Chris Rock opens up about porn addiction in new show

Quote:
Comedian Chris Rock has admitted he was addicted to porn and described it as being "sexually autistic".

The 53-year-old comedian has opened up about his addiction to X-rated material in his first stand-up special in nearly a decade on new show 'Tamborine

Chris - who says he's "a lot better now" - said: "I was addicted to porn. When you watch too much porn, you know what happens?

"You become, like, sexually autistic. You develop sexual autism. You have a hard time with eye contact and verbal cues. You get desensitised."

Hmmm...

Am an American, so I had to look up the term "knob" online to understand your post.

Turns out that its British slang that means the same thing as "dick head".


If a weed smoker is a "pot head", and a crack addict is a "crack head" then a male porn addict would indeed be a "dick head". I suppose. And that's the very thing that he is confessing to being! Lol!

No, Mr Rock, you do not develop sexual autism. Grow up and take responsibility for your addiction.

Hmm, I think getting a porn star to open up is bad enough, so getting a jaded actor/rapper of an addict to do it sounds even more degrading to onlookers by to say the least.

Another retweet by another typo rad, clearly trying to mimic the Richard Pryor school of comedy act. No hit contest.

He may be a comedian but he's not a psychologist

In his defense I think he was looking for a term to describe his addiction but it has come out wrong

denzel Washington once called himself "socially ret*d." sometimes in a spontaneous situation it is hard to find the exact correct term to use in real-time.

I actually seen people on this forum describe themselves as "socially ret*d" quite a few times. I think sometimes people like to use these ad-hoc descriptions.

Yeah I accept people can call themselves socially ret*d so I understand Denzel Washington trying to find the words to describe his social skills

Still not comfortable with Ben Affleck calling himself "a ret*d" to explain his groping women

on comparatively puritanical American tv/media, if he called himself a "dumbshit" instead, he'd have been censored.

These seem quite different to me. The first I don't like but agree that maybe he just couldn't find the right word. Backwards, perhaps?

Affleck's comment is saying that groping women is done by people who are ret*d.

This makes complete sense. He sees autism as a lack of emotion (desensitised) robotic. :roll:

No, Affleck's comment was a sorry attempt to apologise to a female reporter he groped
The reason he used the word "ret*d" was because he watched the recording afterward to describe his his drunk conduct.

I think what he's trying to say is that when you watch too much porn, you may get unmotivated to talk to real women so as a result, you may become less likely to care about picking up on social cues or making eye contact.

Which kind of makes sense. A part of the reason why men approach women is out of physical and sexual desire. You see a hot girl you want to date, you talk to her because you're motivated by the fact you want to date and have sex with her. That's just the truth...

So if you're jacking off to porn all the time, you lose some of that desire because you're getting your sexual needs already met. So as a result, you lose some of that desire to talk to real women. Why go talk to that hot girl over there and risk getting humiliated and rejected 90% of the time when I can just go simply jack off to Princess Leia getting "motorboated" by Yoda and Chewbacca instead?

Dating is hard (for some people) Getting laid is hard (for some people) It's a lot easier just to go watch some porn because it's always there. Any type of girl you like, porn has it.
