I bet you could all think of a certain sexual act, if you've ever seen porn, that's regularly shown in porn, that there's no way the other person's getting pleasure from it. No way. How many agree that most people could imagine that if they've ever seen porn? They've probably seen a scene like this. Yes or no? Yes. And here's the problem. If you people are watching it, they forget the knowledge you just told me that it's not a good resource. They forget it when they're watching it. So then they watch it and they come back to their partner and think, oh, this is how you're supposed to perform. And this is how I'm supposed to perform. And now do we have a really messed up performance-based sexual life instead of 2 people actually being intimate, learning, and discovering each other? How many agree porn can mess it up that way? Yes or no? Yes. Yeah.
