But beyond technicalities, adventurous people seek adventurous sex and if they aren't aware of the possibility from external sources, they tend to discover them for themselves. Comfortable people seek comfortable sex, they may know the many things and positions they could do from an external source but they just don't care to try it. I would say that the vast majority of any modern society fits into one of the two categories and is not influenced much by porn, despite what the churches say.
We tend to forget that we are just animals. nothing more, nothing less.
I disagree that it is completely reflective. Porn has been proven to have a massive impact in how people view sex, especially the younger generations. As someone who grew up able to access and watch porn it definitely gave me a warped perception of what sex is like and has influenced me to a great extent. Not in a way that I consider all together good either.
In reference to the OP, I'd say it is both.
