	Data extract	Coded for
422	P3: I think its all because of all the porn out there [agreement by others] exposed to
423	because the first guy that I had was he had never done anything sexual, even with
424	regards to oral sex and he had given me oral sex and it felt so weird and it was exactly	influence of porn—feeling of oddness
425	like porn which is not what you are supposed to do
426	P1: yes
427	P3: it felt weird and painful for me because as I said I am really sensitive down there
428	and he was being really ruff and he was sorry for being ruff, but he was sucking on my	not able to say no—negative experience
429	vagina and it felt so weird and it was not pleasurable, it was rather painful and since he
430	was my friend but not in that bond emotionally and I did not feel comfortable enough to
431	say like ‘hey, what are you doing?’ but it was a really negative experience because it
432	was exactly as to what you would see in a porn movie	not able to say no—negative experience
433	P1: I think there is a confusion between porn being a film that is sort of exaggerated to
434	make you feel turned on before you do your thing and people feel like that is what they
435	should do in real life. when its not
436	P3: yeah I think that like as with any other movie that porn should be regarded as	confusion between sex in porn and real life
437	entertainment and not real, because it’s not real
438	P1: because when you are 17, everything is real though and you have only ever
439	experienced sex by watching a film and you can’t really see what is real and what is not,
440	its like a 17 year old man does that really?
441	P3: I think that some more naive 17 year old might think that this is what sex is but that
442	is not what is most normal and its not what women like sometimes, that is all they think
443	that this is what a woman wants and they see this woman orgasming like 10 times in a
444	movies [Laughter]. and they think, oh they must really like this and that they should do this since	influence of porn—boys got ideas from porn what women like
445	women like this
446	P1: and that puts pressure on women to orgasm like 10 times [Common talk]
447	P3: yeah exactly, for me like from oral sex I can only barely orgasm because I do enjoy
448	it . but its just not that awesome for me … so for me its actually a big accomplishment for
449	me to orgasm from oral sex, but in porn movie, they like orgasm like 5 times from it, and	influence of porn—pressure on women to orgasm
450	I think that is what younger boys think that its supposed to be like that and when its not
