Ignorant piece written by an ignorant woman.
Newsflash: Men don't ask for anal because of porn. People have been doing that long before the porn industry became a billion dollar empire
As was custom before the age of pornography, like in Ancient Greece or the like...
Uh.
Isn't that special?

Like in ancient Greece when it was accepted to have a child as a sexual partner?

Or German. Those are some sick fucks over there
Of course, you may be a woman, and you may enjoy all of these things and more. Human sexuality is varied and fluid and experimentation is to be encouraged.
And the closing especially:
Choking, bondage, spanking, flogging, dom/sub stuff and the like isn't everyone's cup of tea. Porn does pretty much make it seem like all wimmin are into it.
They aren't.
And it's not a good idea to either give it a try without discussing it first, or to give it a try if your partner doesn't consent. In fact if it's the latter it is criminal and abhorrent.
As an 'uneducated' kid- it's a bit more in a gray area IMO. I can't really disagree with your point, though.
However, I do wonder how much the idea that those things- even with consent- in and of themselves are "weird" or "bad" or only enjoyed by those with "problems" influences your opinion.
C'mon. Porn's intended for adults, at a bare minimum it's usually consumed by people who are at least teenagers, who understand the difference between fantasy (what you see on film, TV/movies) and reality.
And anyone who hasn't come across a woman who was a total freak before she met you has not gotten around enough. Pretty sure they didn't pick it up at porn school either.
And before we had the internet and porn, where did we find out about sex? From word of mouth from other teenagers, and probably developed a similar warped opinion of what women wanted and did.
I don't think the situation is as dire as it's made out in the article. I do think sex education would help, but it would have helped before internet porn just as much as it would now.

That previous poster was right. Humans have been around for a long time and are obsessed with getting off. There's not a way to do it (with or without a partner) that your great-great-great grandparents didn't know of unless it involved technology not yet invented. If you don't believe me, look at the frescos in Pompeii or cave paintings.
Seagulling sounds like a urban myth. There are so many logistical problems with that scenario that I doubt it was ever successfully attempted.
We are not machines!
Not sure how different their sex education is, just figured I'd point that out.
Depends on the woman.
That was before the youtube-porn era that's been very popular for like the last 5 or 6 years. Its a pretty big deal. The youtube porn sites that is. Its literally driving the porn industry out of business, its ridiculous. Its like downloading music. Who the fuck is going to pay (no matter how cheap) for a single or even an album when its so damn easy to get for free? A curious 8 year old kid could easily get into that material if he finds it by accident. Its kind of disturbing, but reality.
I grew up as a teenager in the 00s and video browsing wasn't as big then as it is now. The only thing I did was sneak up late at night (even as a kid) to watch cinemax and look at the softcore porn. There were no youtube porn sites. It was just 'preview' videos of sites you had to pay for. Going thru puberty I did the same as everyone else my age, look at those very sexy video vixen models. To be honest I barely understood sex I would watch, all I cared about was big breasts and nice round asses.
I don't know if seeing porn at a young age affected me all that much. I just never got into all those sick genres someone else mentioned, or I guess I couldn't find it. I just didn't have a great understanding, I didn't even know what anal specifically really was until I was like 17. Stuff just blended in. I don't think porn makes very young teenagers have sex, that stuff just naturally comes with puberty. To get into weird strange sexual fetishes? I suppose. But I think it has just as much to do with the individual. I remember watching a 90s jerry springer episode of a guy paying a woman so he can be her 'sex slave'. Shit like that can't be just porn by itself. Not that porn helps, but theres more
I will say this though. Looking at models really warped my expectations regarding women's bodies. Its easy to get disappointed once you face reality. Stretchmarks, small nonsurgically repaired breasts, skin discolorations, birth marks... Yuck. I definitely regret watching it though because it really builds up bad expectations. But I never would force any kind of fantasies on someone. Love women too much for that
Call me old fashioned.
Cocktails on the veranda>lovely meal with flowers and champagne>long romantic walk on the beach>anal (seagulling optional)
....like a flock of seagulls?
What are these "sick genres" you're talking about?
According to what I read, Roman Polanski.
