Is it just me or has the entire penis enlargement industry focused on making "normal guys" feel insecure? I can't think of anything that a guy could be more self-conscious of, than his penis size (this is assuming that they actually care about the messages they see in the media). You've got these phony infomericals where if you drink a redbull like drink and take some pills every day, you'll get bigger. And to make it worse, women talk about size as being extremely important, and a common insult to a guy is that he was small or not good in bed, things he can't necessarily control (at least the size part).
So guys get just as bad images of themselves from porn as women do. And what is probably worse about porn is it tricks men into thinking they don't have to go out and meet women. Their genes want to reproduce, so the easiest thing to kill that urge is go online and watch porn. No girl necessary. It takes away the natural drive to go out and socialize.
I don't think porn is good or bad, it's beyond a value judgement, it is simply a part of society that we have to live with. But in my opinion, it's more harmful than helpful.
And I'm on a porn moratorium right now, so I can get all high and mighty today.
