731 Words3 Pages

In the last decades porn in the literal meaning of the word just burst into our lives from the pages of print publications, videos, screens and TV. The aggressiveness with which advertising of porn sites intrudes even on sites with harmless theme is amazing. The consumption of pornography (or "sexually explicit materials") is a global and mass phenomenon. As a result, porn culture puts a sign of equality between sex, love and intimacy, completely distorting the meaning of these concepts.
In pornography the woman is shown as a commodity, "deprived of mind" sexual toy. All this leads to sexual discrimination, and thereby reinforces stereotypes and prejudices created by mankind in relation to men and women. There are basic symptoms, which are …show more content…

It means that only those women correspond to standards of erotic publications who remains in force - a perfect body, mystery and inaccessibility. And most of men who failed even to approach sex with the woman of their dreams, feel cheated or unmanly (weak).
A man sees beautiful women as collectibles that show the world who is a man. The mentality of "women's bodies as trophies", damaging thinking in youth, becomes even more devastating in adult life. In addition, trophies, once won, should become the property of the winner it is an indispensable symbol of physical achievements and merits. It is not possible to apply in relation to women's bodies.
A man fears true intimacy. He is unable to build trust and deep relationship with a woman, despite the deep loneliness. Pornography pays scant attention to men's needs in sensuality and intimacy with a woman, but exaggerates the importance of their sexual needs. Thus, the current bias develops in some men sexual concerns, which greatly hinder the filling those needs, and which can be obtained only in an emotionally intimate relationship with men and in non-sexual relationships with …show more content…

And most importantly it leads to an increase in the value of sexual relationships without commitment (loyalty) to the partner.
In addition, in some studies, researchers have observed numerous sustainable changes in the perception of sexual orientation and sexual behavior after repeated demonstrations of pornography volunteers (six weekly sessions of 1 hour). These changes include simplified attitude to rape as a criminal offence, exaggerated idea of the prevalence (popularity) very sexual practices in society, the increase of roughness (callousness) in relation to women and their problems, dissatisfaction with the sexual relationship and the diminishing importance of trusting, intimate relationship with a partner.
In clinical practice doctors have encountered with children and adults who have suffered of significant damage when confronted with pornography.

  • Gonad The Barbarian And The Venus Fly Trap Analysis

    994 Words  | 4 Pages

    Anne McClintock wrote her essay “Gonad the Barbarian and the Venus Flytrap: Portraying the female and male orgasm” to examine pornography and how it has changed throughout history and its effects on how women perform as sexual beings. McClintock focuses on the various roles of pornography such as its emphasis on voyeurism, pleasure, and the male ego. She wants her readers to know that women are still not represented in pornography to satisfy their own desires, but they are there to cater to men and their subconscious. I will analyze how McClintock argues that due to the history of sexism towards women, the roles that men and women have in pornography are inherently different because of the societal belief that women are only seen as objects of sexual desire and are solely there to satisfy the male audience.

  • Analysis Of Alan H. Goldman's 'Plain Sex'

    Inside and beyond the myth and the social impact of the subject as One or Substance. Alan H. Goldman’s essay ‘Plain Sex’ is a central contribution to the academic debate about sex within the analytic area, which has been developing since the second half of the ‘90s in Western countries. Goldman’s purpose is encouraging debate on the concept of sex without moral, social and cultural implications or superstitious superstructures. He attempts to define “sexual desire” and “sexual activity” in its simplest terms, by discovering the common factor of all sexual events, i.e. “the desire for physical contact with another person’s body and for the pleasure which such contact produces; sexual activity is activity which tends to fulfill such desire of the agent” (Goldman, A., 1977, p 40).

Women’s sole purpose is to be that of another subject’s intentions and manipulations.

  • The Purity Myth Analysis

    In a society that is heavily influenced by mass media, women are repeatedly compartmentalized into unrealistic, and often degrading standards of appearance and sexuality. Doris Bazzini’s research on magazines and Caroline Heldman’s blog explores themes related to a woman’s appearance, while Jessica Valenti elaborates on the concept of virginity in her essay titled, “The Purity Myth”. Despite the diversity in scope when it comes to womanhood, there is a numerous set of expectations that a female must fit in order to be “ideal”. However, this checklist is so specific and debasing that it renders the criteria useless. The three main pre-requisites in being the ideal woman include physical attractiveness, sexual accessibility, and purity.

  • Objectifying Women In The Handmaid's Tale

    This form of objectification is often used as a means to appeal to men's sexual desires in order to promote and attract consumers, because marketers still latch onto the old “sex sells”, or so it would seem (Rowland, 2016). Music videos, magazines, fashion commercials, are all channels through which women are exploited and put out to be headless objects isolated for their bodies solely for sexual pleasure and viewing purposes. Rowland explains that although this charade may allure and trap most men, this is not the case for women. Emma Rooney cites in The Effects of Sexual Objectification on Women's Mental Health, “the sexual objectification of women is a driving and perpetuating component of gender oppression, systemic sexism, sexual harassment, and violence against women”. Jessica Vanlenti writes in ‘Worldwide sexism…Women’, that researchers from The University of Missouri-Kanas and Georgia State found these forms of objectification to be linked to women’s psychological distress, and are leading causes of suicide among young adolescent women.

The pornography industry is predominantly catered to the male perspective, hence the male viewpoint portrayed against the female viewpoint portrayed in pornography.
