But as he told me over several conversations, it wasn’t just porn but rough images on Snapchat, Facebook and other social media that confused him. So he wasn’t exactly in a good position to ask girls directly what they liked.
hadn’t had sex - he liked older, out-of-reach girls, and the last time he had a girlfriend was in sixth grade, and they just fooled around a bit. He was 15, a good student and a baseball fan, too, and pretty perplexed about how porn translated into real life. Next to Drew was Q., who asked me to identify him by the first initial of his nickname. Were their breasts, he wondered, like the ones in porn? Would girls look at him the way women do in porn when they had sex? Would they give him blow jobs and do the other stuff he saw?ĭrew, who asked me to use one of his nicknames, was a junior when I first met him in late 2016, and he told me some of this one Thursday afternoon, as we sat in a small conference room with several other high school boys, eating chips and drinking soda and waiting for an after-school program to begin. One particular porn scene stuck with him: A woman was bored by a man who approached sex gently but became ecstatic with a far more aggressive guy.īut around 10th grade, it began bothering Drew, an honor-roll student who loves baseball and writing rap lyrics and still confides in his mom, that porn influenced how he thought about girls at school. Girls moan a lot and are turned on by pretty much everything a confident guy does. From porn, he learned that guys need to be buff and dominant in bed, doing things like flipping girls over on their stomach during sex. The videos were good for getting off, he said, but also sources for ideas for future sex positions with future girlfriends. Then in ninth grade, he found online porn sites on his phone.
