    Hi all, I'm new here so I wanted to make a thread for the discussion of something I have noticed from reading peoples comments, and certain threads that have been posted.
    This is the belief that porn is responsible for all forms of sex, except missionary sex and kissing.
    First things first, there is some demographic differences, which influence a persons perception of sex.
    Views of sex differ around the world
    It is my understanding, that many people on this site are from the USA, and from hearing many things about American culture growing up, and seeing it in media and online, I get the feeling that it is quite a conservative country when it comes to sex, with religious practice being common, and thus influencing on a persons perception of sex. It is also a place with many sub-cultures for the taboo.

    I'm from the UK, and growing up in a South London suburb, the only kids that were really openly known to be religious where the Muslims, Hindus and Black British people that were mainly Christian. Basically, it was very much a minority it seemed, barely anyone I knew ever went to church and it was never a common practice among anyone I knew. Now this could of been different in other areas of the UK, but I have lived in the Southwest and South east, and it is still not so common. It was viewed as weird and kind of alien to see how religious Americans seemed to be, compared to the UK and other European countries. In the eyes of a British person, it seems European countries are far more taboo and liberal on sex than we are.

    Now I think a lot of sexual practice has been heavily dictated by religion, and I here a lot of people online saying things are dirty and unclean, and I believe that many of these ideas have root in religion and where you grew up. Now, that doesn't mean for a minute, that you can't be religious and practice many different weird and wonderful things in sex, I think it's more to do with an inherent conservatism that has been practiced.

    Normal sexual practices and fetishes
    It is a myth that porn is responsible for normal and common sexual practices and minor fetishes.
    Oral sex, anal sex, certain positions and various sexual behaviours are normal. Many of these practices would be seen as normal in the UK and in many cultures around the world.
    I believe there is nothing wrong with oral, anal and certain fetishes, and maybe all of them, as long as the people practicing it are comfortable and safe.
    Porn wasn't responsible for all the fetishes I had, it fueled an unhealthy obsession, but I didn't know how much I would/wouldn't enjoy them till I tried them. I enjoy giving oral sex, and I was exposed to that in lesbian porn growing up, but I didn't know that I'd enjoy it until I tried it with my first GF. Oral sex is sometimes the only way a woman can reach orgasm, and it is important to please each other, and not let the belief of it being unclean, to inhibit a healthy sex life.

    Men are often seen be fixated on oral sex performed on them, well I NEVER watched that stuff until I got into my 20's, and even then I didn't enjoy it much. IRL what I actually like about it, is the fact that someone finds you attractive enough to want to do it to you, I don't actually enjoy the feeling a lot. Many of these men I think would of liked receiving a lot without the porn, but the porn created the unhealthy expectation of receiving it.
    Anal sex I was aware of, but I loved looking at women's behinds more so than say breasts, in day to day life, before I got into anal pornography. When I did it IRL, I really enjoyed it, but before trying anal, I already wanted to try anal oral sexual practices because of my own desire to. Again, I see nothing wrong or dirty, as long as both people are clean, in performing oral sex on these areas, because it wasn't porn that got me into the idea of doing, I just wanted to do it. Same with a foot-fetish I have, which is normal to have, and practicing it is more than normal.

    BDSM, role reversals, female-on-male anal sex and all the kama surta positions known are more than safe to practice between two like-minded and consenting adults. The fact that the kama Sutra alone has been around for atleast two-thousand years, makes it likely these forms of sex have been around before then as well.

    The unhealthy effects of porn
    The part porn plays that is unhealthy, is that you view these things you find erotic, and then become addicted to the constant stimulus, without having to obtain it in reality. I do not believe porn induced oral, anal, foot and other minor fetishes in me, I was aware I liked certain body and things before porn, and they were the things I first looked for in porn.

    Fetishes that porn did induce in me, were ones I believe of more mental stimulus, than physical and visual. For example, many men such as myself, get into transgender porn. Nothing wrong with being transgender in my opinion, but I would of never of found that arousing or knew what it was, till I saw it in porn. The reason I became addicted to it, was because I wasn't succeeding with women, and later I had unfulfilling sex lives. I didn't enjoy watching women anymore because I resented them, thus transgender porn gave me that visual stimulation of looking at feminine form, but I knew they weren't "biological women" and so I felt more comfortable viewing it, believing they actually will provide what I am missing in sex with women, and thus wrongly fetishise transgender women. Strangely, I never could watch men and women have sex, being repulsed by seeing a man, but I could watch transgender + men having sex, mentally putting myself in the role of the man. This was clearly to fill a void in my sex life that I felt missing. To be clear, I don't believe any porn use is healthy, but "sissy-hypno" is not an attainable sex life for a straight-male who wants a GF/wife and is a damaging, porn induced fetish.
    Conclusion
    This type of mental control porn can have is potent, and overtime evolves to chase the high. This is why it can develop into 'sissy-hypno' addictions and more This is damaging to someone, because it is a clear violation of normal sex-lives, and ones that are attainable and healthy between two partners. These things cause serious mental issues in people, and can have very adverse affects on their wellbeing. This differs massively from basic things such as fetishes practiced by consenting adults, as well as other acts of sex such as oral. I believe these are necessary for normal people having sex, to please each other, yet still lead normal lives with healthy mental states.
    This is why porn is inherently bad, because it supplements a vital practice in a humans life, and it will evolve into depraved and unrealistic things over-time, which will deform a persons view of sex, far from what is natural and healthy.

    Debate, discuss and critique.
    Thank you.
