How much has the increasing prevalence of easy access to hardcore pornography changed the real-life sex practices of actual teenagers?
The September issue of Details Magazine examines the issue, using several recent studies as a jumping off point for its discussion, which includes actor Seth Rogen (star of the mainstream film comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno), alt-porn pioneer Joanna Angel (who comments on the "porn-readiness" of first-time girls working on sets for her Burning Angel films), and porn legend Jenna Jameson ("While on tour promoting her memoir, Jenna Jameson was reportedly stunned that 13-year-old girls kept telling her she was their role model").

The awkward truth, according to one study, is that 90 percent of 8-to-16-year-olds have viewed pornography online. Considering the standard climax to even the most vanilla hard-core scene today, that means there is an entire generation of young people who think sex ends with a money shot to the face. It's hard to pinpoint exactly where the age divide falls, but it's safe to say that the first purebred guinea pig to have grown up never knowing a world without fisting on demand is probably around 22 years old.
The article checks in with "Generation XXX" teenagers who have come to expect their dates have clean-shaven pubic areas, 22 year-old women who have come to see facials (the old porn "money shot" standard) as an empowering act, and even a former State Department official who comments that porn's new cool-cred and increasingly elevated social status has reduced "the already low incentive for making a public issue of it" among politicians. It's an interesting discussion, to be sure, and the Details article closes with mention of another recent report in which 25 percent of British girls between the ages of 15-19 "aspired to become professional lap dancers."
