Roommating Episode 4 – Porn

Joel introduces Erin to pornography.

I never really liked porn.

Ok, sometimes I watch it.

But….I like this episode because it allows Joel and I to explore the viewing preferences of men and women when it comes to pornography or borderline pornography.

What we didn’t touch on is the bigger issue – how pornography has changed the way men and women have sex in the last 25 years. For example,  I doubt in the 60’s I would have felt pressure to say to my lover “come in my face” or “all over my tits” or “i’m your dick hole, use me”.*

I’m not sure what to believe when I read studies about how porn has created hyper-sexual men. But it is interesting that, even in the 90’s, the most porn young kids had access to was watching “Real Sex” (or hearing “Real Sex” and watching static), and now they have access to hours of fisting, shrimping, golden showers, scatting, feet fucking, heavy S&M, women fucking machines, and of course, and stuff where the consent of the people involved is questionable.

* I’ve only said one of these.

Discovering porn will probably be a lot like this for me.
