lotsa nudity --- what a turn off? (Score 1)

I'm American and I moved to Germany five years ago. It's difficult perhaps for an American to imagine, but lotsa of nudity actually becomes a major turn-off, which usually has the added result of "tame" pornography and nudity not being such a big deal. Here, as in England, daily newspapers (also bought by women!) carry a naked women on the cover page every day (www.bild.de), and nudity can be seen everywhere. This is mostly because I get the impression that Germans are very comfortable with their bodies and nudity. Just look in the sauna here to see all the naked sweating bodies - it's not very erotic though.

Nevertheless, the effects of banalizing pornography (which I wouldn't label BMX XXX as being, so perhaps this is off-topic) seems to be coming to light, and the results can be disturbing, especially since, pornography, in order to sell more, has had to concentrate on more extreme aspects (fisting, rape, gangbangs, etc.)...which eventually, due to their wide availability, become "accepted".

Adolescents have access to this material, whatever the laws and legal ages (in any country, for that matter) and, consciously or unconsciously, use this material as sex education. It's easy to imagine how vicious teen sex could become if the majority of young boys think that ALL girls have a rape fantasy and take a "no" for a sign of excitation.
