How has Porn Culture Influenced and Pervaded Mainstream Culture ??

[Facial_King]

Also, the fact that anal has also become the holy grail of the sexual experience for a lot of people also seems to come from the rise in popularity it has gained in porn. Or is it infact the other way around, does porn follow societies trends or vice-vera?

Men wanting to give their women facials, the super big boobs and bleached blonde look, increase in anal sex among heterosexual couples, men buying big dick pills and devices because they are comparing themselves to pornstars, hetero girls kissing, the shaved bald pussy, people recording themselves having sex..........:yinyang:

You just know that I've got to address the which-came-first-(haha)-the-chicken-or-the-egg aspect of porn and cum facials.

I highly, highly doubt that cum facials were unheard of before porn. I suspect that many men, many couples, engaged in such activities before porn came along. After all, you're having oral sex, you ejaculate, it's more than possible that as you pull out of her mouth it will shoot out onto her face. Some women will think it's fun or funny, some will find it arousing (admittedly, probably not many at all), some will be willing/happy to do it for their man's pleasure, and some will just tolerate it, while others will forbid it.

I think it would take a silly man and a gullible woman to make (or swallow -haha) the argument that hey, it's in porn, so real people everywhere are doing it. But still, I think porn does follow and reflect both what does happen in reality and what happens in men's fantasies, and how both of those things evolve.

:2 cents:

If Social Critics are correct--and women continue to outnumber men by about 60% - 40% in college and the workplace--and if we take this to be true, then isn't it reasonable to assume that the porn industry will be completely flipped? Meaning: In 30 years, Male pornstars will be marketed as female pornstars are marketed today?

Good thread..

It has been claimed that porn has influenced our culture via our technology: though video, pay-per-view porn on cable & satellite TV, DVD and other optical disc types, the Internet, and computer-generated pornography.

According to wikipedia, the porn industry has been considered influential in deciding format wars in media, including being a factor in the VHS vs. Betamax format war (the videotape format war) and in the Blu-ray vs. HD DVD format war (the high-def format war).

It would be interesting to research further and learn the actual truth in this.

In mainstrem movies you have that "Zack And Miri Make A Porno" ( which I guess has Katie Morgan in it too ), which I believe should have had another title because it was shown at theaters where kids went to see other shows and they were exposed to this one - I know you can't hide kids from everything, but I see no reason why some six year old should ask his mom and or dad "What does "porno" mean?" when they went to see some Disney movie.

Also, the word "cougar" was not in mainstream until porn came out with Seduced By A Cougar - I may be wrong on that one.
