I.e. Porn is evolving, becoming more "extreme" or whatever, simply because the consumers sexual appetites are "evolving" as well. So are our standards of beauty and "sexy". Example: Jane Mansfield was an ICON in her day, but would be laughed at by a LOT of people in the biz were she to post here now and look for work. 
If you follow what I'm saying you'll see that what we consider "hardcore raunch" right now, will be viewed as tame in 20 years. Look at how things have changed since the 70's. |
I can see the validity of that arguement. Taking a subject we have touched on before in conversation, liken it to BDSM terms.
A person might start out being flippy about being blindfolded. Over time, after becoming accustomed to it and having the hunger increase, they may grow to want to wear a hood.
To me, sex is just this vast frontier. Some people could go forever and be happy with NN porn. Others might quickly tire of that and progress to double anal and gagging sites.
Generally speaking though, I think the desire to push the envelope is there.
