Porn

http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/trends/n_9437/
This article, provided by New York Magazine, speaks about porn and the impact it has on gentleman these days. So, I hear you ask, has it made them sex-made beasts? Or changed our males into animals hungry to get their sexual desires on a plate right here, right now? Andrea Dworkin, a woman famous in the eighties for her anti-porn views predicted 'rape and sexual mayhem.' In fact, New York Magazine claims that porn is actually 'deadening the male libido in relation to real women, and leading men to see fewer and fewer women as porn-worthy.'

I personally see nothing wrong with porn. If people enjoy watching it then that is up to them, those who don't have to watch it, don't have to. Many couples enjoy watching it and just because many people learn new positions from porn this doesn't necessarily make them bad. If it helps both men and women to have an active and enjoyable sex life where both get to fulfill their fantasies, then surely this is a good thing. We all want good sex, maybe thats a crude thing to say, but it's true isn't it!

The article comments on how, porn, particularly via the internet, has heightened mens expectations but I personally don't believe this to be true. I would point out that if a man likes the look of a female, they are attracted to them before they even know what they get up to in the bedroom and since the beginning of time, it is a fact that men and women are attracted to people of a similar attractiveness. Surely what the problem appears to be here is that they feel it is bad that men are developing standards. I would say that although at times it may not be clear, men have always tryed to get as attractive a partner as possible, regardless of what they are like in bed. Anyways, isn't it usually the men who are the ones being 'graded' on their ability in the bedroom? Basically, if people feel that porn is heightening peoples expectations of a partner then so be it, after all it's survival of the fittest in this world, stop whinging and up your game!
