Joel Stein - Porn, Relationships - Part 2

How Are You Thinking About? with Igor

It's part 2 with TIME Magazine columnist Joel Stein, and we do not hold back. Some quotes from this episode:

"I get very excited when someone has a fetish I don’t have because I feel superior."

"When I hear alcoholics talk about their first drink, I know the intensity when I first saw my first porn magazine. And the self-hatred, and it was so shameful and so intense. It was so big, that feeling, that I wasn’t able to contain it in any vessel in my body. It was super super and still is very intense."

"I listen to healthy men talk about watching porn, and it’s a tool to have an orgasm. To me, masturbation is a tool to watch porn."

"Relationships get established really early. Like you establish a pattern within weeks that lasts for decades."

"A marriage or a relationship is a million tiny acts of bravery, and [Joel's wife Cassandra] was really good at being brave in the moment and bringing the thing up, like when she’s hurt. I really admire that. It’s really hard."

"I need someone to ask me five times before I tell them how I feel, and then I’m mad if they don’t notice."
