Pornography

An ex boyfriend put on a porn DVD. I was so enraged I finished with him.

It seemed to me, that this young mixed up girl (looked like she was about 17 or 18 to me) was being taken advantage of, and had been manipulated into it. I could not believe that this girl would want a gang bang, with the finale being three men ejaculating on her face. Euugh.

I found it misogynistic and exploitative. I'm not a prudish nutcase usually.

A bit of titillation in Mags lads has never bothered me, neither have lap dancing clubs. It was the power over woman I hated, in this DVD. It focused on the women's face and body, but not his.

Am I being unreasonable to think that pornography is exploitative to women, and hating how women are portrayed in hardcore porn?

Before you go judging me for watching this cr*p, it was about ten years ago. I ask this question now, as one of my friends said that she'd binned her boyfriends DVD stash, when she moved in with him.

You're entitled to your opinion. I think the rage is over the top, but you're entitled to be enraged if you want and better now than afterwards. Your friend made that mistake and started her new relationship by destroying his property. Not a good beginning if you want a genuine relationship.

I don't think she binned them as such, just told him to. Neither of us like how pornography portrays women.

I'm not so much enraged, but I was at the time, as I just found myself flinching for the girl.

Oh dear god Biscuit

And yes before anyone gets angry that is a biscuit and not an anus.

GypsyMoth · 26/10/2011 14:34

And what do you want us all to do about this op?

Nixea · 26/10/2011 14:35

Worra!! I'm never going to look at a biscuit emote the same way again now!

Thingumy · 26/10/2011 14:36

arf at the anus biscuit

Whatmeworry · 26/10/2011 14:36

Yes, but were their fanjos shaved or not :o

oohlaalaa · 26/10/2011 14:38

Okay then, those who are giving out biscuits and hiding threads, could you kindly educate me, as to why porn is not exploitative to women.

It's a long time ago, and me and this ex, were not right together anyhow. At the time, I was enraged, as I could not believe this girl enjoyed and had made the choice, all on her own, to be treated like a piece of meat.

Also, why should it not be debated on mumsnet.

I'm open to being wrong on this.

Not if she is young and pretty, no.
You have to get your kicks where you can, when you are as mishapen and ugly as I am! Blush

What should he not every women feels the same and to be honest having porn dvds is so 90s has he not heard of the Internet

Personally I love a spicy movie gets things going

I don't see how it exploits women
As often the men get paid a third of what the women do and on the Internet at least the ones I have watched they are often real couples husbands and wife's
