[Poll] Asked your SO to try something because you saw it in Porn?

Have you asked your SO to try something because you saw it in Porn?

This isn't a religious "holierthanthou" rant thread but one that should make people think.

It's a fact that more anal sex occurs in heterosexual relationships than homosexual ones. But what most people don't think about is where the initial idea comes from "to try it". The likelihood that it was something you heard your mate mention down at the pub is slim. Exposure to fantasies such as bondage, threesome's from lesbian porn, dogging, 'rape fantasy' and all that other stuff, I think, are much more likely to come from people seeing it on the web and then wanting to replicate what they see in real life with real people, their SO or others.

Should be interesting to see how many people let other people [read as 'the internet'] define their sex lives. Define who/what we find sexually attractive.

As Luther says to Ripley:
DCI Luther: Do you have any sexual fantasies?
DS Ripley: What? Yeah, not that I'm gonna tell you about.
DCI Luther: Does the reality ever live up to the fantasy?
DS Ripley: Well, I, um— well, no, no, not really.
DCI Luther: Yeah, it can't, can it?
Lets be honest, you're better off learning about sex from porn than from the pathetically unrealistic sex ed lessons in this country. They probably don't even include most of the things you mention, so how are you meant to know about them if not from porn?
And actually if you find a compatible partner the reality is often far, far, far better than the fantasy.
I don't need to -- he's the one who's already seen it all, done it all, and now he wants me to do it all with him. We both came into our relationship knowing he's the more curious/kinky/sexually adventurous one in our relationship so I dont need to go to him and say "I wanna try this, this and this" because he's always been like "I've done this, this and this and I really enjoyed it; do you wanna try it, I think you'll enjoy it". He wants me to a bit more "out there" like he is, and I'm cool with that. I prefer him coming to me and telling me to try things because I don't have the guts to approach him about that stuff myself! :innocent:

Protip: stay away from cheating porn (visual or literotica) until you're secure in yourself and your partner. That stuff is pretty intense

Problem is most guys start off wanting to recreate a fantasy and then start imagining the other person being the actress they saw.
The idea of the person you're giving your all to imagining they're with someone else would trouble most people.
The slippery slope argument also applies then of "normal" sex not being enough, with the fantasy never living up reality. It never can.
Yes, but we weren't sure where to acquire a tentacle monster.
I don't think so... And my boyfriend claims to never watch it anyway (I don't understand this... But that's another story) so I doubt he has either. Maybe it's more subliminal than outright suggesting something. Who knows.

"most" guys?

That sounds like a very specific psychological issue you're describing, I can't imagine it effects many people.

Why would anyone want to replicate porn? Real life sex is way more fun than it looks in porn, where half the time both people look completely bored.

Porn also looks painful. There's a lot of 'anal sex' in porn today and a lot of women I have met do not like it. There's a lot of that in Eastern European porn where the women depressingly look exploited, have a guy with a Czech accent barking orders at them and they look as though they're in pain when the guy (or guys) have their dick in them.

Some do, some don't. The key thing is that if it hurts, you're doing it wrong.

I honestly think the number of guys that watch porn and think "wow, being a porn star looks amazing" are a very small minority. Most people are not that stupid, they know that some of the stuff they do in porn is just for the cameras and wouldn't happen in real life.
