I had a long conversation about this in another context. Sports entertainment in particular is brutal.

That's often the choice people are presented with. Especially in sports. Either protect your sense of self, or prioritize others by proving that you are willing to destroy yourself for their benefit.

I had a pretty vulnerable convo with @ParkerMolloy about burnout, media criticism, and trying to make things when it feels like nothing matters.

Read/listen to my old colleagues @ParkerMolloy and @gaywonk talk about the existential despair of trying to roll the media criticism boulder uphill, only for it to crush you on its way back down every single time. https://www.readthepresentage.com/p/podcast-carlos-maza

People are acting like Biles broke some kind of contract. She did. She gets tremendous benefits for taxing her body and mind for our entertainment. She is allowed to stop doing that at the very instant it doesn't work for her anymore. And she did.

I was talking to @operaqueenie about Simone Biles last night. I'll tell y'all what I told her. These problems of physical and mental pressure have always been here. What different is younger generations are saying no. It's happening more often in all parts of life.

I remember this. I remember thinking it was incredible. Now it seems horrifying.

Back to the videos. Crazy watching a woman try to get famous by pimping out her husband and his porn addiction like this.

Anyway, I think we should JO to this one and then get on with our day.

And not having to pretend frees you to get some of your needs elsewhere—emotional and social needs, not necessarily sexual ones (but can include those)—without having to feel like you're being failed or that your failing or that your relationship is deficient or broken or doomed.

@fakedansavage ("Dan Savage") replied to a tweet by @fakedansavage:

The relationship is hostage to a lie. So much healthier to release each other from that pretense. Doesn't mean you have to open up the R and/or watch all the porn. Just means you don't have to pretend.

You are not enough. No one is. Even if you're successfully and effortlessly monogamous, even if you two never watch porn, pretending you're enough for your partner or that they're enough for you places an unnecessary strain on a relationship.
