Читать книгу Always Turned On - Jennifer Schneider - Страница 20

In the past, porn magazines ended up under the mattress, in piles the garage, or stacked in a closet. DVDs and VHS tapes also had to be stored—preferably in a place inaccessible to your kids or your spouse, not to mention visiting relatives and friends. For sexualized phone calls you needed someplace private, which was a real problem when all you had was a landline. For actual live sexual encounters, you needed a motel room or at least a car with a decent backseat. All these forms of sexual content and activity took up a lot of space making them hard to conceal. Today, digital sexual content and activity takes up no more space than the digital device you are using to access it. And if an unwanted visitor enters the room, a simple click can both end the connection and hide the evidence. A porn collection that would once have filled a three-car garage can now be stored on a USB flash drive no bigger than your thumb or in “the cloud.” So in today’s world, sexual acting out, even when excessive, is just a whole lot easier to manage, especially if your goal is to keep it secret.
