When it comes to the bedroom, some like it hot. But just how hot is too hot? TRUE LOVE talks to the experts.
Back in the day, pornography was only found behind the blacked-out windows of the local ‘adult’ shop. Now, times haven’t just changed, they’ve had an extreme makeover. Whereas anal sex wasn’t even on the cards once, now you might be asked for a bit of backdoor action on the second date. Free sites like YouPorn gets 12 million hits a day, allowing anyone with an internet connection or an i-Phone to access hundreds of hardcore videos that would make even a porn queen’s eyes water. A staggering 70 per cent of men aged 18 to 24 watch porn for an average of two hours a week.
In fact, when the University of Montreal tried to find a sample of straight men who’d never watched porn for a research project, they had to give up – concluding, basically, they don’t exist.
‘I don’t know a single bloke who doesn’t watch porn,’ says marketing assistant Sally, 23. ‘My male friends all talk about what they watch and what they like. Lots of my female friends are big fans as well. I don’t see anything wrong with it.’
On the one hand, we’re with Sally. We have no problem with (legal and consensual) porn itself – after all, one in three watchers are women and if the 50 Shades phenom has shown us anything, it’s that most of us are open to a bit of kink. But on the other hand, as porn gets more mainstream, it seems to be getting worryingly more hardcore too. Is this growing appetite for sex acts previous generations had never heard of changing the sexual menu – and what you think you should be getting up to in bed?
