Which parts of her essay do you believe are factually or logically incorrect?
Some excerpts:
> Many young men will watch porn more often than they have sex with other humans. Their beliefs about sex will come from porn and not from interactions with real people
> And, the real humans who they eventually have sex with suffer for it.
> Most porn is about watching women pretend to enjoy sex acts that are unpleasant to them. It doesn't have to be this way, but it is.
> Men who watch this type of porn are basically being taught sexual practices that will not work in real life. Why does that matter? Well, if you're an 18 year old virgin, the only moves you're learning are moves that will leave your partners miserable.
> More than that, however, is men become accustomed to watching women pretending to be turned on. Being good in bed, fundamentally, is about being able to read someone else, and men are learning false cues.
> [...]
> Men become conditioned to watching women in pain pretending to be enjoying sex. How good an actress is your average porn actress? Good enough to cover up all the subtle cues that she’s hurting? Good enough to be able to fake genuine sexual pleasure? I suspect not.
> This means that your average young man is starting at worse than zero when it comes to sex with women. If he's having sex with a girl, and she's giving out cues that she's in pain (through her facial expression, or the noises she makes) he's going to think that's how sex should be because that's what he learned in porn. If she's genuinely turned on, he will not know how to identify it, because he's watched so many women pretending to be turned on that his ability to identify genuine pleasure has been scrambled. And, this is best case scenario porn. This is if he watched porn where the women were at least pretending to have a good time.
> More sadistic porn will teach young men to derive pleasure from causing women pain - and I'm not talking about BDSM. I'm talking about "vanilla" porn where men fuck women in ways that hurt them.
