I think overall porn IS very degrading towards women. It doesn't matter that the acts are consensual. Most porn is all about male pleasure, and you have to specifically seek out videos that show women experiencing an authentic orgasm. Porn is extremely one-sided. Even lesbian porn is primarily made for male pleasure and lacks authenticity. I don't necessarily think that will affect personal relationships in real life, but I do worry that over generations the kind of porn that is common now will reinforce negative sexual attitudes towards women, and cause a shift in what is considered "normal" sexual behavior.
Very true, with the industry constantly trying to one-up each other, it's just getting really strange sometimes. 50 years from now, what we think is strange will probably be the norm. Apt name btw.
