The problem with porn being unrealistic, as opposed to car chases being unrealistic, is that there are other medium to "learn" to drive.
But there are other ways to learn to have sex, outside of porn. Or am I not following?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Robson Green was charm personified on The Kumars at 42.
I miss the days when BBC America was all-Robson all-the-time (Trust, Wire, Take Me) -- but my favourite is Me & Mrs Jones. Hey! In May, they're showing Second Sight with our other shared boyfriend.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Steph, I think it's that youth often get their first view of what sex is "really" like from porn. (I first saw a Playboy at 12 or 13, which means I can only imagine what today's Internet-capable pubescents can get access to.) And porn is so different from reality that it can skew expectations.

Maybe I just didn't consume enough porn, or I have an unrealistic sex life, but it was an easily correctable issue.
Movie love isn't like real life love either, is it? Not to mention apartment rentals and wardrobes.

Same here. I don't blame diappointing sex on the expectations generated by porn; I blame it on not enough practice/too much booze/too much ego.

But movie fighting is exactly like real fighting, right?

too much ego.

It is just like Midol + codeine, as in it has 50mg of caffeine per tablet.
My lord. It's the world's most perfect drug.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Kids are also more likely to see real life love, financial stuff, and fighting than sex.
