It also can ruin it by not being able to tell reality from fantasy.

I saw a documentary about people addicted to online video games. The counselors interviewed said that those people usually feel more shame than those addicted to online porn since porn addiction is more common and somewhat more relatable.




I'm glad you brought this up and I second this. I expect "moves" that don't (appear to) satisfy women if it is BDSM porn, but the lack of attention to the women's sexual needs in vanilla porn is probably the biggest problem that I have with porn in general. Of course it looks like she is having a blast, but IRL, those token moves don't get that response.






This is the problem with the various types of porn- it's difficult to have a conversation on the same page. I don't know any of the people or companies you mentioned above.

The main problem that I have with porn- it creates a culture of entitled and confused men and unsatisfied and confused women who think there is something wrong with them if they're not screaming like bad actresses.




I agree 100% although those "moves" should be clarified for such a poll.
Well, lol, I can't really post it on here. However, I'll just say speed. Guys get speed totally wrong because of porn.

One thing that bothers me about it is that there are a lot of sleazy people exploiting hurt/damaged/addicted women. When I was younger, I didnt think about that, but older, I just feel like I am aiding and abetting a culture of bad stuff just be clicking on it. Sort of takes the fun out of it,

The one movie we watched Hot Girls Wanted one of the girls said something interesting. I'm having sex already & it's not a big deal so I might as well get paid for it. Considering the society we live in today to some extent I get what she's saying. They see girls in videos & on TV buying expensive things & going to parties & they want that life. Even more those coming from a small town. I remember a teen seeing an adult theater every so often so porn has become very mainstream but I don't think it's any worse then it was then.

I haven't watched porn in a very long time. I think the closest thing my wife and I have watched was a documentary about that prostitution place in Nevada. As I get older, I tend to care less and less about that stuff. I think I stopped watching porn when I was in my 20's. I started looking at Hustler and Playboy when I was 12, 13.

I am the live and let live type. I don't care what people do, the less restrictions on humanity the better. I think prostitution should be legal. That is what people want, you would have less angry young men who are frustrated in America. American's are too uptight about bodies and such. We all have the same stuff. Everyone is having sex, obviously just look at the world population. So, no porn is not a bad thing in my humble opinion.

When people say "well there has always been some form of porn" they are being disingenuous lol. Of course that's true but it has never been more graphic,easily accessible, and mainstream. It's basically sex Ed now. By the time the average young man has seen his first naked female body in real life he's seen thousands online.


I remember John Mayer made a comment saying every morning he's seen 600 vaginas on line and people got mad at him, but it's true
