Many boys are introduced to sexuality through the internet how does this shape their expectations?

Question

I specified boys, I suppose, because boys tend to watch it more than girls. How do you think this affects their expectations in sexual relationships with women in later years?

You can address girls' expectations as well.

Answer 1

i grew up listening to howard stern. i was warped into thinking that all men viewed women as s*x objects. i started to hate all men n was ashamed of myself n hated the idea i was created for men;s sick selfish pleasure.

i was wrong in my thinking n realized later that tv n the such warped my mind. so i imagine that all those other things online really tarnish young ones today.

Answer 2

How do you know boys watch it more than girls??? Maybe girls do it more secretively... LOL

Depends what they're watching. Softcore p**n (half-naked or naked pretty girls posing) is different from hardcore s*x acts, and then there is the really bad stuff like kiddie p**n and the bizarre.

I think watching p**n both educates and at the same time poisons. I learned nothing in Biology at school and with Victorian parents and a staunch Catholic upbringing, without some access to p**n (Penthouse, Playboy magazines) I wouldn't have known which way was up. So from that limited point of view, p**n is good. Unfortunately, it comes bundled with stereotyping of body shape and gender roles and sends messages that range from the merely incorrect to the outright bizarre and harmful.

What we need is p**n that shows s*x in it's natural form and within the bounds of a loving relationship, with women who don't look like models with 38 DD b*****s and child-bearing hips, and men who don't look like Adonis and hung like horses. p**n is extremist and unreal. And that's what makes it poisonous. It sets up expectations that most women and men don't want to have to (or can't) live up to. It also (usually) shows women in a submissive, exploited sense. Wrong message.

Unfortunately, in the absence of a private, guided, structured, easy-to-access and non-embarrassing reference source, the Internet is all there is for either gender to learn from.

Ok HUGE topic in modern society. I myself as many others around me, have had thoughts about what s*x would be like after watching all this p**n, all the sexual content on shows, all the changes in society etc, and after having s*x felt like... "i thought it was suppose to be woahh..."

it had that affect on me and wasnt as special as what it could have been saddly

Answer 4

Errr...Yeah, Boys watch "it" more than girls. But it's not like we "expect" anything in later years. We just let it run normally and whatever happens, Happens. I know some girls that watch "it" to and nothing changes them.. Hope this helped, good luck.
