Such a man doesn't become a fanatic out of firmness or spiritual self-sufficiency, but out of dependence. Nietzsche describes fanaticism as the only "force of will" to which the weak can be drawn, and ascetics as "mere sturdy donkeys." In reality, the chaste succumb to the pressure of society, which prevents them from living out what their nature impels them to and instead foists upon them a victory over "base instincts." Isn't there a completely different Christianity; an active, joyful, and exhilarating Christianity? The Church burdened the fanatics with mortification in order to better control them.

Pornography can be seen as a weapon of oppression, or as a liberating tool for safely and discreetly channeling unrealizable fantasies and potentially dangerous desires of men and women. Religious people define it as the genre of corruption; conservatives, as the commercialization of loveless sex; and anti-pornography feminists, as violence against women. Politicians try to score points with the electorate by attacking pornography, since it is easy and uncontroversial. Pornography is always the convenient scapegoat for moralists, leaders, and demagogues. Meanwhile, although millions enjoy and use it, very few defend the merits of this genre.

La pornografía puede verse como un arma de opresión, o como una herramienta liberadora para canalizar de manera segura y discreta fantasías irrealizables y deseos potencialmente peligrosos de hombres y mujeres. Los religiosos la definen como el género de la corrupción del alma; los conservadores, como la comercialización del sexo sin amor; y las feministas antipornografía, como violencia contra la mujer. Los políticos intentan ganar puntos con el electorado atacando la pornografía, ya que es fácil y poco polémico. La pornografía es siempre el útil chivo expiatorio de moralistas, líderes y demagogos. Mientras tanto, aunque millones la disfrutan y usan, muy pocos defienden los méritos de este género.

Pornography is the true litmus test for freedom of expression, which was created precisely to protect the most disturbing discourses. However, wherever there are standards of modesty and decency that can be transgressed, there will be pornography. Therefore, a society without it is unimaginable.

La pornografía es la verdadera prueba de fuego para la libertad de expresión, que fue creada precisamente para proteger los discursos más perturbadores. No obstante, siempre que existan normas de modestia y decencia que puedan ser transgredidas, habrá pornografía. Por lo tanto, es inimaginable una sociedad sin ella.
