Desensitized?

It is clear that our society is desensitized to sex. But to what degree? When does it become unhealthy.
We can't deny the effects of porn on today's young people. Sexually, we are way more demanding then our grand-dad...who at our age blushed when he came across a wonderbra ad.

Does it directly interfere with our relationships and interactions with other humans?

A lot of girls feel threatned by porn. They feel like they need to live up to it. Some even view it as adulterous.
Men tend to defend themselves by saying that porn is only a tool. Men need visual support to..erhm...do what they got to do. It's simply easier than using there imagination, there is no emotional attachment involve.

Experts tend to agree with women, they say that "men who frequently view porn may develop unrealistic expectations of women's appearance and behavior, have difficulty forming and sustaining relationships and feeling sexually satisfied."

So is it really fair to say that its an innocent way to have some fun?

It is hard to say, as each user is different. There is definatly different degree of consumption with different reasons and situations so it is hard to judge what's healthy and moral.
I think that the most important thing is to fight that instinctive part of the brain that relates images to reality and understand that porn is closer to fantasy then reality. Understand that girls in porn, are actresses.

I found this priceless article on this very conservatice site:

http://www.reuniting.info/science/is_there_a_problem_with_porn

It teaches young men the dangers of porn.

Here's a quote of the last few lines it pretty much shows the drift of it :

"Your old brain is just doing its biological job. It has mistaken porn sex for real sex, but you don't have to make the same error. Use your new brain to figure it out. If you have a chance to view porn, consider some of these responses:
“I think I'll skip the porn
because I want to learn about real girls and close relationships.”
because I want to be full of energy, not moody, depressed or anti-social.”
because I know that porn can make sexual frustration worse.”
because I want to get a life.” "
