SUBSCRIBEIs There A Place For Pornography In ANY Relationship?
It is one of the most thankless jobs in the world. Men and women sprawling on makeshift movie sets–indoors or outdoors, rain or shine–to bring the public what they want to see: Sex and nakedness on their local tube or computer screen.
Porn is a booming business
From posing naked bodies to oral sex to intercourse to orgasm the adult movie business, and industry is available to people around the world 24/7.
Be it in the privacy of a motel room, bedroom of a family, on a computer laptop, bought at an adult bookstore or shop, etc. the billion dollar business is enjoying its best business ever.
Do you admit to your partner that you watch porn?

Objections to porn
Whatever you do, though, do not tell the feminists, government, or the church set. In a rare show of agreement, these three groups find many things offensive because of one reason or another.
Feminists feel women are objects and are devalued in power and purpose; in the past few years, the U.S. government is ever trying to make more regulation on the books making it harder for consenting adults; the church and moralist find tons wrong over issues ranging from the glorification of premarital sex to the promotion of gay / lesbian / bisexual / transgender “lifestyles”.
Each group has validated their points regarding the ills of pornography (according to their belief systems). I believe instead of taking the battle against the things most consenting adults enjoys we can focus the battle against issues 90% of adults can agree on (i.e. child pornography, child abuse, etc). Plus, I wish these groups would press the issue regarding the performers and their health (i.e. mandatory testing by studios of all performers).
Is porn getting a bad rap?
Now the first question we need to ask is if pornography is getting a bad rap or not? My answer for this one is yes! Many definitions can be made for pornography, but one I would like to use and stick with is this one:
Pornography: The art that captures the fantasies, desires, and dreams of the populace’s sexual lives. Its function is to stimulate, educate, and entice the viewer to visual ideas towards sexuality.
Can it be improved?

Thanks for this article. I live in a Liberal Arts college town and as a result there is a heavy feminist influence here.
Now, there is a smaller sect of younger feminists who contend that pornography (viewing of and appearing in) is highly empowering, that it’s not just a man’s world anymore. As a male porn viewer, I find this very refreshing and see this as one of the positive effects of the Slut Culture that is so prevalent with the twenty-something set in the States.
However, there are far more folks in my town that hold the idea that all sex must have meaning. That it must be tantric. No screwing for the sheer pleasure of it, if you will. The spiritualists that flood to my town are a big part of this attitude, but more importantly, it is the high population of pseudofeminists that influence this attitude most (IMHO).
I can’t even begin to count the number of people I’ve spoken with that are completely closed off to any form of porn, especially if it comes from a male. Nearly everyone of these “feminists” declare porn as degrading to women. Sure, there are plenty of flicks out there with the women being degraded, but most of it isn’t. It’s consensual adults having a good time in front of the camera.
When I ask them why they say porn is degrading to women, they almost always respond with, “IT JUST IS!” Where’s the thought behind that? They have no reason to hate porn except to follow what they’ve been taught.
Some do have a reason, but it’s almost always in regards to blowjobs as degrading, that it’s a man asserting his dominance over women. Yet, these same women will often state that they love being eaten out. How is that any less degrading than a blowjob (not that I think either is)? It’s all about the approach.
I feel that most wives who forbid their husbands from watching porn are basing their negative outlook based on ignorance, or rather, on merely going with the status-quo that says porn is bad.
I agree that any partner should respect the other’s feelings on a subject, but shouldn’t the couple discuss it openly? If the wife is simply forbidding her husband from porn without any thought on the matter, is she respecting his wishes and desires. Marriage is a two-way street that requires each half to openly listen to their partner.
BTW - I’m not pleading my own case here. My wife doesn’t care if I watch porn, even though she’s not a huge fan (read: she thinks it’s okay, just not something she flocks to).
