Personally I don’t think it’s an argument which holds up to scrutiny. The closest to a good argument is your point that unrealistic depictions of sex can create unrealistic expectations or misguided ideas about it which could create problems when the person in question actually gets around to having sex. Eduardo del Mango, and others trying to establish why sex is more shunned than violence Some good attempts but I fail to see any rational justification here or anywhere. Just for one example So, fifteen year old sees porno which, as per mainstream porno values, features no foreplay, cunnilingus, or anything other than a penis hammering in and out of a vagina, and believes that’s how real people go about it (when only a minority of women are able to climax solely from vaginal penetration).Įdit says: Capt. I never claimed ‘psychological damage’, but that misleading depictions of sex can give kids a very wrong idea about something they’re going to end up involved with. Eduardo del Mango says: I did make it clear in my post that I was talking about the general issue of sex and violence in the media, not in this specific game which I made no mention to. But hey, that’s just like my opinion man. I want to live in a world where you would be no more likely to break up with a girlfriend than you would be to ‘break up’ with a friend. If sex weren’t such a big deal and were depicted without people feeling uncomfortable (the way violence is depicted) people would be more open to learning about/experiencing it more for themselves and treat it with ease and maturity.
