discussion Not Educational... Unless?

I often hear disclaimers about not trusting what you see in porn, due to unrealistic physiology & beauty standards. But that got me curious about things people HAVE learned from porn.
For example: I learned how to use my tongue to give a clitoral orgasm.
So, what is something that you have learned from pornography? (sexual skills, practical skills, about yourself, life lessons, etc.)

I learned that porn is mostly fantasy, not real life. It helped me notice what I’m curious about, but real sex is way more about communication and comfort than copying what you see on screen

Never trust an audiovisual product made for entertainment as a reliable source of information, regardless of whether the information on a particular aspect is useful.



In other words, porn is not for learning. If you want to learn, literally search for videos of specifically what you want to learn to do or practice. I've seen people who want to get into BDSM because of porn and end up very badly.

Honestly, I picked up some antics not through porn but by reading erotic stories, sexual encounters, and studying the female reproductive system. There are some areas within the beautiful female anatomy that can be pleasing for them when stimulated, but not all females can experience bliss from it.

Different people means different sensitive areas for stimulation. It is always a good idea to experiment with a consenting partner and learn from errors, porn can't get you to that sensation of heavenly bliss for a very long duration.

When I was first introduced to porn I thought "this is what real life must be like".....Glad I was 100% right.

Seriously though, apart from opening myself up to some kinky stuff I wouldn't have otherwise known, it hasn't taught me a ton

It taught me that it's okay if sex is boring as long as the girl is making a lot of noise. which is almost certainly not actually true for anyone involved.

I learned I have a porn addiction and it's so bad I play porn games.

I’ve always found all that talk about physiology and beauty standards pretty pathetic. It makes actors and actresses sound like aliens or somehow not normal human beings. Personally, I think that even though it’s entertainment, anyone can have “porn like” sex it all comes down to communication. Obviously it’s not the most common thing, but there are people who have much more “porn style” sex than others.

That said, if you plan to live a sexual life within society, basing your expectations on porn probably isn’t the best idea lol. Most people aren’t going to come anywhere close to that. In the end, it’s all about communication.
