(151,410 posts)about internet porn. What is so strange to me about it is how much of it apparently is purely misogynistic and completely the opposite of consensual sexuality. I don't view porn, but have looked at a couple of sites out of curiosity. I've been around for a very long time, and what I see depicted there, for the most part, has little to do with the kind of sexual relationships I've been in.
No woman I've ever known would have tolerated most of what I've seen depicted in the thumbnails I've seen. There's nothing consensual in most of what appears on sites like pornhub.
I truly worry that the adolescent boys who consume much of that porn are getting a completely distorted view of human sexuality. It has to color their expectations and concepts of what people do consensually very darkly, I think. It's troubling.
There was nothing like that when I was growing up. There was pornography, but I rarely, rarely encountered it. Today, just about any google search can turn up porn. It's troubling times to grow up in, I think.
