As porn becomes more common and easy to access, it’s also becoming more extreme or shocking. Some people might be into role playing this type of sex, but porn doesn't show the communication, negotiation, and consent process behind the scenes.

Porn might not represent the kind of sex you like or want to have.

This means playing up to the fantasies of the relatively small subsection of viewers who are willing to pay for the porn they watch.
