The article seems to oppose a mainstream view of pornography. Such mainstream opposition, properly done, as is the case in the article, is refreshing. I seem to learn more by reading nonmainstream views like that and somehow this very statement seems obvious.

i went to public school and i never would have considered that lesbians get off licking each others feet without the education i got from porn.

Most "lesbian" porn is made by and for straight men. It has little to no connection with reality.

so is faking the orgasm during penetration which is widespread practice even without a camera rolling.

Point being there was some selective pressure for the trait of being able to act, put up a show and perform sexually.

Women who did that got to reproduce at a higher rate than those who didn’t.

Porn and sex work in general provides a special selection elevating those who inherited that trait in a very strong way
