It's not that you don't want sex any more. I think it's more to do with being overly-stimulated and suddenly being in a naturally stimulated... position (my puns are on fire today). Your mind is expecting all this lurid activity—anal, facials, threesomes, etc—that just aren't a reality for many couples. If you and your partner have agreed on anal and facials, that's great, but the chances are it isn't going to happen twice, three times a day like Internet users get when they watch porn. It over-stimulates your mind and propels false hopes forward. Even the positions in sex on the Internet and movies are simulated and fake. This is creating impressions in young people—and mid-20 folks and beyond as well—that really strange sexual positions are in fact the norm, and multiple orgasms, too.
Don't get me wrong, I hate it when people compare the dangers of Internet Pornography to, I don't know, something ridiculously terrible like raping babies. I hate it when the media release endless articles saying the same thing—always by women—about vast, sweeping claims and stereotypes. They blanket their viewers with the same bullshit. I mean, I think that pornography, by nature, is unnatural, but I also see its relevance and popularity. And there is always something to be said about popularity. I don't like Apple but they're incredibly popular; and for a reason. Whether I agree with that reason is hearsay. The fact remains, popularity has a sway over definitive conclusions. I just feel people need to be aware of pornography and its dangers. Once they are they will be able to make a better judgement on whether it's something they want to do a couple of times a week, just for shits and giggles, or if it's something that takes up half an hour+ of your time every day, with multiple ejaculations.
