What Your Cultural ‘Porn’ Fix Says About You

Yes, even Playboy can’t be considered porn now that the magazine stopped publishing naked models. Still, the word’s evolution led to some creative interpretations.

Everybody has a favorite porn… that escapist fantasy crystallized in picture form. For some of us it’s travel. Others crave cars or extreme weather.

Our cultural overlords have been only too kind to fill in the gaps. Consider the following “porn” categories and their content equivalents. But what does your non-porn porn say about you?

Food Porn: Stop starving your soul! Try some spirituality and/or meditation and see what happens. Your scary emotions/feelings are masking insecurities and are inviting you to explore. Best food porn movies: “Tampopo,” “Chef,” “Like Water for Chocolate.”
