I think Charlatan is basically correct here. The availability of porn to men AND women has greatly changed how we view sex. VCR's and now the internet make the exploration of other sexual activities possible when before you had to go WELL out of your way to find it.

Lets take something like swinging, which used to require a print magazine, placing an add in it, and written letters for couples to get involved. Now there are countless websites where you can explore it from perfect safety. I'll also bet that shaving pubic hair can be traced directly back to porn. Its not the kind of thing most people talk about, yet as the bushes got smaller in porn so did they in a large segment of the general public.

Now the main issue is where does 'ick' begin or perversion.

I think homosexuality is now much more accepted not because of porn, the net, etc, but a change of thought that homosexuality is due to genetic/environmental factors so they can't help it and its a natural thing. Before the thought was you had to WANT to be a homosexual, it was a perversion.

Things like bestiality (ick), adult baby play (ewww), and scat play (ICK!) are still viewed as perversions, there has to be something WRONG with you, you are SICK. I base this on my feeling that wanting to fuck your dog is pretty fucked up, but wanting someone to shit in your mouth is REALLY fucked up.

While perhaps some day you will be able to introduce your dog as your lover without shame, but for a long while I think that 'ick' factor isn't going to move.

I think the next 'ick' slider will be in the realm of multiple marriages, open marriages, and the like. I'm not sure it will even take much to get there. If 2 people can get married, even if same sex, I defy anyone to make an argument why three shouldn't be able to. All arguments for homosexual marriages will apply to all other variants as well. Hell you could argue a 3 way marriage is MORE natural than a homosexual one since you can still produce children. Once gay marriage is accepted in the US (and I think it will be) this will be next.
