Found an article I thought was interesting, wanted to share it with y'all. You can find it at http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_binks/20031103.html.
Here's some quotes:
Ottawa sex therapist Sue McGarvie warns, "Explicit material for males between 10 and 17 is bad. If you have early exposure, it skews your view of real sex in a negative way. You have difficulties with intimacy. The problem with young men – and I have treated a bunch of these guys – who looked at porn, is that if your only images of women are of perfect women and women in adult movies then you have an unrealistic expectation of what real sex is like. You end up with rapid tolerance of what's new, different, unique."
...
Laura Berman, a sex therapist and the director of the Berman Center in Chicago, appeared on ABC recently saying that men who grow up watching these images and seeing them as real are disappointed by real women and real experiences.
What do you guys think? Personally, ever since I went cold turkey in September I've found it a lot easier to talk to all kinds of girls, since I'm not judging them against unrealistic models I'd see on the 'net.
