Sexual awakening and internet

My sexual awakening took place in the early 90's. Sometimes I call myself a member of the last pre-internet generation, when porn simply meant some silly magazines we could buy downtown, or a tape from the local video rental shop if we had a brother/cousin over 18 to get it.

I had a lot of "how to" questions in my mind (my girlfriends, too): How it is done "properly", what is "normal" and "abnormal", how it can be more pleasurable. I answered all these questions through experimentation, creativity, and, above all, experience. It was a process of slow, constant, stepwise discovery. When the easily accessible porn (i.e. porn/erotica sites) arrived, they may have softened my standpoint on some minor matters, but they didn't show me or teach me something I didn't know.

Sometimes I wonder... Is it the same for the younger generations? Thanks to the internet (or because of it), a modern teenager is exposed every day to tons of information on sex, written and videotaped. Does the attractive aura of mystery still exist?

There were very few porn magazines or really good adult magazines of any kind. When we were young the drive in move was where 99% of the kids learned about sex. Not on that big screen, in the back seat.
Maybe we didn't do it right. But it was fun and educational.
Kids today do have internet porn. But they often have to spend money at a sleazy motel for their sexual encounters.
They need to bring back the drive in theaters.
 
good thread question

porn is educational, in a way :)

exploring sexuality is tougher when everyone has access to porn. people who would have had sex suddenly defer to the safety and convenience of a digital experience.

sometimes, it's obvious to me how sex is an ongoing activity. sex is about creativity, so watching porn is antithetical in that it's capturing a timeslice.

i still experience intrigue and allure. there are whole groups dedicated to the practice of connecting with others in a "present" way to arrive at new conclusions. it's not the same, and people also have to be >80% communicative about what it is they're seeking since there's too many options out there.
