*facepalm*
Strange... you've been here for how many years, and there have been how many discussions where you've asserted that heterosexual men must not enjoy something (such as anal sex), and we've had how many heterosexual male members tell you that you're full of it? It's getting old. No one's saying you have to like it, but for god's sake...
it's actually pretty insulting when you tell someone else what they do and do not like and then ignore them - repeatedly - when they tell you you are wrong. In other words, yes,
plenty of heterosexual men, including myself, like anal sex. Some even like to be on the receiving end, and they can still be every bit as heterosexual as the next guy. No one's saying you have to understand it, but that doesn't mean you get to ignore facts when people are giving it to you straight from the horse's mouth.
ANYWAY...
I actually came here to post that I read an interesting article today on this very subject (the effects of porn, not whether or not heterosexual men enjoy anal sex, because no one with half a brain would question that fact these days).
Scienceblogs - Just How Bad Is Porn, Anyway?
Read the whole article for some interesting info, but here's the summary for lazy/busy people:
Quote:
What does it mean? High pornography use is not necessarily indicative of high risk for sexual aggression. Among men who are relatively low-risk for sexual aggression, the use of porn results in only a slight increase in aggression. In some circumstances, pornography use, however, is a very good indicator of higher sexual aggression levels. This is the case when considering men who were determined to previously be at high risk for sexual aggression. Those who are frequent users of pornography were more likely to have engaged in sexual aggression than others who consume porn less frequently.
As with the previous studies, this was also only correlational, and it is impossible to infer casuality. However, this data suggests very strongly that pornography is not a direct cause of aggression against women; rather, pornography moderates the relationship between sexual promiscuity/hostile masculinity and sexual aggression.
What have we learned?
1. These issues are very complicated.
2. Because of the “third person effect,” it is important to measure pornography consumption in addition to attitudes
3. When it comes to self-report, both men and women report larger positive effects than negative effects.
4. Nearly all men report viewing pornography (98%), but the vast majority of women (80%) do as well.
5. For some, pornography can lead to reduced sexual satisfaction. This effect is most pronounced for those who prefer “paraphilic” content to “mainstream” content, though this distinction leaves something to be desired.
6. There are reliable relationships between pornography use and sexual aggression, but the story isn’t so straightforward. For individuals with relatively low risk for sexual aggression, porn consumption has only a slight relationship with sexual aggression. The relationship becomes significant and pronounced only when the individual is already at a high-risk for sexual aggression.
