Do you feel that prostitution and pornography are harming women's sexualities? Why or why not?

Question

I'd just like to hear what every one thinks. I am writing a paper and I would like to start by hearing different opinions.

When you answer please specify your gender.

Answer 1

I am a male

I think that if they are getting paid then it helps them unless they catch an STD

Answer 2

I found out p**n girls also take pain killers during anal s*x scenes, but guys watching it think that they enjoy it and then complain about why their girlfriend is having pain during anal s*x.

Tasteful p**n can be stimulating to a couple getting ready for s*x or can teach a curious beginner, but some of the p**n out there is just very fake and misleading.

Female.  

And, one guy asked me "How come you don't moan like the girls in the movies?"

Answer 3

Lol, p**n shows us how to be???  Any p**n star will tell you in private (not in real life because professionally they need to love s*x) but their noises are fake, their smiles are fake, their having s*x in positions to give the audience a show not to get the most pleasure.  Sure it feels good but s*x between the p**n stars and their lovers is way different (usually) just get to know one and they will give you the low down.  Yes p**n is ruining sexuality because look at this guy who thinks it has any resemblance to real adult s*x that is pleasing to a woman.  If he is looking for that, he'll have little luck poor guy and the poor girls who he will date and he will find lacking when they are not, hmmm yes ruining, definitely.

Answer 4

The working girls and p**n stars might harm themselves through some venereal mishap.  That's unlikely, though, since they are pros.

Answer 5

Well it's women who are doing it, for whatever reason they have.  And yes they are harming themselves.  I'm not sure about womens sexualities, or that it harms women as a whole.  I'm not harmed by it.  To each his own.  You are forced to pay for everything else in this world, why not your women??

Answer 6

I know that when a young girl is exposed to pornography early in life it can have an effect akin to sexual and emotional abuse. It also can cause them to hate men.

I'm a female.

Answer 7

it's certainly led to the sexualisation of society

Answer 8

First of all I am Female.

harming women's sexualities.............

Second of all I believe these persons as you say are addicted to s*x. The owner & publisher of Hustler Mag. L                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Flint says women expliot themselves. Tis True

Answer 9

The only negative thing p**n has ever done is make my p***s raw.

Although i did play a part.

Answer 10

Male, 17 year old.

Yes, it damages women ALOT, but not everyone notices..

AND

It also damges men, and NO ONE freaking notices, it damages them in the way they denigrate with p**n, the way it pollutes the brain, time waste, money waste.

The girls that do this, might also be our loved ones.

It doesn't only affect women -_-.

One of the greatest problems in this world, if you ask me.

But it's all money, so th government keeps everyone blind.

Answer 11

I think that since the onset of the home video player, far more people have and do access pornography.  Some men cannot draw a line between the porno world and the real world, and after watching enough pornography, regular s*x doesn't "get it up" for them.  They put pressure on their girlfriends to do things that porno stars do, when the girlfriend is not willing or interested.  Sometimes too much pornography just makes a man virtually impotent.  If he is married his wife suffers, and probably divorces him.

I think in general, pornography has a bad effect on people if they use it regularly for long periods of time.

Answer 12

Thank you third wave feminism. If I were to get married to a nice-family oriented girl today, theres a d**n good chance she can be a career mom as well as do a spread-eagle swing off of a stripper pole while jacking me off.

Answer 13

I don't understand this:

If it's a woman's "right" to do what she wants with her body (i.e. Roe vs. Wade and abortion), why doesn't she have the RIGHT to sell it (i.e. prostitution)?  It makes no sense.  It's talking out of both sides of your mouth.

With the exception, of course, of children and p**n.  That's just disgusting.
