Gay conversion therapy, which has an entire society backing it, failed consistently despite trying pairing it with torture and social ostracism.

This seems to suggest that broad sexual preferences are remarkably stable.

I would imagine that it is probably easier to make someone find something sexually exciting than to make them no longer find a thing sexually exciting?

When a river had carved a canyon, it is hard to redirect it. That doesn’t mean the canyon was always there.

		By that logic, one would think that gay people would at least also be heterosexual because they're drowning in an ocean of heterosexual material.

Why is the pornography served to each generation more violent then? It's one thing to be homosexual, it's another to be into the most extreme acts that some homosexuals perform. Do we really need porn that scenarizes incest?

		It's kind of interesting that you're claiming a slippery slope argument, when the words we use to describe incest Oedipal and Electra complex come from wildly popular pre-CE fictional accounts of incest. As for violence, that's because such acts on film were illegal. Pornography was tightly regulated before this era of free speech. Even now the UK, is constantly trying to maintain BDSM porn as criminal [1] and Australia has similar tight restrictions [2]. This is to say nothing of the countries where pornography is completely banned: China, North Korea, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkmenistan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iceland, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Malta, Myanmar, Sudan, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Yemen. So if the question is why do you see more of Y in XXX, it's because it is now allowed so content is created to satisfy needs that were already there.
