My mother is a retired police officer who sometimes worked on homicide investigations.
She once pointed out to me that the way police work is portrayed on TV series is very different from what police officers do when investigating a homicide. And with good reason: If TV showed an accurate version of how murders are solved (or often enough not), it would be really, really boring to watch. On the other hand a real-life murder investigation can be quite harrowing because somebody actually died by the hand of another person. That element is very hard to reproduce, which is why death is portrayed so banally in crime programs.
The relation between porn and real-life sexuality is strikingly similar, is it not?
- dreen 9y agoYes, and I think that is the most important point about porn: it has very little to do with actual sex, it's not even supposed to be realistic. The best way I've seen that explained is car chases in movies. They are made to look exciting, but they are also very obviously unrealistic. Once you understand this, you can look at porn as an entertainment product and nothing more, which I think is the healthy way to approach it.
