No, my husband, nor I are or ever have been addicted to porn, much less used it at any time. Aware of it, yes, more and more in our world. It is shoved down your throat even if you aren't a participating customer buying it. It's everywhere.
I do have two grown daughters, who have experiences with this part of society, mostly in a negative way. We talk openly with our kids about this, and they come to us with a lot of thier issues when it comes to men these days.
Just as a young woman in her 20's usually does not need a lubricant, IF the sex is handled in the proper way, nor do young men in their 20, 30, 40, or even 50's usually need viagra in order to preform sex at any given time. Especially in the 20's. But that too, has become a staple in the sexual lives of the youth.
At some point I would think people would get a clue on this stuff and realize they are eventually going to become desensitized to the effects of porn, sex as whole. Young women, today, and this is fact, are more and more aware that unless they measure up to the standards in the world of porn, they will not measure up to the demands made of them in relationships with real men wanting UNreal women. Young men are facing real hurdles when it comes to actually being involved in honest sexual relationships because they do not equal what they are seeing inside porn.
Young men are having real difficulties with the reality of sex, they can't possible have sex for hours on end over and over again without the assistance of sex enhancing drugs. The black market is full of millions of dollars of sales of viagra. Who are the customers, young men are. Young, very very young girls are faced with going into a regular everyday super store and there is nothing available to them unless it's a thong, or lacy bra, or boy shorts, everything reflects a sexual side to it. Nothing is available anymore unless it portrays them as sexual beings. And I am talking about very young, little girls, not teenagers!
We are an overly bombarded society with sex on every corner. It no longer means anything. We expect young teenage boys to sit in classrooms and learn, with seeing the bare stomaches and bulging breasts of the girl in front of them. All this is "normal" today. And if you are not "in with" that style then you are not the normal person anymore. Is there a connection to the reason that females are out doing in grades and subject such as math and science, while young men are falling to the waste of this thinking? I don't know, just an observation. Are younger and younger women, in their teens having breast implants for their 16th birthday parties doing this to "feel good about themselves" or is this in anyway our society telling them that unless their breast are fake and look like melons shoved under skin, they are not normal anymore?
Come on, do none of these things apparent to us as humans? Or is the insignificant meaning of sexual relationships just that, meaningless? What portrays this to us on a daily basis? And where will this be in say 10 years, even 5 years? And are young people to day even remotely concerned about this when thinking about their little girls and boys they may someday raise in this society?
