- joezydeco 16y agoYet, if you watched any porn these days, the males are always agressive and the females almost always take the submissive role. The advent of "gonzo" porn hasn't helped matters. This material is training a generation, from puberty, how to act sexually.
- chc 16y agoThe males are usually aggressive because in general both women and men are turned off by the presence of weak men. Related: The actors are almost never horribly disfigured.
- awakeasleep 16y agoYes, you hit on the edge of my complaint about this article, and a lot of the feminist writing I've seen. This article was just a long laundry list of complaints about the way things are without any attempt to suggest a better alternative, or even any questionings about why things are the way they are. Also, I never trust anything written about sex that isn't personal or intimate. What does the author like? What does she think would be better? Is this all conjecture? To make this real, she would have had to get her hands and mind dirty, and that is one thing complainers hate to do.
- sigzero 16y ago"This material is training a generation, from puberty, how to act sexually." Exactly so, and that isn't a good thing at all.
- adovenmuehle 16y agoJust as Call of Duty and other violent games are teaching a generation to act violently?
- joezydeco 16y agoYes, if the player happens to be called to war and has to engage in battle. They are being shown what to expect, including the points where CoD doesn't simulate real life war situations. By my original point the watching of modern porn has trained young men to expect 100% willing partners, shaved body parts, intense libidos, and guaranteed orgasms with little to no reciprocity. That's going to lead to a lot of failed sexual relationships.
- mfukar 16y agoActually, I think most people are able to realize that games don't portray reality.
- joezydeco 16y agoSo do they think the same thing about internet porn?
- mfukar 16y agoI don't know, but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say yes, based on the same general idea: if someone is smart enough to figure out that the (most) scenarios depicted in computer games are fantasy [1], I don't see any reason for her to not think the same about porn, science fiction, painting, poetry.. [1] Of course, art often draws its themes from life and experience - sometimes exaggerated, others downplayed. Whether any of those themes depict the norm, I'm not able to say.
- anamax 16y ago> Yet, if you watched any porn these days, the males are always agressive and the females almost always take the submissive role. There is tons of male submissive porn. Google "femdom", "mistress porn", and so on. There are several genres, including male-sub BDSM, cuckolding, tease and denial, and so on. People sexualize everything, so saying "there's no {x} porn" is false for almost all values of x. (Google "balloon porn" and "clown porn" for examples.)

True, there's even Lego porn.
- kiba 16y agoIt does not mesh well with how I would act in the real world.
- pjscott 16y agoThis whole discussion is suffering from a crippling lack of statistics. Contrary to what the author of the article may think, you really can't build an indictment of male sexuality based entirely on personal anecdotes and cherry-picked internet porn.
