Nice to see everyone exchanging opinions. Brakeman is right - I did say world sexuality, but I really meant along the lines of trends which would encompass individual sexuality.
It seems to me that porn leads rather than follows. In the effort to attract more customers they have gotten steadily more extreme. When I was a lad it was magazines with pictures of naked women, with body hair (yeah - the '70's and early '80's). There were no men in the pictures at all. When men were introduced it was without erections.
Now not only can you see any possible sexual act but you can see it in video and for free. You only pay if you want it in full HD.
The vast majority of women portrayed are shaven - that was almost unheard of when I was in my teens. I can't say for sure the trend came from porn but it does seem to be that way.
Anal sex (man woman). Didn't even cross my horizon till I was well in my twenties. Even then it was something guys wanted and women most certainly didn't. Of all my friends in steady relationships none claimed their wives/ SO's would allow them - and it would have been some bragging rights in the group if they did claim it and were believed.
Deep throating - unheard of except in relation to discussions on Linda Lovelace - porn star. It was very much regarded as her being one of the few in the world that could. None of us even thought of asking our other halves to give it a try - we thought they'd choke to death.
Now no-one bats an eyelid at any of the above (and I could continue the list). One could argue these things are now expected.
I'd say, for better or worse, its porn driven.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
