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.

I don't know - I don't think porn actors/actresses are paid much....are they?

There are a variety of ethical issues in gay male porn, which are discussed and sometimes effectively dealt with by the gay community. I don't see what that has got to do with straight people or that it in any way is a justification for not discussing issues concerning pornography that apply only to women.

I agree with Maypole that very many people do watch pornography and that anybody entering a relationship should discuss the issue with their partner before problems arise. It seems from threads on MN that a lot of people are now ending up in relationships where they find out quite a long way into the relationship that their ideas of sexuality are completely at odds with those of their partner. It seems as if the OP was lucky that she found out fairly early on.

I can see WL's point that we cannot make assumptions, but I also think that it is part of being human that we will make initial judgements based on our perceptions of other people's body language and facial expressions. In the light of no other knowledge of the other person, it is inevitable that our emotional response will be based on how we perceive the other people to be feeling. In this case, the OP felt distress at what the other woman seemed to be expressing, which is fair enough.

Is that what made the anus so sore looking Dueling? Grin

Someone has posted a photo link on FB today with a big bald black man photographed in a pool from behind, and then a caption "Ever wondered where the term "dick head" comes from?"....because his head looks like a willy!!!!!

Oooh, I just found it on google:

I don't disagree with you OP, but it seems I am a lone voice.

For goodness sake, I'd be surprised if you found a woman, who wanted three men to ejaculate on her face, and during the sex act call her a bitch.

Perhaps I should have been concerned for the men in the film. The way it was acted out, they just came across as dirty old men to me.

I'm sure not all women are forced into porn, but its seems that some vulnerable women are coerced into it, shall we say.

I don't think you are a lone voice NN. I think it is just that people are not getting in to the porn debate too much because it has been done so frequently on here.

worraliberty · 26/10/2011 15:34

Then you are Very sheltered let me tell you Grin

Different things turn different people on. If a woman is turned on by a spunk shower and being called a bitch, that's her perogative.

I'm sure she doesn't need anyone's 'surprise' or judgement.

Mr blooms the ladies that are contacted with porn studios that run in the way MGM and disney used to can get paid between half a million to a million a year these girls are mega mega rich just jenna james

Having rough sex having your hair pulled or having it in at all ends seems to be at odds with most womens sexuality but my oh tells me stories from his uni days that would make your hair curl and not far off from whats happening in some porn as lets not forget not all porn is really wild or even hardcore

TenderlyLovinglyByAGoat · 26/10/2011 15:37

I think you are right too OP (although am quite interested in porn for different reasons), porn is just one of those indefensible things like prostitution and don't see how anyone can think about it for long without concluding that, on balance, the mere possibility (and there is reasonably high probability no?) of it not being consensual is enough to condemn it - before you even begin to contemplate the wider problems. Even as I type 'wider' I snigger, not grown up enough for this discussion, just wanted to agree with you.

maypole1 · 26/10/2011 15:41

oohlaalaa sorry but your Wong many might not admit it on hear but I have heard stories from my oh uni days and I have four brothers so its no lie

Even watching big brother or gordie shore will show you their are defiantly some women who want to be ejaculated over and be roughed up during sex

Jay from brig brother " I shave me arse I case the lass wants to lick my hoop"

Op I think you might be sexually a little naive

Their are women out their who get down and dirty not in porn in real life just because you wouldn't like it others do

rycooler · 26/10/2011 15:45

Op; have you never heard of the phrase 'Talk dirty to me' - ?

oohlaalaa · 26/10/2011 15:51

maypole1 - regarding wild uni days, there was a girl at uni who was known as Bucket(first name). She was promiscuous, and everybody knew she'd had group sex with three blokes from the rugby team, and that she took it up the arse. The group sex had even been filmed..

She may have been an enlightened feminist, but sadly she was known as Bucket (first name). I hate that men don't get the same reputation.

She dropped out before second year. I didn't know her, but always felt she was vulnerable and Sad for her. Me being prudish again, no doubt.

OP's ost of 15:32 This is the most blatantly transparant attempt at a bunfight I have ever seen Grin

OP if you want a debate, seek intelligent discussion. Don't fuck about with wishy washy, drip feeding bollocks about "I'm open to being wrong on this". It is tiresome and makes you look stupid.

TheQueenOfDeDead · 26/10/2011 15:56

Oh and S.T.O.P with the passive aggressive "me being prudish" stuff.

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

ROFL i laughed irl

you friend sounds like a nutcase tbh

MrSpoc · 26/10/2011 16:05

Op yes you are sheltered and a prude.

Even has different tastes.

I have had women scratching my back to bits, that bled for days afterwards. I have had women scream at me to talk dirty (worse names than bitch). My wife (first few weeks together) snook upstaris got dressed in some very kinky stuff then punced on me as I walk up the room (she was very rough that night, i loved it).

From your point of view all these women would of been vunerable or would of had a bad up bringing, but guess what they hadnt.

difficulttimes · 26/10/2011 16:05

sorry if that offends any mh posters if it does ill report myself.
