If you consume as much porn as the next pervert (ok, me!) then you may run the risk of two things:

  1. being desensitised to the true intimacy and sanctity of sex between two ppl who love each other, and
  2. expecting the acts and phenomena that you see in porn films to be replicable in reality.

It is the second thing that concerns a fascinating post on SugarBank, stumbled upon via Wired’s Sex Drive Daily blog. (no pictures but the words are definitely NSFW)

Here’s a snippet of a comment by the blog author about female “squirting”:

The responsibility for testable (as opposed to annecdotal) evidence is always on people making claims. Books full of unproven hypotheses are just elegant speculation. If women are producing such huge volumes of fluid there’s something seriously wrong with our understanding of their reproductive organs and why the hell would such a bizzare thing evolve anyway? If anything a huge gush of fluid would seem to act aginst sperm. Is it nature’s contraceptive?

Oh yeah – why don’t other primates do it? They damn well so everything else sexually (homosexuality, oral etc.) Where’s the literature (pre late 20th century) describing such a natural phenomenon. Plenty of cultures have had very open attitudes to sexual pleasure for centuries but it’s not something in the great erotic literature of Japan or India. I find it hard to reconcile.

So the general conclusion is: don’t believe everything that you see. It’s called “entertainment” for a reason.
