Virginia Lawmakers Say Watching Porn Leads to Having Group Sex

This week, Virginia state lawmakers introduced a piece of legislation to combat what they believe to be an increasingly perilous threat to society: big, bad porn. Resolution HJ549, proposed by the House Committee on Health, Welfare, and Institutions, suggests pornography leads to “individual and societal harms.” More specifically, it mentions the hypersexualization of teenagers, infidelity, and even group sex.

Of course, it may not be hard to find a porn aficionado who has indulged in the occasional orgy, but it’s decidedly more difficult to find data proving that porn points its users in that direction. That’s because no such data exists. In fact, group sex doesn’t even rank in the top ten most searched terms across porn platforms. Statistics show that categories like “MILF” and “massage” are more likely to take the top spots.

Sappy is sexy: Romantic movies can make women horny, suggests new research from the Netherlands.

In the study, women showed more implicit desire for sex after watching particularly tender scenes from Titanic and Indecent Proposal than they did after viewing sexually explicit clips. Men’s desire, on the other hand, took a nosedive after watching the mushy movies; the guys wanted sex much less following sentimental fare than when they saw X-rated scenes or boring documentary clips.

Why might romantic movies rev up her motor? Women’s sexual motivation seems to be triggered more by a relationship-based context than an overly sexual one, says study author Marieke Dewitte, Ph.D.

It’s all evolutional: Women needed to be more tuned in to what went on relationship-wise before agreeing to knock boots with a handsome caveman. That's because a partner that stuck close by could help increase the survival chances of their baby Neanderthals.
