Discussion thread regarding porn <trigger warning - contains distressing content & links>

From the twitter thread this article about animation. (I think) It references a type of animation I know Stacy Dooley did a piece on in Japan whereby cartoon mags are allowed to depict paedophilia - I know this is seen as an issue over there.

From the article - their reasoning: (baring in mind the dark fantasies are very extreme.)

*We aim to make movies for responsible adults...this medium bypasses the seedier facets of the pornography industry. In live action movies the viewer never really knows if the actresses are being exploited, especially in rape fantasies.

"We animate digital models in a safe environment, and the voice talent records from the safety of their own homes, which means that our medium is the ideal platform for exploring these darker themes with a clear conscience," Darkcrow said.

(Last line)
... they assure fans that they would never fully stop doing non-consensual scenes.*

Awful thread on twitter, but worthy of including re animation being funded by patreon.

This journalist has been interesting me as she seems to tackle some really big things.

If you dig through the articles on there, there are many links to outside research articles or sites compiling them. E.g:

www.yourbrainonporn.com/studies-reported-relationships-between-porn-use-or-porn-addictionsex-addiction-and-sexual#less

Resources for parents and teens linked on the site too.

Correction, it's a US organisation and seems pretty big.

Good thread idea!

I'll post my only link from the previous thread, however on further investigation of the website, it looks like a good resource (actually for teens to look at?) seems to be an app but is in NZ/ Australia.

Mission statement:

"Fight the New Drug is a non-religious, non-legislative, nonprofit organization that exists to provide individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding pornography. We do this by raising awareness on its harmful effects using only science, facts, and personal accounts."

Some links on the Ann Summers petition about how easily distribution of porn increases the rape rate

Ah brilliant!!

Haha I think we are actually the same person - I was doing exactly the same thing!

YES! Just seen that they've made it with 6 minutes to go!

Kickstarter FAQs says no one is charged unless the goal is reached.

I missed the other thread but I agree with the sentiment on here that many people are not aware of the hideous type of porn that dominates now

Going on PornHub is certainly an education in the malevolance of men. It is all the nasty horrific fantasies of men there in front of you presented as legitimate.

I recommend any women to spend an hour on there and listen to their gut about porn

I keep sharing it on Facebook! Have you done that too?

I was just wondering the exact same thing @VaguelyAware! I really hope it doesn't just nullify everything :(

Following - thanks for the thread @VaguelyAware

Pleasure vs profit is a good film featuring young people which is suitable for young people to watch.

Pornland by Gail dines is a good book to read.

Thanks for reminding me to donate

Since this is a resource thread, here's a link to the BMJ study on attitudes to anal sex among young people (with the abstract below):

bmjopen.bmj.com/content/4/8/e004996.short?g=w_open_current_tab

Objective To explore expectations, experiences and circumstances of anal sex among young people.

Design Qualitative, longitudinal study using individual and group interviews.

Participants 130 men and women aged 16–18 from diverse social backgrounds.

Setting 3 contrasting sites in England (London, a northern industrial city, rural southwest).

Results Anal heterosex often appeared to be painful, risky and coercive, particularly for women. Interviewees frequently cited pornography as the ‘explanation’ for anal sex, yet their accounts revealed a complex context with availability of pornography being only one element. Other key elements included competition between men; the claim that ‘people must like it if they do it’ (made alongside the seemingly contradictory expectation that it will be painful for women); and, crucially, normalisation of coercion and ‘accidental’ penetration. It seemed that men were expected to persuade or coerce reluctant partners.

Conclusions Young people's narratives normalised coercive, painful and unsafe anal heterosex. This study suggests an urgent need for harm reduction efforts targeting anal sex to help encourage discussion about mutuality and consent, reduce risky and painful techniques and challenge views that normalise coercion.

It is a bit weird that, on the site I looked on, most if not all of the 'top vids watched in the UK' are incest based.
