I think we should be careful not to glorify pornography. It demeans women and creates an unrealistic image of sex in the viewer?s mind. From the interviews I have read of women porn stars, many of them say they don?t even have orgasms during a filming. I?m sorry but faking orgasms isn?t acting by traditional means. And many women who have played parts in porn movies wind up regretting their "characters" for a lifetime.
I have seen this point made so much with porn and the link to demeaning woman. I used to think this, but honestly I do not anymore. Woman all around me, at work, with friends and even in my family, sleep around. They are no different then the men and they enjoy that life style to some degree. Does that demean them, any different then it demeans the porn female star who films it. I think the porn actresses might, to some degree, not realize how this discision will affect their future life. As boyfriends and any future relationship, might have a hard time with it. Is that any different though then the man who finds the woman of his dreams and finds out she was sleeping around a lot as a woman, before him? I just think it comes down to what you accept as demeaning, and what society tells you is demeaning.
You might see a woman that films a gang bang, as an abused woman, and demeaning. I might see it as a woman who is making money with her assets while she can. You might see a woman who becomes a lawyer and sues everyone for everything, as a person who is smart and an example of a strong modern woman. I might see a woman who is a bitch and worthless member of a decaying society. It's all in the hang-ups your youth taught you. I always liked the movie "Chasing Amy", as it kind of dealt with this a lot.
There is always going to be a woman, or even a man, who will come forward after porn and say it ruined them. Same with people who joined cults, who come away angry or upset with what it did. Yet there is going to be the other side too. We are a race that is so prudish into our sexual desires, that we must seem amazing odd, to creatures that might study us after are extention. So we screw and film it, so we do things on film, that we would not do in a marriage bed. Big deal, at least people are making some money and doing something many of us appreciate now. Using their freedom to do what makes them happy.
My only concern I have about porn, is that some of the modern things expected of woman, and the men, is not that healthy. Even if the person is desease free. It comes down to bacteria, and unclean behavior. If you need an example of what I am saying, look at the top ten most purchased movies on any adult movie site. You will see descriptions of woman doing things that might make you gage, and involve men doing things to them that does not seem medically safe (not talking anal ... but close). Anyway, the woman do it for the money, and they have since the beginning of time. If they choose to, then it is their choice. I do not see other humans as a representation of my personal pride, and do not see these porn woman as a representation of the high moral woman I know. They are who they are and should not be seen as a demeaning to anyone, other then themselves. If you even consider that kind of behavior demeaning. Which I do not!
