I don't know, I'm very sex-positive and I enjoy porn. Sometimes I even learn new things I like from it. I don't think for a minute that it's real and I would not apply it to vanilla people (my more kinky friends however yes if I know they're into something).

I don't really think my stepsister will get stuck in the washing machine. Does it form sexual behaviour and practices? Probably yes. I'm sure a lot of people try squirting now, which was popularised in porn. Is that bad? No, I don't think so at all. Why would it be? Sex knows fashions just like other human behaviour.

The really crazy one is oral sex. It's become so accepted and ubiquitous that if you don't like it, you're the weird one. But if you stop to think about it, it's clearly a kink.

Yes I know that oral was not practiced a lot in the past within marriages in particular (though during the war in brothels I'm sure it was). But why do you think it's particularly kinky?

I agree in terms of deep throating, that's a bit of a kink and I personally don't like doing it (even as the one being deep throated). That was popularized by its namesake movie I think.

But normal oral how is that so kinky? I personally love it, it's a lot more gentle than regular sex. And it tastes so good 🤭 I even love doing that for hours (both ways) and skipping the penetration part altogether. 😋 But oral kinda feels like it's meant to be done.

It's not really a modern thing as such either. The kama sutra features a ton of it, including gay and lesbian versions.

It's not about people thinking whether it's fiction or not, it's about whether porn is the only way these people will be confronted to something they don't know and have biases against and, yes, porn is fiction, but you're presuming that everybody has a sane approach to fiction. Have you not been in a post-truth regime enough, yet?
