It's one thing for a woman to negotiate what she likes and doesn't like in a sexual encounter, but what about a 15 year old who is involved with a boy who has been watching hardcore pornography for years, what if he wants rough sex, and in her inexperience she thinks this is normal? and what if her sexuality is formed by this, and this normalises what she thinks of as sex, and then maybe when she does come into contact with pornography it doesn't seem so strange because this is what sex has always been like to her.Mildred Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462576604486019365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919053062746049390.post-24802845231569821352010-05-12T09:03:20.823-07:002010-05-12T09:03:20.823-07:00Whenever people lump condemning pornography with c...Whenever people lump condemning pornography with condemning violent video games and movies (which is always thought of to be a bad thing), I lose it. They don't see it as real. But when are women ever real, breathing, living humans to them? Nothing scares me more than the fantasy rhetoric-it proves the person in there is only a doll to them. It's sick the things people will defend.<br /><br />Thanks for writing this.

I can truely identify with your posts having suffered from drug abuse, sexual assault, and feelings of isolation and low self esteem. <br />I also despise porn and the men who use it. Most of it is degrading and promotes the attitude that it is ok to use and abuse women for sexual gratification.<br />My blog address is http://theactressinme.blogspot.com<br />Take care and stay strong xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03502685304845804975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919053062746049390.post-10977664438746825632010-05-08T14:58:30.782-07:002010-05-08T14:58:30.782-07:00Yes, thank you so much, it's a very inspiratio...Yes, thank you so much, it's a very inspirational post. I'm trying to write a play about porn at the moment! Maybe I'll send you that one too when it's ready :) Your courage really inspires me to keep going, and to be brave with what I'm saying. Hope you're hanging in there. xxSkin Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888732305925862287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919053062746049390.post-30127812140712923152010-05-05T23:56:58.596-07:002010-05-05T23:56:58.596-07:00Thanks so much for writing this.

It a very powerful and moving post.<br /><br />I cannot get my head around that porn is viewed as harm-free and just fantasy, for it is so real in my body and my mind.<br />As you said - it's hurts so much when it is dismiss that way.<br /><br />I was filmed when I was violently gang-raped and other sadistic stuff when I was prostituted. I have no idea what was done with that film - whether it is still out there.<br />But if it was made into porn, and made a profit - I had no say or rights in that.<br />If it viewed as entertainment - then know I was in terror, my body was close to death and I had no rights or dignity.<br /><br />That is just a small example of what porn is.<br /><br />It is not empowering. It not just acting. It not usually done out of a free choice.<br />It is about degradation of women and girls. It is real and terrifying violence. It can be life-threatening or giving serious injuries or diseases. <br /><br />There is no reason that porn should exist - not if you truly believe in making women and girls have full rights to be humans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
