I agree, and I think a lot of the common ideas/ways of talking about sex nowadays are really wrapped up in pornography. For example, this drive for everyone to microlabel every aspect of their sexuality; labels don't matter so much in real life but they matter a lot in pornography. It seems to drive a lot of the trans stuff too - a lot of trans men seem to be trying to escape the pornographic role of woman as abuse object and a lot of trans women seem to have an erotic fascination with assuming that role.
