This made me think of the dynamic going on in Japan, where so many young adults are just put off by sex in general. I wonder how much of that stems from how out-there porn is there. Men read it out in public. And a lot of it is very disgusting.

Who wouldn't get fed up with that kind of crap going on? Seeing the 'sexy empowered feminist' PR being proved a lie all around you, day in and day out?

I saw a documentary from the BBC about porn addicts who got to go on dates with their favorite porn stars, and one of them said that he first started watching porn at 12, and although he'd slept with 60 women, he only got off with about a third of the time. It wasn't until he was on his date with his favorite porn star and she suggested that his porn use might be connected to his sex life that it occurred to him that there might be a connection.

As many others have said we are conducting a huge experiment on younger generations. Most adults are too oblivious / concerned with their own incomes / concerned with their own orgasms to give a shit. And many state they have no problem with others using porn although they don't, but they won't lift a finger to educate themselves about what it is they're defending, or how easy it is for kids to access.
