Well yes, but this is a sub about books.

No books can teach you certain things, the circumstances are far too dynamic. It's possible they could actually work against you and really ruin your life experience.

Disagree. I suppose you also think Youtube videos are needed to learn auto mechanics, or autocad for mechanical design and architecture.

As for working against you, porn is normalizing choking and other dangerous play with no disclosure about risk.

You're arguing my point... learn by doing. Swapping an engine or changing oil is a wee bit more technical, books are well suited to those types of endeavors.

Reading about how to have great sex, as a teenager, can be just as absurd as relying on porn to teach you.

Even a wikipedia article about erogenous zones can be helpful. People learn in different ways.
