In my years as a human being, it has become quite clear to me that people can not tell the difference between reality and fantasy.

Well, I don't see life through the eyes of an impeccably well-groomed character in Bret Easton Ellis novel, so I disagree with your perspective, ART.
Lifestyle and socioeconomic status aside, I think people have a pretty firm grasp of reality vs. fantasy. It's why escapist activities such as marijuana use, TeeVee cop shows, chick flicks, and hardcore porn are so popular. We use... consume... these things because they decidedly not our reality.
Those that have problems between fantasy and reality... the John Mohammads, the Charles Mansons... and let's not forget Nick Nolte.

Yes... yes, all good things in moderation. If you're spending more time downloading porn than screwing your wife... you may have a problem. And, as with this thread, if you're feeling inadequate because a 12" cock is ramming some plasti-perfect bimbo... snap out of it. That's not
real-real.
