90. There are problems with porn

Porn is catered to men, who are very visually stimulated. Thus, they feature positions that show women in all kinds of positions
that may be very erotic for a man to look at - but don't do much for the satisfaction of women in the real world. Legs bent over your head, positions that provide little, if any clitoral stimulation - the problem with this - men think this is what women want, not remembering that these women are paid actors. No foreplay either, just lots of visually stimulating eye candy. It also puts pressure on women to try to fulfill these fantasies for men (ever read all the womens magazines with titles like 'How to please him , 2001 positions to make him crazy)...

Porn takes the romance away from sex by objectifying the body to the point of a science anatomy chart.

It causes tensions, in real world relationships, many women feel they aren't enough for the man they love, when
they have to watch other women having sex to be sexually satisfied.

Look, I am not saying to ban porn. I have watched a lot of these discussions about porn, & the people who like porn refuse
to acknowledge that there can be any sort of problem with it. I have talked to a lot of women who have been very hurt by the
use of pornography by their partner. Almost all women I know have been in a relationship at one time or another that has been affected by this issue.

Porn has real world consequences. Let's just be honest about this fact.
