Mums Make Porn

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

Anyone watching?

Yes

I was in my 40s before I watched any porn...

I'm watching

I think it’s interesting that they are featuring a well spoken, articulate, married, happy porn actress who ‘loves’ her job..

I've only seen clips like in this programme. I'm not interested in watching porn

(because that can’t be representing the reality surely?)

I think this is incredibly bloody sad. Its ruining people...especially men.

Cant we invent some kind of Tardis and turn back time.

One of the 4 women involved in making this documentary is a friend of mine. She is AMAZING, the most inspiring woman I know.
I think what they are aiming to do is very important.

I’ve seen the backlash in papers today about one of the mums going outside and vomiting after viewing some of the “research material” - ie porn available online. Some really ridiculous comments about her reaction.
To be honest, I’ve seen some pretty extreme, utterly foul content that is available online thanks to some of DHs mates who think it’s hilarious to try and out-shock each other via WhatsApp and some of it is definitely vomit inducing.
I think what these mums are doing is great. I know my kids will see porn at some point, and I’d much rather them see real people, with normal bodies having real sex, than see blow-up-doll looking women being treated like nothing more than holes to be fucked!

I think they are marvellous.

I started watching this. Like someone above said, the only porn I've seen is what's shown on documentaries. What struck me was that the porn seemed more about violence and humiliation against women then about actual sex. Is that fairly representative of what teens / tweens are able to view??

If you Google the word 'porn' and look at the images you'll get an idea what a curious tween or teen will see (and they certainly are probably curious at that age)

First image for me is rear view of anal, second is I'm not entirely sure (cum filled stretched anus I think) third is a gaping woman being cumed on by many men.

At a glance there wasn't much in the way of 'ordinary' sex.

(I just googled this and discover my providers' "family filter" evidently do not work.)

I missed it as too busy, ahem with the real thing
I think from what I heard it was good.
isn't it saying that porn we see today is so wrong and not like it used to be.

Heck, RedForShort. Makes a really good argument for this being brought in to relationship & sex Ed. In year 7 perhaps?

And someone mentioned how depressing the hashtag is on Twitter :(

Not watching but I do find the whole online porn thing utterly depressing. Why can't internet/mobile phone providers do something to keep it out of the grasp of under age kids...so that basically you have to "opt in" and provide credit card details to access it? Am I being too simplistic thinking that's possible and might help to address the problem?

I think that the cat's out of the bag yearin

I'm watching a bit more now. Emma, the original mum, is absolutely great. I just saw her reassuring and validating one of the others, she's absolutely brilliant.

Not all 18+ year olds need or want a credit card.

Perhaps passport numbers would be better.

I'm now watching the bit where a mum is crying at titles about rape of girls and incest . And this is what people on Twitter were mocking. What's wrong with people?

I was a bit taken aback at how naive the women were tbh. I had a 'naice' upbringing, no dating til 20'ish,didn't see any porn til late 20's & didn't lose my virginity til 22 but kind of knew porn could be extreme even before then.. I also think they're naive to think their children won't have seen any already(the woman with orange hair said 'if' her daughter saw this). I know really nice15yr old girls whose same age boyfriends had them on porn sites from the get go. They're lovely girls, but they think if they don't go along they'll be dumped.

CSIblonde I was a little surprised too, but I understood some of the reactions to the more extreme stuff.
I was well aware that extreme pornography exists, and have seen my fair share of things I’d rather not see ever again, but I understood the orange-haired lady’s reaction to the rape porn It’s utterly foul to think that there are people out there who actively seek out this kind of stuff and get off on it. Even if the woman in the video is a consenting participant, it’s obvious to anyone with a vagina, that she is not going to be enjoying any of it, and a lot of it is going to be painful. It’s disgusting

Porn is completely changing the way young people have sex. Friends of mine in their 20s tell me that from teenage years they are expected to have anal sex, get slapped, pulled nipples, violent sex. No slow gentle, affectionate sex. Programmes like this fuck me off as they always find the women that like being sex workers never representing the many who get raped, have been trafficked, groomed, sexually abused as a child etc etc

@MephistophelesApprentice not all teenagers have passports.

I am really anti porn since I had a really bad experience with my partner being very addicted. The affect it can have on the brain is shocking and similar to that of a drug/alcohol addiction. If you can keep control of the use like you would with drugs/alcohol then whatever. I found that loads of people do get really addicted.

Mybreadiseggy fucking hell thats grim,what delightful friends your dh has what age group are his friends in? I find it really disturbing that some men want to 'outshock' each other with images of abuse & don't think about the bigger picture.

If you are interested in younger people's views on the porn industry, 'Porn Laid Bare' on BBC iPlayer is worth watching.
Haven't had chance to watch 'Mums make Porn' yet.

There’s a series on bbc3 called Porn Laid Bare that’s really interesting too. A group of young people exploring the industry. Some are anti porn, some high users, some ex users, some occasional users.

Really interesting the people they meet, they take part in studies themselves, and by the end the views of some of the group have really changed in various ways.
