"Now answer my question," Aanchal said before her ass touched the couch.
"At least let everyone settle down." Charlie smiled. "You are not the only one here."
Aanchal squinted her eyes at him.
"Okay, okay," Charlie said. "Here is what happened next. He created his version of romance in his imagination and came to me the next week. Then I asked him to visualize himself in place of the man, and his wife in place of the woman in that scene for another week. He didn't come back again."
Aanchal glared at him. "You made us wait to tell only this much?"
"The time was up," Charlie shrugged.
Aanchal cursed at him in her heart.
As if he heard her curses. He smiled.
"Don't you fight like a couple?" Himani giggled.
Aanchal gave her a stern look. Himani stopped laughing and made a quick action of her lips are sealed.
Charlie smiled. Then he turned to Lovereet, "Porn is like a drug. You get addicted to it if you continue watching it for a long time. Ramesh was lucky to get out of the addiction to porn. It nearly broke his marriage."
"I can control myself." Lovereet said, "Also, I don't watch porn all the time. I only watch them when I am masturbating."
"Well, every addiction starts like that. And it turns into addiction before they realize it."
Lovereet didn't seem convinced.
"Okay. Do one thing." Charlie said.
"What?"
"Close your eyes."
"What?" her eyes widened.
"I said, close your eyes."
She shut her eyes.
Charlie's voice fell on her ears. "Now, imagine a few romantic, lovemaking scenes. You don't need to count them. Just let them flash in front of your eyes."
Lovereet nodded.
There was a silence in the room for a few seconds, which felt like forever. Everyone in the room was waiting for what Charlie was going to say next. A few were also trying to predict what would he say.
Lovereet opened her eyes. She was not as vibrant as she was before.
"How many scenes were not from the porn?" Charlie asked.
"None." She said in a low voice.
"Really?" Himani said.
Lovereet didn't say a word.
"She has watched so much porn that she can't think of any other way of romance than what she saw in the porn," Charlie said, without moving his eyes away from Lovereet.
Lovereet turned her eyeballs to Charlie's knees.
Charlie looked around, "Watching porn is not healthy. It affects your mental health. We start it as fun, curiosity, or to learn how to have sex. But slowly, it turns into an addiction. Then it becomes a need. We don't feel like to sleep until we watch a porn. And that's not it. Watching porn never really satisfies us, so we always feel horny somewhere inside. Whenever we look at the opposite sex, we start looking at things we are not supposed to look at. The way we look at the opposite sex starts to change."
He turned to Lovereet, "Did it ever happen to you?"
Lovereet looked at Charlie, and said in a low voice, "Sometimes. And I instantly cursed myself for having such thoughts. And made sure to not have them again. But I never realized that was happening because of the porn."
