I enjoy it but, I don’t know. I guess is like a six-times-a-year thing. I personally don’t feel no connection or addiction to it, just a quick little one-two. [Porn’s] NOTHING LIKE REAL INTIMACY!”In a follow-up comment, she added that erotic material shouldn’t “weaken” men, but “teach [them] how to please a woman.”Cardi B reacts to Candance Owens calling for p*rnography BAN. ‼️“Why yall so against porn?
