While not fussed either way about whether I see a johnnie on a chap's winky in a porno, I can see how having more condoms in porn might have a beneficial effect. HOWEVER - I also get immediately cautious, because you're in similar territory to the whole nonsense about smoking in movies - how some freaks want a flick like Casablanca to be rated 18 because there's smoking in it.
I'd think that real-life situations would have more influence over whether anyone smokes or doesn't smoke, e.g. isn't it the case that those from smoking households are more likely to smoke themselves?
Likewise, regardless of what happens in porn, I'd hope that real-life situations would educate people about proper condom use/contraception. Porn is porn ... it's grossly fictional in its approach to sex, it's all an act, a set-up, by-and-large (no pun intended  ) ... for example, porn performers are almost entirely unlike the average person bumping uglies. There was an interesting documentary on the BBC a while back about Teens Hooked on Porn (or something lurid like that), and it had a bunch of teenagers around GCSE age consuming porn and how it affected their perception of sex in real life.
That's where the danger of porn comes in - because there's not enough (or any) education to counter the message of porn. A violent movie is fine, because you're brought up to know the difference between right and wrong, and killing is bad etc (generally speaking) ... whereas there isn't the education about porn and the perception of sex that it puts out there.
I never had internet porn when I was in high school, about the most we got was Max Power magazine (a mally boy car magazine  ) and the 10 minute freeview on Television X ... it's a different ball game now. By the time I was able to access internet porn my perception of sex was much more developed than those who are accessing it - without being educated about it as a media force - at the age of 13, say.
I'm NOT saying, however, that porn is evil and should be banned. Far from it, I'm a pro-porn dude, but I do think that it is necessary for kids to be educated about pornography ... indeed a couple of years ago I shot & edited a series of educational films on the topic of "Sex & Ethics", and these issues (as well as many others) were investigated. However it's aimed at Sixth Form students ... I do think that from Year 7 or 8 there must be proper sexual education.
Not just the mechanics of how a baby gets made, but two very important things:
1) Contraception and proper contraceptive use.
2) Understanding pornography in context.
...
Where were we? Something about raincoats and turtle necks, wasn't it?

I don't see how he did it...
But a bit more back on topic - You know what's really funny about condoms in porn? When they use the condom and then try to quickly remove it for a "shot". Anybody else seen one of those? The look of sheer panic as the dude quickly pulls and claws at the condom is hilarious....
lol ... yeah I have noticed that ... also once I saw the contents being drained out of one for a different kind of facial. 
As for circumcision - it's not so clear-cut ... ... *ahem* ... ... as if done incorrectly, it can lead to a whole manner of problems. If too much is cut off, it can lead to agonising pain when the penis is erect - I remember seeing something about that on telly a few years ago. 
Scared me, alright ... and as Bassman says, having your Todd Johnson scissored at the end when you're fully aware of what's going on? GOOD GOD, NO! 
I once briefly considered it, but then I saw that aforementioned TV show, and thought "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that!"
You see, that's another thing, a lot of porn is circumcised porn ... although amateur porn can be anything ... indeed, thinking about it, surely amateur porn is, in a weird way, better for teenagers to consume (instead of professional porn), as the people in amateur porn are usually normal people of all shapes, sizes, looks, and indeed cut or uncut downstairs.
I think female circumcision does 'pip' male circumcision at the post easily though, as wasn't that practice kind of a 'male dominance' thing? Power over women and all that ... plus the complications ... although as I said, male circumcision can, if done incorrectly, lead to agony and all sorts of trouble. Indeed, apparently an uncut knob has more sensitivity - because of the foreskin movement, or something like that ... I think I saw that on Channel 5.
