She's found a real problem, but not necessarily a solution (or a business), sadly. Stuff like this has been around since porn's been around.

The reason porn addresses something of a human need is that it provides intense sexual stimulation to people without access to (or even the emotional maturity for) sexual relationships. I hate to say it, but the emotional needs of a beautiful woman are pretty academic to a 19 year old guy that hasn't figured out how to talk to girls or an overweight 45 year old guy whose options are limited. I doubt that disabusing them of porn's ridiculous conventions is going to substantively improve things for them. I mean, it's just hard to compete with intense sexual release.

The real opportunity is for authors/educators/leaders/academics that can help guys without access to sex understand sex and relationships in a truly useful way. We've seen this with things like the world of "seduction education" and things like "nofap" on reddit.

Actually, reddit is a real problem I see for her business - there are already active, technically astute and fairly well moderated forums for exactly these types of discussions.



Your view of the porn-consuming demographic is offensively myopic.


At mlnp.tv we're glad to see when anyone is engaging in a healthy dialogue around sex and porn.
