Why am I so fascinated by pornography?

"When the real is repressed, imagination fetishizes what’s hidden; normalize the body and the compulsive pull of taboo fades into acceptance."
According to Osho, your fascination with pornography springs from religious conditioning that condemns the natural body; when the real is repressed, imagination fetishizes what’s hidden. Porn thrives on taboo: priests create the prohibition, and the mind chases pictures. Normalize nudity and simple, loving contact with living people, and the compulsive pull fades; acceptance dissolves curiosity born of deprivation and fear.
Because adults made bodies a secret and shameful, your mind gets extra curious about the hidden pictures; if bodies felt normal, the craving would calm down.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces shame by seeing the body as natural, not forbidden.
- Shifts attention from compulsive fantasy to real, respectful intimacy.
- Weakens the porn habit by removing the thrill of taboo.
