Part 12/17:
The influence of consuming highly aroused, extreme content—whether visual or written—can severely distort expectations in real-world relationships. Women may seek intense, cinematic experiences that are hard to fulfill with actual partners, leading to dissatisfaction or emotional disconnect. Men, meanwhile, may develop objectifying attitudes, expecting flawless, novelty-rich encounters that rarely exist outside fantasy.
This disconnect not only harms personal relationships but also diminishes the quality of romantic literature and storytelling. With market pressures prioritized over artistic and moral integrity, stories become products designed solely to titillate, often at the expense of character development, virtue, and meaningful themes.
