
Thoughts from Scandinavian Bob…
This is a poem I wrote one evening when I thought about many a of today's young mane are hooked on porn, having a real, serious, porn addiction.
First I was struggling to find a word that rhymes with “needle”. But then, after a while, I found the word “wheedle”, which according to the dictionary means, to influence or entice by soft words or flattery…basically, to get what you want by coaxing or flattering.
Perfect!
Why?
Well, because that is exactly the nature of dopamine. It fools you into thinking that happiness is right around the corner, but yet, when you get there, it never satisfies.
Of course, this is especially true with addiction and we still need dopamine, so I'm not saying dopamine is bad. In fact, we need it in order to function and survive. But the fact remains, the core nature of dopamine is to “wheedle”.
“The dealer so smart” is obviously referring to the smartphone, which can be seen as the drugdealer in this case. Well, at least with a little bit of stretch and imagination 🙂
The sad thing, though, is that pretty much all of as are walking around with that damn thing in our pockets, 24/7.
Thanks for reading!
