Part 8/10:
As pornography becomes a normative part of young people's sexual education and exploration, it can create unrealistic expectations regarding real-life relationships. The psychological and social skills required for forming actual intimate relationships may atrophy if individuals become conditioned to seek arousal through observation instead of participation.
This shift transforms the experience of sexual development, particularly for young men, as they may struggle to articulate consent, engage meaningfully with partners, or navigate the complexities of real-world sexual interactions due to previous socialization into a virtual landscape of pornography.
