99% of people around me including close friends pretend sex, naughty bits and porn don't exist. It's this weird social norm black hole that makes other honest interactions feel less honest and more fake. And it's not a victim less thing either - like anything else that we pretend doesn't exist, it allows things and people and issues to fall through unspoken cracks.
Just like with any other topic in the world, if I don't want to hear details I don't need to hear details. And I really really don't want or need to hear 99% of details from more than. 99% percent of people :). But I'd like it to be a conscious choice not a social taboo of shame.
My 2 cents and note I wasn't born with this perspective - it took lots of work and many years to clear out my own social conditioning :-/
(that being said note that the article isn't even REMOTELY about pronography but an Interesting short anecdote about long lost video format and piece of television history. It's safe to read! Even if you're ashamed of your porn!:-)
