Women, Porn and Degradation

As i was pondering in my pondering chair, over entitlement of transitioned states of matter (what to call melted froghurt) i suddenly became bored, so i did what every man does when they are bored, i watched porn. Luckily my pondering chair also doubles as my me-time chair and i was quickly getting re-aquainted with the Ol' palm pilot and redtube.com. Then suddenly i had a very shocking thought 'ZOMG am i degrading women?' I then imidiately switched back into my pondering chair (after finishing up ofcause) and began to ponder.

First of all I asked myself the obvious question 'Do i think any less of women or desire them any less as a result of porn? Nope!' and that could have been the end of it. But then i thought 'does porn damage the plight of women to live a life of equality and fairness?' Well given the fact that chauvanism has been rampant throughout history and in our era, women are finally experiencing more rights and better (but not quite total) equality than they ever have... AND comming to the conclusion that porn hasnt been around as long as chauvanism (i couldn't find the 1344BC march issue of playboy) i would also have to say no. In actuality, the period where porn has become more prominant is the same period that women have uplifted in society. Thats called correlating data and it may not be connected, but correlating data is the same basis for the gloabal warming theory. If i was an enviromental scientist and chauvenism was carbon emissions, i would be recomening the planting of porn-trees.

Not knowing where to go from here I then asked a girl and she said 'its degrading because the guy is enjoying it and the girl isnt'. So do men enjoy sex and not women? I could be a smart arse and point out the fact that if u counted all the times straight men had sex and straight women had sex, the two figures would be exactly the same, but we all know its about sex infront of the camera. For some reason, girls seem to think that doing porn is the dream job for guys and prostitution for girls. In response to this I ask you one question, how many good looking guys do you know that are porn stars? Or even, how many good looking guys do you know that are aspiring to be porn stars? My answer to both these questions was 0 and i can safely assume that the reason for this isnt limited job openings. The pretense that guys do porn for fun and girls do porn for money is more damaging to men than anything else. So patheticly driven by our primal urges, that we would willingly surrender our childhood aspirations of being somebody, just to get our dick wet, doesnt sit right with me as the common male mentality.

Its also worth noting that women watch porn too. Thats right girls we know about it, youve been pretty zealous in keeping your footing on that righteous pedestool but the cat is out of the bag.

The role women play in pornos has also triggered alot of concern in society. A very common perception is that women are always submiting to the will of the man and thus are playing the weaker role. Its important to note that the porn industry, like any other capitalist industry, is run on supply and demand. In general terms, the most attractive male role to a woman, is the man in control and for men, its for the woman to follow suit. Porn is carefully marketed to individuals with various desires, the man being in control just happens to be a universal one and therefore a safe market. If one were to say that the common porn film with a man in control during concentual sex is degrading to women, one would also have to say that a common 'desire' (for both men and women) for the man to be in control during concentual sex is degrading to women aswell. The idea that something a woman desires is degrading her isn't absurd, but it does conflict with the percieved tone of men versus women in porn. If a porno based on a fantasy of men can degrade women, can a porno based on the fantasy of women degrade women?

In the end girls, we are all in this together. If porn is degrading to anyone, its to men. Do you ever consider the scenario in which we view porn? We aren't sitting on chariots of women, being pulled along by collard women while whipping them with our women whip. We are in our room alone, with the door locked, trying to coordinate which hand will be lubed and which hand will man the mouse. Frankly, we arent even doing it because our main qualm is our main-vein, we do it because we wish we had someone to be with and this is often the closest thing we have.

Oh and i have also concluded that melted froghurt is not yoghurt, it is infact melted froghurt.
