First of all, who you are as a sexual being is the result naturally of your exposure, right?

You come to understand what sex is and how you're supposed to behave from stories.

In ancient cultures, you would observe a certain amount because perfect privacy wasn't a thing.

That has all now been disrupted by porn, right?

So people get developmental experiences of sex from this commodity which is not accurate.

It is not a description of the way people actually interact, right?

It's meant to captivate you and the different pornographers are in competition with each other.

So they're providing you an increasingly extreme view of sex in order to get your attention.

Yeah.

It's nonsense.

For the most part.

But given what a human being is and given that it doesn't come wired with a sexual persona, that it acquires a sexual persona through exposure, the fact that we are flooding that channel with this very unrealistic stuff means that, well, what do women discover when they end up in bed with a guy?

Well, that guy is like the cartoon that men have been painted as.

You and I bristle at what the Me Too movement portrayed men as.

Not because there aren't bad men.

There are lots of bad men.

But it's not universal.

And the story of how men and women are supposed to interact in terms of...

flirting and dating and all of that is not as straightforward as people will paint that picture but if you've got a generation of men that's being exposed to the same frankly violent garbage and that is informing them about what sex is and then women are discovering that oh yeah men are kind of brutal and awful you know in the bedroom so that reinforces their sense of well

These aren't decent people.
