Excerpt from “GQ” interview with actress Amanda Seyfried who appears as the tragic porn-star Linda Lovelace in the new film “Lovelace:”
On when they first experienced porn
Seyfried: Yeah. I was five or six. Six, I think.
Seyfried: Yeah. It was a cop—a guy dressed in a cop costume, and it was a girl going down on him. It was the first time I’d ever seen a penis, and I remember it being very graphic, and I remember when he came: it was so terrifying. It was funny. But it was also, like, so, so, so wrong. It was 1990 or 1991, and so AIDS was really rampant. Watching any kind of sexual acts when you’re a six-year-old would make you think you were going to contract AIDS somehow.
In her most recent interview with Salon.com, it’s not surprising that a young woman who was exposed to porn at a very early age has turned to the worship of Earthly idols; here is what she had to say about her hero Hillary Clinton:
Can I ask why Hillary Clinton is important to you?
Because she’s, f***ing, an incredibly strong, smart woman. She has her own voice and she’s fair and she’s liberal and she – you can’t compare her to anybody. She’s, like, an anomaly, and I really think she’s going to be president. We’re talking about women’s rights – a f***ing woman, that a lot of people would agree with me, she could be president. Jesus, a woman running this country – a woman running the world, we need that. She’s funny, too. She’s just somebody you want to know, and she works so hard, and she … I don’t know. I look at Bill the same way, but he’s different. Those are the two people in my life that I would … I’d love to meet them before I die.
At this point, Seyfried’s statements are significant as they prove the contention that an juvenile exposure to pornography has a very liberalizing effect on the viewer; much the same was evidenced in a study that verified men who regularly watch porn were far more likely to approve of gay marriage than their non-porn watching compatriots; see my blog: http://www.josephsciambra.com/2012/12/the-liberalizing-of-america-by-porn.html An introduction to porn as a child also creates a mind-set in which the person is continually attached to the strictly material: a reliance on bodily pleasure for happiness, a propensity towards depression with regards to the transitory nature of physical sensation, and a keen desire for fame and wealth. For this reason, most liberals consistently huddle about political figures in their search for personal meaning. Porn stunts the human desire of the transcendent and keeps the mind grounded to the floor. In the end, God disappears.
