Wow, this was refreshing to read... a guy who isn't justifying the effect of porn on his view of sex with a real woman. Not saying that all guys think this way, but it's a rare guy who 'fesses up to the effect of the influx of porn on his life (and I agree, MechCow, that both the substance and availability of porn has increased exponentially since thousands or even hundreds of years ago... anyone who says differently is justifying something).
Now, just as a disclaimer, I watch quite a bit of porn myself, as a woman... and it has certainly affected the way I see other men, women, and having sex with them. But I think it has increased my sexual awareness and made me more aggressive (especially when masturbating) because I didn't even think about sex or start masturbating until I was about 22-23. So, porn and masturbation have helped me become a more sexual being, in moderation.
But to address the OP: When you get off to porn, does that make you feel more "sensitive?" Or does it actually make you more aggressive, as you said? Interesting.
