21 Men Reveal How Porn Shaped Their Views Of Sex<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

In an age of unprecedented access to pornography, there seems to be one central — and polarizing — question: Is porn detrimental or benign<\/a> to the way young men<\/a> learn about and understand their sexuality?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s a question that’s been tricky to answer, given the range of experiences<\/a> men<\/a> have with porn. Much of the research out there points to porn as a source of relationship strain<\/a> and the cause of infidelity<\/a> and sexual dissatisfaction<\/a>. Other studies, however, have found that porn has no effect on sexual functioning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Opinions on the matter vary, too: Many Americans — 71 percent<\/a>, according to a 2014 survey — think porn is morally unacceptable, while others consider it a matter of erotic rights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When it comes to porn, what we do<\/em> know is that a good sexual education outside of viewing pornography<\/a> has become increasingly important — as many men<\/a> learn, porn isn’t always such a good indicator<\/a> of what sex<\/a> IRL is like. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To gain a little insight on how men<\/a> interpreted their first glimpses of porn, we (unscientifically) polled our male readers<\/a>, asking them to tell us how they thought it shaped their sexual development. Within 24 hours, we received nearly 150 responses.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some men<\/a> said they learned about sex<\/a> through early Internet-era downloads, while others caught their first glimpse of nudity via stolen issues of Hustler.<\/em> And everyone who responded seemed to get something different out of the experience. How a guy<\/a> interpreted the porn he saw really depended on the guy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s what 21 men<\/a> had to say: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. “I mostly learned about sex<\/a> from porn, rather than sex<\/a> ed.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was in 5th grade when I first looked up porn, around the same time I got the Internet. It wasn’t necessarily monumental moment — I still didn’t understand how to have sex<\/a>. All I knew was that it looked like rolling around naked<\/a> and kissing. I mostly learned about sex<\/a> from porn, rather than sex<\/a> ed. I didn’t talk with my parents about it, and my friends and I didn’t really talk about it until we were all doing it.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. “I ended up having more questions than answers.”<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 12, and I ended up having more questions than answers.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. “I find it very demeaning towards women<\/a>, so I can’t stand it.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 21 and I was kinda disgusted with most kinds of clips. I still am. I am a 101 percent heterosexual straight guy<\/a>, but I find it very demeaning towards women<\/a>, so I can’t stand it. That’s not how I look at sex<\/a>. Though I do like the [porn] where the woman<\/a> is “treated well” and is at least enjoying it, rather than being treated as a sex<\/a> object.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. “Sex for me was more intimate and personal; porn was not.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was maybe 7 years old and found pornographic magazines in my parents’ bedroom. For whatever reason, however, I don’t feel it influenced my view of sex<\/a> when I began to be sexually active at age 15 — though I could be wrong about that. Sex for me was more intimate and personal; porn was not, and the two largely remained separate, if that is possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. “I wanted to see if I got stimulated by gay<\/a> sex<\/a>.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 15. I had at quite a young age realized I was gay<\/a>, so I wanted to see if I got stimulated by gay<\/a> sex<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. “I thought I was supposed to be built like those guys<\/a> and have sex<\/a> like they did.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 11, and I had no clue what sex<\/a> was until I saw [porn]. The influence was detrimental. For a long time, I thought what I saw in porn was normal. I thought I was supposed to be built like those guys<\/a> and have sex<\/a> like they did. When the time came for me to actually have sex<\/a>, I realized I was worrying over nothing. Real sex<\/a> was nothing like what I saw.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. “Porn has made me curious and understanding of the female<\/a> body.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 8 when I found my dad’s stash of Hustler mags in a drawer in the bathroom. Porn has made me curious and understanding of the female<\/a> body, and taught me how to be a sensual, open-minded and exciting partner. I think it’s just normal human instinct to be sexual and seek out sexual things. Erotica and porn can be used in healthy ways or negative, just like anything else.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. “It made me feel like a girl<\/a> would never have sex<\/a> with me, because I was overweight and the male<\/a> actor was not.”
<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was around 12 or 13. <\/span><\/strong>It made me feel like a girl<\/a> would never have sex<\/a> with me, because I was overweight and the male<\/a> actor was not.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. “I found different things hot about black or white women<\/a>, and started noticing early on that whiteness got higher production quality.”
<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was <\/span>13 and it led to me wondering a lot about how sexuality would even work along lines of race. <\/span><\/strong>I found different things hot about black or white women<\/a>, and started noticing early on that whiteness got higher production quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. “Watching porn influenced me to experiment with other kids my age.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 11 and I was exhilarated! Watching porn influenced me to experiment with other kids my age, and it helped me understand what sex<\/a> was to a degree.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

11. “I think it may have cost me a relationship or two.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I first experienced porn at the age of 10. I quite literally wanted to try everything the actors did. In hindsight, I think it may have cost me a relationship or two.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

12. “It gave me what turned out to be a very false idea of what having sex<\/a> would be like.”
<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 13 when I had my first experience with porn. It gave me what turned out to be a very false idea of what having sex<\/a> would be like. It wasn’t until I actually experienced sex<\/a> for the first time that I really realized that using porn as a how-to guide does not work.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

13. “It made me wrongfully perceive sex<\/a> as an object or activity for pure leisure.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 12. It made me wrongfully perceive sex<\/a> as an object or activity for pure leisure, with no emotional value attached whatsoever.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

14. “It made me think all women<\/a> liked to give oral sex<\/a>.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was <\/span>12 years old. It made me think all women<\/a> liked to give oral sex<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

15. “I think it confirmed my fear that all men<\/a> wanted was sex<\/a> all the time and women<\/a> could take it or leave it.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I saw a Hustler magazine at age 12 when a friend showed it to me. I think it confirmed my fear that all men<\/a> wanted was sex<\/a> all the time, and women<\/a> could take it or leave it. It made women<\/a> seem very powerful to me.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

16. “It influenced me to always try to please my partner.”<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was probably 9. It influenced me to always try to please my partner.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

17. “Sometimes it’s fun to act like a porn star and try some more daring things.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was probably 11 or 12 when I found a bunch of magazines and a VHS of a porn from the ‘70s in the barn on my family’s land. Sometimes it’s fun to act like a porn star and try some more daring things, and ejaculate on women<\/a> other than in them or in a condom.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

18. “I was baffled that real breasts weren’t perfectly round.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was between 9 and 10. When I got older, I was baffled that real breasts weren’t perfectly round.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

19. “Porn made it seem like sex<\/a> was something you did to someone else or had done to you, instead of being a shared experience of intimacy.”
<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was a child, couldn’t have been older than 8 or 9. My friend’s father had magazines stacked under the coffee table, and we would look at them when there weren’t any parents around. Porn made it seem like sex<\/a> was something you did to someone else or had done to you, instead of being a shared experience of intimacy.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

20. “Porn gave me a more relaxed view of sex<\/a>.<\/strong> “
<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 20 years old. It was my sophomore year in college, and I had this huge crush on a girl<\/a>. Things were getting serious, so I sought porn out to help me feel less awkward when the time came. Porn gave me a more relaxed view of sex<\/a>. <\/span>I didn’t think it was something to take too seriously. It helped me feel more comfortable talking to women<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

21. “I learned a lot on how to keep it interesting in bed.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was 14 when I first watched porn. I learned a lot on how to keep it interesting in bed.<\/span><\/p>\n
