There is so much porn that people watch what they want to watch rather than what they are fed, whatever you want to find you can find. So the only way it shapes society is that now people are aware of everything you can do in sex and what their preferences are, it doesn't create those preferences it just makes them known.

I don't think it's true for porn or for any of the above things that people "do what they want" in any serious sense of the term. It might be true in some sort of world without advertising, where media is presented neutrally, and barriers to creating and sharing (porn, music, plays, books, etc) are low, and we all explore and pick what we liked from these media sources in a deliberate, thoughtful way. But that is so very, very far from the world we're in, surely? Or a different way to make the point, just compare a pre-internet and post-internet kid. What did pre-internet kids know of sex when they were 14 or 15? And post-internet? This is a quick and easy example, but surely it's a major shift?

Yes, people listen to a wider range of music and watch a wider range of videos than ever before today, because there is a wider range available. Most people are drawn to the same kind of content though so many people consume very similar things.
