John Mayer: My biggest dream is to write pornography

John Mayer

- What’s your point about porn  and relationships?

Internet pornography has absolutely changed my generation’s
expectations. How could you be constantly synthesizing an orgasm
based on dozens of shots? You’re looking for the one photo
out of 100 you swear is going to be the one you finish to,
and you still don’t finish. Twenty seconds ago you thought that photo
was the hottest thing you ever saw, but you throw it back and continue
your shot hunt and continue to make yourself late for work.
How does that not affect the psychology of having a relationship
with somebody? It’s got to.

- You seem very fond of  pornography.

When I watch porn, if it’s not hot enough, I’ll make up backstories
in my mind. My biggest dream is to write pornography.

- How did you become a  self-soother?

I grew up in my own head. As soon as I lose that control,
once I have to deal with someone else’s desires, I cut and run.
I’m pretty culpable about being hard to live with.
I have had a good run of imagining things into reality.
I’ve got a huge streak of successes based on my own inventions.



If you tell me I’m wrong or that I’m overthinking something, well,
overthinking has given me everything in my career.
I have a hard time not looking at anxiety disorder as being like an ATM.
I can invent things really well. I mean, I have unbelievable orgasms alone.
They’re always the best.
They always end the way I want them to end. And I have such an ability
to make believe, I can almost project something onto my wall,
watch it and get off to it: sexually, musically, it doesn’t matter
