I know, I know: provocative title for a post (though truly not meant to be trolling). I think you can see from my profile and previous topics that I'm a real person with a great appreciation for porn. However, I've just read a couple of articles that have put some frightening thoughts in my head.
First I saw this piece in the New Yorker magazine about a new "super-bug" strain of oral gonorrhea:
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/10/01/121001fa_fact_groopman
The gist of this quite in-depth article is that even as we've made great strides against HIV and other STD transmission, a pernicious type of oral gonorrhea that actually breeds in the throat and is spread by oral sex (blowjobs mainly) has come into existence. It's drug-resistant and bad enough to already be scaring the CDC. The typical thoughts of irony and cause and effect run through the mind: we've taught generations now that giving or getting head is far safer/preferable to fucking and now this is here.
Additionally, the currently very much in-vogue practice of extreme deepthroating and face-fucking would seem incredibly dangerous if this report is true. And as we all know I think, the things we see in porn (anal in the 80s/90s giving way to making it mainstream by now, etc.), do tend to be mimicked in our sexual society. Which would mean there's probably a growing number of people potentially spreading a new supervirus or infection as we speak.
So, again, I know gonorrhea usually only (only!) causes reproductive problems, but it can also facilitate HIV transmission...and if the adopters of risky practices are doing other risky things...well, you can see where I'm going with that.

I don't think so, I mean I don't fuck my DVDs , and if I would I'd want to see its tests in full just to be safe.
From the little I know of STDs (never had one) it is more likely I could get one from a real woman than from watching a porn.
so definitely porn won't kill us

People tell lies my friend. Some people like publicity. I don't like publicity.

I don't think the public mimics what you see in porn other than using a variety of sexual positions. Bald genitals, double penetrations, slapping, hair pulling, and spitting are not common in society so no it will not kill us. Porn is fantasy to please us yet not the real world. Just my take.

There are two issues being conflated here. First, whether or not porn is affecting what is common or acceptable sexual behavior (eg, deep throat and anal sex). Second, whether or not porn is encouraging promiscuity.
In reverse order - no. Humans have always been and will always be promiscuous. That is actually a good thing, because bacteria can adapt a lot faster than we can, so the more we mix up our genetic material the better off the species is.
As to whether or not porn affects sexual practice, eh, it depends. The Marquis de Sade didn't wait upon the arrival of pornography to get up to all manner of kink. Humans are horny by nature and extremely adaptive - look at how we exploit our environment. That being so, you might make the case for an individual being influenced but extrapolating to the species is a dubious proposition, at best.

Life is going to kill us anyway. I hate to break it to you, but it's inevitably fatal. Maybe someone should ban it?

I appreciate the thoughtful responses so far.
As far as understanding the difference between filmed/staged pornographic performances and real life, I think a couple of posters may not have gotten my admittedly indirect point.
Hardware did, and rightfully pointed out that my original question blends two things: the new strain of oral gonorrhea supposedly spread by blowjobs and whether viewing and then adopting porn practices (like deepthroating/face-fucking) occurs.
I know that most of porn is fantasy for millions who'll never try what they see in it, but I'm still alarmed after reading the article I linked to about millions more who think (and have thought for decades) that sucking a dick is "safe".
That just wouldn't appear to be the case anymore.

Actually blowjobs are widely in use since millennia for example exists in Latin Language a word to indicate a blowjob receiver and even a verb to decribe the act of receiving a blowjob
Irrumatio is the word , irrumator is the one
there's a latin say (sorry can't remember who said that) Nemo est senex ad irrumandum Nobody is too old for a blowjob , difficult to translate because Irrumator to my knowledge doesn't exist in any language I know
So said , no, blowjobs in real life aren't influenced by porn especially in Europe where it is considered foreplay not even actual sex , and is widely known and given.
So said it is true that many girls do a BJ and only after that they force their partners to wear a condom as if oral sex has no risks , that is for cunnilingus toon, boys go down on women with no concerns but again it is widely done , porn has nothing to do with that , each European language has a variety of words to indicate a blowjob none of them originated from porn

I was going to post something but your post pretty much demonstrates how easily defeated this nonsense is. But I don't expect common sense will stop them from continuing to try and scare people.

Don't you think there just might be a certain percentage of people who are meant to kill themselves with their own ignorance or lack of caring if sex the way they want it kills them?
You would think in this day and age people would grasp the idea that it might be more dangerous to humanity as a whole (in the long run) to protect stupid people from themselves than anything they might be doing is going to be.
I guess it's inevitable. Once they ban 32 ounce sodas, porn can't be too far behind.

Okay, okay, I get it: instead of just posting about a new STD I stupidly tried to weave in whether today's porn could influence the public and inadvertently spread super-oral gonorrhea further.
I can take my lumps. Thanks to all those who replied.
But I don't understand how almost any topic posted here, whether about questionable practices or STDs, always comes across as the person simply bringing it up somehow wanting to ban/limit porn.
I certainly don't--nor do I care to try and save the Darwin Award winners from themselves--but I think some new facts (like superbugs) do warrant attention.

OK. Humor me. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
Better yet, tell me what you think they are trying to accomplish with the fear mongering. Anyone who is paying any attention at all can sense the strong anti-porn vibe that's been going around lately and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they're up to something.

Of course porn could kill us. The world of porn is littered with bodies in one way shape or form.

Because as you are refusing to understand ORAL sex is widespread already , and so was way before porn was invented , people will do oral sex whether or not porn exists and will do even if porn is banned , so porn has nothing to do with the spread of gonorrhea.
I personally know a girl whose preferred sex act is having a man to cum as deep in her throat as he can go, and she's not a porn consumer she just learned this with practice and discovered how much she liked it , that's all
furthermore whilst you can get gonorrhea by sucking a dick you can't by having a dick sucked , so how the hell the man got it?
With regular UNPROTECTED sex , now I hope you're not going to say that people has sex because they are influenced by porn. I hope you're not goimng to say that people has unprotected sex because of porn either.
Now it happens that if a man has gonorrhea he will spread it either vaginally or orally depending on how much time he stays in mouth or in pussy.
If you take a partial figure from a much more complex calculation you can prove anything until you got the great number , OK oral gonorreha is spreading but what about regular gonorrhea , what is the incidence among the gay community both gay males or lesbians , what is the incidence among the youngsters , what is the incidence of genital gonorrhea among the heterosexuals?
just saying
