The Porn Myth

Is porn suppose to turn you on? Yes, but according to Naomi Wolf, the author of The Beauty Myth, it actually turns you off the real thing. On New York magazine, she argues about the negatives of porn.

The young women who talk to me on campuses about the effect of pornography on their intimate lives speak of feeling that they can never measure up, that they can never ask for what they want; and that if they do not offer what porn offers, they cannot expect to hold a guy. The young men talk about what it is like to grow up learning about sex from porn, and how it is not helpful to them in trying to figure out how to be with a real woman.

Interesting read, and convincing points made.
