Chris Rock Comes Clean About Porn Addiction

All of the elderly comedians from yesteryear are being treated like an Oprah audience on Netflix. You get a special! You get a special! Everyone gets a special! Millennials are finally allowed the opportunity to see big names past their prime deliver lukewarm punchlines to pass the time. The latest on the list to pop up on your “New on Netflix” notifications is Chris Rock and his Tamborine stand up special. For the most part it’s the typical black struggle in America, Trump is Lucifer, and I’m a comedian raising kids so let me tell you about their quirky behaviors I find funny. A far cry from his best work but I’d look the other way when it came to my legacy too if Netflix was cutting a check for a few million. What was a surprise was his addiction to porn. Hopefully his jokes don’t lead to people self-diagnosing an imaginary addiction and the government starting a war on porn.

“What happens when you watch too much porn is you get desensitized,” he continues. “When you start watching porn, any porn’ll do. ‘Ah, they’re naked. Woo-hoo.’ Then, later on, you’re all fucked-up. And you need is a perfect porn cocktail to get you off. I was so fucked-up, I need an Asian girl with a black girl’s ass that speaks Spanish just to get my dick to move an inch. I’m a lot better now.”

I can almost empathize with what he’s saying. But it’s not porn that’s addictive, it’s just the natural evolution of interest after assimilation. I’d be more weirded out by an adult that’s still watching the same soft core porn that everyone has seen on HBO when they were 14. Porn isn’t the problem. A proposed Virginia house bill already wants to put porn behind a $20 paywall and use human trafficking as their excuse for the madness. The small percentage of Svetlanas kidnapped from the Czech Republic and forced to do porn won’t see any of that money. I never want to drive past a delegalize porn rally all because Chris Rock inspired a nation to admit their addiction.
