Problems with Modern Porn
Lauren has some wonderfully insightful things to say about the problems with porn.
It is refreshing to read commentary from a woman who is not
a) defending most straight porn as liberating or
b) trashing all straight porn as being a step away from rape.
Could it be that some of us just think straight porn is ridiculous and a gross misrepresentation of female sexuality? As Lauren says, not everyone understands that the actors are really actors. There are some fantasies that get incorporated into mini-realities that unenlightened or uneducated or just plan stupid people believe.
The problem I have with most porn is that it does not represent women in the way they wish to have their sexuality represented.
If it's just fantasy, why does it have to be fantasy based on a woman liking whatever she gets?
Why does it have to validate the very least men could do or physical mistreatment?
