“The third wheel (the verb is ‘to third wheel’) has been re-invented by the girls themselves because they want protection from the sexual demands of their boyfriends. When I spoke to many teenage girls in researching the subject, they told me these demands are both ‘disturbing and upsetting’, and they are certain they’re being fuelled by what their boyfriends are watching online: hard-core, explicit porn . . . ‘Boys just want us to do all the stuff they see the porn stars do,’ one 16-year-old girl told me. ‘It’s as if we have to pretend we are in a movie’ . . . Latest figures suggest that boys spend as much as three hours a week gazing at porn; absorbing unrealistic images of aesthetically enhanced people, many of whom are engaged in multi-partner, violent and perverted sex acts.”
