Thanks to everyone who voted, these are interesting results! I expected more to choose "Maybe, in some cases", but instead the majority went for a definite "Yes": bareback porn
does influence men to bareback.
Personally, I'm not sure. I don't believe that people copy what they see against their own will. Even if some do, the existence of an impressionable minority should not prevent the rest of us from viewing what we choose. On the other hand, I know porn feeds fantasies which can lead to changes in behaviour. This power is part of its fascination; the way it can heat the mind, helping us into a state where we act on our primal impulses instead of reasoning. Maybe it's a good and important influence. Maybe it's just the push we need.
To the people who voted "Yes": what makes you so sure? Has bareback porn influenced you or your friends to bareback? If so, how do you feel about that? Are you sad that you were influenced into risky behaviour, or happy to have been encouraged into having more fulfilling sex? If you're in the minority who voted "No", why do you think so few people agree with you?
