Consider pornography, which I am sure that we all appreciate... the product is centered on you and I...
What is the focus?
On a hot, gorgeous woman with a big juicy ass and heaving tits. All right, that makes sense...
What about the guy? Is he a hot stud? Being a hot guy who appreciates male looks, I could not get why there were few hot guys in porn until starting to look.
Hot guy in porn? No, quite the contrary most times, because men are watching for -their- fantasy and if they see a good looking, tall, handsome man they will subconsciously be triggered and their pride riled by the intruder to their fantasy.
They want a lumpy, perhaps balding, average Joe who is rarely in the frame at all, and if he is, it will remind them of themselves.
Whatever focus is on the guy, it is on his package, as that package can be transferred without pride to the viewers libido.
That becomes the centerpiece - a gorgeous woman and a cock and balls (Your cock and balls, or mine, you or I become the mark, the object that is inserted, in this case literally.)
(Interesting aside - pornography is starting to be produced in Japan for women and the design changes. The boys are usually handsome and gentle, the girls are usually cute but not knock outs, and the whole pornography situation is told as more of a story, a real narrative with an emotional as well as hardcore XXX climax, as for a girl these things are as important as getting railed.)
It happens in sales, in story telling, or in politics.
The point is to give the experience to you whether getting our money, putting us in the action, or having us vote.
We may not notice at all if we are not looking to understand, we might understand at the start that something is "off" about so many situations in life, or we might look and see that all sorts of systems are designed to have us pursue empty corners and endless halls.
Maybe.
I am not against pornography either, but the question becomes, how much and how often? For a lot of young guys it turns to obsession, same as video games, same as their favorite t.v. show, the same as politics for some.
These ridiculous puppet shows are all around, they give us nothing, but in a primitive sense we seek them for satisfaction. By all means look, but know when to look away, and be curious about what might be a better vision for life.
