Where did I say that directly? I do, however, think that some porn does have an educative side to it; which can be beneficial - alongside the traditional means such as communication and using one's creativity / initiative. Most porn is formulaic jack-off material, I agree. At the same time, I can think of things I've used on girlfriends which they really liked. Where did the porn director get the idea from in the first place?
Porn's potential (note use of 'potential') for educating has been elucidated by numerous high-profile thinkers over the years - fact.

I'd be interested in reading what those 'high-profile thinkers' have to say.

Porn may be used as educative, but I doubt that most porn is designed to be as such, or that it is particularly good education. Some would be better than others, but it would be hard to find the gems, or even to identify them when you find them. Romance novels, which have been studied in a similar way, have been shown to be able to influence their readers' attitudes to condom use. (

There are some how-to videos out there, but porn is made for male entertainment - it is about looks and sounds rather than how the participants are feeling at the time.
As for your original question:
Study up on feminine anatomy and the care and feeding of a healthy vulva.
Make her feel as if you are genuinely enthusiastic about going down on her, for her sake. Don't make it a 'tit for tat' thing, particularly if she's expressed hesitation.
Let her guide you, if she wants to - she has decades more experience in how she needs to be touched to get off, after all.

"The morning after the night before", tell her that you thought it was hot - ask her what she liked best, and if there is something you could do next time that would make it even better for her. If she asks the same, be honest, but don't belittle her.
