The brain is wondrous. But honestly, it mostly full up with uncategorised, probably offensive and exceptionally graphic content. It’s a goddamn mess of a place and if you are liable to feeling guilty about things then good luck trying to hold yourself accountable for all the despicable material you’ve generated in your head. But I wouldn’t dwell on this fact because by now all the hot sex and weird animals and situational hero worship has now disappeared and has been replaced with some other horrifically strange set of impulses (which too will pass). Take comfort that the brain is both wondrous and fickle.

The famous and notorious - notorious for generating the most furiously guilt-ridden masturbation sessions in the history Christianity - Matthew 5:27 thought-crime passage declaring that coveting someone’s partner is equivalent to actually getting busy with them is ridiculous: thinking about cheating does not make you a cheater, but if you are looking at lots of strangers with lustful eyes it might be you are an asshole? These days I think it’s best to first determine some kind of situational/verbal consent from someone before you eye-fuck the shit out of them.
