Porn

Share this:

Screen Shot 2016-02-26 at 06.49.30Gone are the days when porn was on the top shelf of the newsagents and you had to go to a sex shop to by a porn video.  If you are sitting at your computer, type in any word slightly related to sex and you could end up with graphic photos.  And it is just as easy to watch live videos online (much is free) or have a private session with a girl who will do what you ask her.  Just get your credit card ready.  Internet porn is a rapidly growing industry.

Internet sex is nothing like real sex.  Besides being available to anyone, almost anywhere, porn has changed – now almost half of porn shows violence against women.  As Ran Gavrieli says in his very emotional Ted Talk – porn is filmed prostitution.  Porn is not about healthy sexual relations – it is male domination of women and often violent domination.  What is normal sex – love, caresses, kisses, pleasure, sensuality.  What is porn – rape, humiliation, domination, violence, pain.

And the women in most porn videos have been surgically modified; fake boobs, surgery on their faces, trimmed labia, no pubic hair.  This gives men and women an unrealistic  idea of what a naked woman should look like.

Most pop videos are boarding on porn – many have girls in tiny bikinis, running around after the male singer.  And even female singers make videos that are sexually explicit.  These can be easily accessed by everyone.

And one of the most worrying problems is revenge porn – when girls or women are filmed having sex with their partner with the understanding that it was for private view but then it ends up online. Girls can be haunted on social networks no matter if they move school or town.

Those watching internet porn must also understand that they are being watched.  Porn websites collect data on their users.

Porn is in every house that has an internet connection – it is one click away.   Most 10 year old boys have searched porn and by age 12, 90% have watched porn.  30 million Americans watch porn regularly.  Anyone can easily access images and videos of thousands of girls doing everything imaginable (and some things we have never thought of!!). We need to educate our men and boys to not watch these images of women being violated.  This should not be the way they become aroused or give them the idea that this is normal sex.  We all need to understand what makes a healthy adult relationship.  We need to teach about love, consent, loyalty, respect.

And it is so sad how many young girls are becoming lost in the porn industry.  Read more.

And we now have feminist porn filmmakers such as Erika Lust who are making films where pleasuring the woman is at the forefront.
