I'd be inclined to wonder, first, whether there are people who "only see &c., &c., through cheaply crafted pornography,", and, second, whether that's the fault of said cheaply crafted pornography, or whether instead you're mixing up your correlation with your causation. I mean, if all you know about someone is that he has no good taste either in personal relationships or in pornography, you can't safely assume that the latter caused the former; he could just be a cheap and tasteless cad.
- agumonkey 13y agoI meant that there are people who never had any physical relationships whatsoever with other people and only know about it through videos. Also, I didn't really mean to pass judgement on porn, but I think we can agree that most of nowadays porn is a very cheap product (both in price and in ideas) from an industry. AFAIK in the 80s it was less so, hence I'd grade them less cheap. I don't see where I implied any causation. If I may rephrase the question: what are the effect on a growing mind whose only experience about intimate/sexual relationship is alone watching videos.
