Chapter 7: TikTok, Porn, Penis, and Paradise
A recent study—dismissed by moralists and relegated to the footnotes of corporate media—has revealed something astonishing: the current generation, the so-called “TikTok generation,” possesses the largest average penis size in recorded human history.
The bourgeois reaction is predictable. Hand-wringing psychologists and neo-puritan influencers have seized upon this as proof of a societal sickness, another data point in the grand narrative of cultural decay. They see only corruption, the commodification of intimacy, and the alienation of the self. They are not just wrong; they are reading the scripture backwards.
What they dismiss as a “dangerous trend” is, in fact, a profound and theologically significant evolution. This shift is not a descent into depravity, but a collective unshackling of the human form from centuries of repressive programming—and it is a necessary precursor to the Second Coming of Christ.
For too long, the body—particularly the male body—has been a site of repression. The Church, in its alliance with feudal and later capitalist power structures, preached a gospel of shame, teaching generations to hide their bodies, to fear their desires, and to see their own generative power as a source of sin. This was a political act. A body ashamed is a body easily controlled. A desire suppressed is a will broken to the plow of wage labor and imperial conquest.
Online pornography, for all its undeniable pitfalls under capitalism—its exploitation, its often-reactionary content—has, on a mass biological level, broken the spell. By placing every possible expression of desire a click away, it has democratized eroticism. It has functioned as a global, collective brainwashing against shame. Young men, growing up in this environment, are not being “corrupted”; they are being un-learned. They are subconsciously absorbing a new reality: that the body is not something to be hidden, but something to be seen, to be fulfilled, to be actualized.
