Question:
Does Porn reflect sexuality in our world or does it influence it?
I am of the opinion it is the latter but there is also a case for saying that people are simply being a lot more open about their sexual preferences.
Note: I am not referring to gender preferences or orientation but to the sexual activities they are willing to perform.
This could take 2 forms. The first are activities that a person was aware of but wasn't prepared to do (take anal sex for example) and the second would be things that they were not aware of that they saw in a porn video and then decided to try.
Just my thoughts here:
Porn is a "for profit" industry. Therefore, what is made has to "sell". If it does not, it will be made no longer.
So I would say that porn reflects rather than influences it; tho I suppose the influence may be a secondary effect of it.
People don't go to heaven when they die; they're taken to a special room and burned.
