About this listen

Porn isn’t just an industry. It’s an infrastructure. It’s not just about sex. It’s about systems. This book is not a purity sermon. It’s not a guilt trip. It’s not a moral panic dressed up as self-help. It’s a blunt, forensic scan of what happens when the oldest human instinct meets the most addictive technology on Earth. From ancient temples to VHS tapes, Playboy to Pornhub, sacred rituals to infinite scroll, THE FANTASY MACHINE tells the true story of how porn evolved from side-show taboo to full-blown nervous system takeover. It exposes how stimulation replaced intimacy, how algorithms rewired arousal, and how screens turned real people into background noise. If you’ve ever wondered why nothing feels good anymore. if you’ve ever closed the tab and asked, “What the hell am I doing?” if you’ve ever felt like sex became performance, connection became content, and love got edged out by pixels. This is the book that finally says it out loud.
