Current Events > C/D - Porn is fuckin' up men's perception of beauty

(+) Yeah! (+)

What do you think?

Don't those dating app statistics show men rate women on something like a bell curve while women are more likely to rate near 0 or near 10?

For sure but I think that's pretty much all media, not just porn.

Turn on TV, go to a movie, play a game, go on the internet, look at a magazine. Everywhere you look you see idealized beautiful airbrushed women.

If a video game or a porn movie or a hollywood movie showed someone who just looked like a random girl off the street, people would whine and it's sales would plummet.

a lot of the most famous modern porn stars have no ass or chest. Seriously. Look up all the top porn star females. They tend to be very petite. If porn is doing anything, it would be having men get a fetish for tiny chested, flat ass women

I don't get it. I've never been on a dating app that asks me to rank anyone on a 1-10?

no

incels aren't talking to women anyway

No

No, it is all social media.

True, true. In hindsight, I should have said social media instead of porn.

Yes but its part of a broader trend where media distorts our perception. Porn is a small piece of the puzzle.

Influencers, anime, fashion models, movie stars, advertising, constant access social media with endless pictures etc all contribute

I think it definitely warps the perception of sex to men.

Men get turned off at the most minor details abour women. Like if her nose is too big, her hair is too short, or her ass is too small then its a deal breaker for them. Guys like woman that looks like barbie dolls instead of regular people.

I think the Kardashian's have done more harm for the perception of beauty than any pornstar has tbh

Do you actually believe this to be true?

Warping society's perceptions is kind of the whole purpose of advertisements in general

You seriously have no fucking clue

i'd say social media, then tv/movies before porn, for beauty. tv/movies for romance, and porn for sex.

No.

Women objectifying other women is a large contributor.

D, because most women in porn are fucking hideous. Especially when their caked-on makeup starts to run wet with tears and shame after their 9th attempt at throating.

Social Media has fucked up both men and women's perception of beauty

This 100%.

I think porn's biggest issue is warping men's understanding of what sex is and isn't. Makes things uncomfortable for women when men try to recreate porn sex with real sex.

More their expectations.

They finna ignore you but pornstars these days cannot even compare to IG and Tiktok models. Its honestly IG & Tiktok that are warping the standards.

Big D. Porn is messing with people's perception of sex, sure. But beauty? Fuck naw. If you wanna blame someone for that, look at photoshop'd celebs, every other model, tikthots, and all your plastic e-girls.

Nah. The blowup doll look of your stereotypical pornstar is not attractive.

I feel very bad for Gen-Z women who are stuck with men whose entire concept of sex was influenced by porn. These dudes have had unabated access to hardcore porn from a young age and think that a) sex is just oral and penetration and b) a woman taking interest in you means she immediately wants to fuck you

People don't even date anymore

Sort of.

many people think a 7 inch man pepperoni is small because of it, so it has changed womens percection too

not any more than the rest of the film/entertainment industry

I think porn and social media has actually had a much worse effect on women than men, and on a huge scale. Women by and large care more about their own physical beauty than what men do. Women are also constantly seeing all of the TikTok, OF, and Instagram models all over the place. Then there are the cosplayers, Hollywood celebs, rappers/singers, and of course, porn in general. There's one thing in common with all of that. Men and society as a whole are OBSESSED with them.

Women as young as teenagers see this and are growing up with this and feel that those appearances they see are what they need to be. This is why there's such an insane rise of KimK and Instagram/OF model clones, and the major rise of plastic surgery all over the place. They all want that look because society is now pushing them into it.

The thing about the men is that even though they are obsessed with these women, their perception of beauty IRL hasn't actually changed. In reality the majority of guys will be with anyone and smash anything if they can. Inceldom is separate issue. They're incels mostly because of their attitudes, personalities, and beliefs. That makes them unattractive to any other living being. It's not that they don't consider anyone attractive. They're the most desperate people.

The dudes who look at Instagram and TikTok girls 24/7 will also be the first to settle down with a totally average woman... if they can.

If anything it fucks up a woman's perspective of penis size. There aren't many average sized ones in porn.

True, though there are a few

I'm gonna be totally honest here.

Most "porn stars" are not very attractive to me personally. Not in like, "Most women are very average" sort of way, but in a sense that the way most women need to portray themselves and look to be successful in porn is just not what attracts me.

That is probably a simplification and I don't watch an absolute metric shit ton of porn or anything like that so maybe I'm just not seeing the breadth of choice out there... but most porn I've seen just isn't super appealing to me.

Porn has to do crazy stuff to get me into it while normally it doesnt take much for the real thing. So no.

No.

This topic is the perfect convergence of brain dead men's right crap and puritanical religious conservatism.

I'd say everything from the way our society worships pro athletes to how consumer culture creates anxiety and negative body image are far worse.

Maybe the blending of the accessibility of public figures like even porn stars on social media has made it worse - but I think the vast majority of men understand that content is designed solely for wanking.

Kinda yeah a lot of guys are convinced they have small peepees because the massive dongs in porn.

Thats why I love when a bunch of women have been doing trends on tiktok for average dick size appreciation.
