Thread: Does pornography degrade women?

I think that the girls who get into the porn bussiness just see a way to get fast money without having to use thier brains. That's just my opinion.

of course it's degrading. that's what makes it so appealing today. that's also what helps it to drive such a painful wedge between couples. guys get off watching women being degraded - but their real-life partners don't allow that, much less want it. and his interest in porn drifts away from his interest in real life sex.

a woman's choice to participate doesn't impact whether or not it's degrading. that simply shows us that there are women who will allow themselves to be degraded - for a variety of reasons.

is that really a surprise? steve-o allows himself to have his buttcheeks stapled together.

does that mean stapling your skin isn't painful, just because a guy will willingly do it on tv?

Good to see you back Wilhelm!

My thought on this is that I think it really degrades sex itself.

My wife always says - you can't unsee things. And the more you see things the more you are willing to accept them - and then rationalize that acceptance.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong - but I know there are certain things I've seen that I can say are extremely degrading to women. And most of those aren't porn (music videos)...

The problem is whether a woman watching should feel degraded if the woman performing in the video doesn't? No two people have the same morals, self esteem, inhibitions, financial needs, etc...

So it's a really subjective question, and as a guy I can only say this - I know for a fact my wife would say it's degrading, and I'll go with that.

They all look sorta bored sometimes in some pornos...and the women are obviously faking it 90% of the time IMO. It's *work*! LOL....but some videos are better than others. Degrading? No. Probably not true, IMO.

I'm not interested in selling myself for sex. My product is to good to have an actually figure place on it. The average billionaire couldn't afford it.

Shower me with gifts or money, but there is still no guarantee you get some. That's my decision to make.

I can only say for those women who do it, they are built from a different kind of thread than I. If their fine, it's their life.

As for the men paying money for skin giving women power, it's not the skin at all. It's the magic treasure box that gets the real cash going and has maintain its power of men since the beginning of time.

I like that! This is where the phrase "You go girl" fits in right nice.

I believe Porn itself could be degrading to a woman who lets herself perform in it. I could lie and say, hey I would never watch it again but that would be a lie. I enjoy it sometimes but my husband doesn't so we have not looked at it for probably a year. He filled himself full of it in the Navy so his brain can absorb no more. Then he has me....

I find that by looking at it that maybe it validates the sexual woman that I am. My actions with my husband are wild as theirs are wild and can turn a man into all that he was created to be. The first film I saw probably near 20 months ago blew my mind. I found as she raised her legs in the air that I did the same. I was confused. But only for a moment. I then remembered the thrill of the man in bed with me as he enjoyed my new found self.

For me it was good. It lets me be me.


Oh, and Lady Lane I, too, saw. Tommie Lee and Pamela Anderson on the boat and their films. We were on vacation. He did me three times that night at the motel. That man is hung. Kind of ruined my night but, I remember it well....

I don't get it I work in a porn video rental place and some people come in that are married and get porn while there wifes and people are at work. I don't get the point of that. In some of the porns there their are women that are married and others the man are married. What I don't get is why the man or the women wants to have sex with some random guy when the are married I know for a fact I wouldn't do that. . I don't see how their relationship works, sex is suppose to be something special right? Not just something you go and have with some random guy or something right?

Porn is degrading because of the way it imagines women. As sex toys. Granted there are some all-female owned and operated companies, but that's a rarity. It preys on the physical assets of a woman, grinds them up and spits them out with ravaged vaginas.
