Here's my take on some of this, and why it surprises me.

Since I was a kid I've seen heaps of sex scenes in Hollywood movies and the like, and part of me always knew it was fake no matter how realistic it was. The first times I saw sex in these Hollywood movies I was really into it but not too long after I got desensitized to it and it did very little to me.
Then I saw porn for the first time, as it turned out I was NOT desensitized to sex at all! And then after a lot more porn, I actually DID get desensitized to sex lol, enough so that when I first had sex in my mind it wasn't quite real, more like a porno movie, but then after a few days it was like "holy shit it really did happen!"

Parallel that for violence, I've seen more than enough violence in movies and video games and it certainly doesn't have much of an effect on me. But when I see something which I know is real, on tv or on the internet or actually in real life, I get an honest visceral reaction, in other words I'm so NOT desensitized to it.

What I'm getting at is that we know the difference between the fake, despite being ultra realistic, footage and the real, despite being slightly censored, footage.

My concern, if we see too much of the real stuff....
