ONE TWO THREE SAY SEX!

One Easter, my unenthusiastic cousins and I were being forced together to take a picture. (Omigosh, we just want to eat our Easter candy already!) Rather than "ONE TWO THREE SAY CHEESE!" my grandpa replaced the words with "SEX!" I was in seventh grade, my cousins and I couldn't help but chuckle.

Now, let's imagine if my grandpa had replaced "SEX!" with "PORN!" I would have most likely connected porn to pigs because porn once sounded a lot like "boar" to me. Though it may have taken me a while to learn the meaning of this odd word, the budding generations are learning about this thing faster than they should be!

An article by The Telegraph addresses how the word "sex" has lost its meaning for those exposed to porn at a young age. Porn is what Orwell describes as "the invasion of ready-made phrases." It gives a false illusion, perpetuating fantasy to its viewers until they are brainwashed with this idea that sex is when a girl obeys what"a boy [expects] her to do." Pornography, both the word and the explicit material, has caused people to have a pre-conceived idea of unrealistic expectations. This is the metaphor Orwell speaks of that has lost its meaning and value, for pornography leaves those addicted at young ages to batter emotional instabilities and fears of their own bodies.

Watch what you want, but keep in mind that censoring those precious emotions of yours may help ya out when you're confused as of why you feel emotionless and lost.
