History of Feminism

I don't download or watch entire movies, but I can't honestly criticize what I know nothing about. The areas of porn I find disturbing are the increasing bizarre fetishism-- the kind that can cause harm, the commercial aspect of it,a the absolutely blatant racism, and the popular "teenage slut" and variations of that theme.

I can watch a certain amount of porn even if I disagree with the pornography industry because it's NOT erotic. Very little sensuality, it focuses a lot on degradation. I get bored fast. I went through some male gay porn recently and found some of the same aspects of degradation, and focus on underage, but not nearly in the amount of hetero, or even Gay women. (The largest demographic that purchases porn of Gay women are young males, the porn industry responded accordingly)

It's too bad really. Pornography doesn't have to degrade or objectify-- it could simply tell sexual adventure story. But the way society is set up, is people pay to watch sexual humiliation, with women bearing the brunt of it. It causes great harm to the sexual imagination in my opinion.

I was reading some old, but decent erotica recently and some horror porn and thought now this is what genre writing is about. (Horror porn cracks me up--in that darkly ironic way. It also doesn't try to hide misogyny.)

Even "The Story of O" while it doesn't tell a moral tale, tells a story of a women who tried to rule her sexuality through submission, which ended sadly in her case.

Apparently we can't replicate stories, or usually, even eroticism in movies.
