For most people, porn is probably fantasy and they don't try to reenact what they see on-screen with their partners or items of household furniture. But a small majority may.



I disagree. I worked as an escort for two and a half years, and I was a stripper for one year before that. So, one could say that I was on the front lines of America's sexual tastes. A majority of men who see escorts try to reenact what they see in porn (dudes, cut the dry finger in the ass thing out - ouch! Ever heard of lube?!). I have been in a monogamous relationship since I quit more than a year ago, and I never had much sex outside of work, so I'm not in a position to say what it's like for civilian women and girls.

I do agree with you that legislating people's sexual tastes would be far worse than the situation we have now. The only answer is education. If Americans were less uptight about sex, we could actually talk about things like fantasies, respecting sexual boundaries, and learning to listen to our partners' cues in high school health classes. But ironically, it's because we're so fucking uptight that gross-out porn proliferates. If we weren't a nation of God-fearing evangelicals, you can bet that porn sales would be a fraction of what they are now.
