Can You Trust Your Johnson? (Is Internet porn making male sexuality more plastic?)

Re: Can You Trust Your Johnson? (Is Internet porn making male sexuality more plastic?

Not news to me.
Before reading similar scientific articles, I had already suspected as much.
From my own personal experience: I watch gay porn almost exclusively, eventhough I am attracted to both genders.
It's probably the same reason some of my female friends watch gay porn: it seems just a bit more genuine as men are very bad at faking it.

I remember watching a video somewhat similar to this. It was about the desensitization of sex towards adolescents due to the increasing availability of internet pornography. While I believe that it definitely affects my 'plastic' attractions, I always find that I have my genuine attractions holding me down regardless.

However, while that is me, I do not believe every person has a good grip on their feelings towards genders and things like fetishes, so there's always gonna be that fear of thinking something isn't genuine whether it is or isn't.

There have been multiple cases in which people have decided to try out gay sex because they had seen it in pornography and was attracted to it. But, the thing that's interesting is that the brain will willingly oblige to any form of sexual interest, which doesn't necessarily mean attraction, because after all, we are human, and there are some aspects about us that are primitive.

But even before internet pornography was more readily available to the public, I still believe that this sort of thing was still pretty well practiced amongst people due to our natural curiosity towards things like this. It's going to happen to the best of people, porn or no porn.

So, in short, while I believe that the increase in porn has increased the chances of your 'attractions' deceiving you, I don't believe that porn itself has caused it. It's been around since we could perform basic functions.

I think some people take sexuality way too damn seriously. xD

Better to call it into question and explore it than lock it in a box and never look at it again.

I think he means don't get so hung up on it and accept that you like what you like, and that's okay.

I experienced the "tolerance" effect with porn, but overall it doesn't mean much to me. I can get off without it almost as easily as with it, so it's just about completely unnecessary. And if I were to graph my attraction to one gender over the other as a function of time, it would probably cross the guys/girls axis repeatedly in a sort of sine curve.

I agree with this, in the "people need to just take things at face value" way.

I once shared this article once... not necessarily sure if I 100% believe it however I will agree that arousal can be misleading... in some occasions.

Mostly in the case of looking at porn as your only means of sexual pleasure and that feeling of pleasure is only encompassed by what porn has told you and made you feel because nobody knows how to pleasure you more than yourself and how you like to feel. Therefor causing a misleading or plastic attraction to be formed and created.
