Porn

This weekend I borrowed a porn DVD, hadn't watched porn in a while, been doing good with my girlfriend.

Instead of enjoying it, I thought about what I was seeing.
Some of these girls were young, right on the limit... And I couldn't conceive how it is that these same girls aren't aloud to drink alcohol until they are 21, yet they can do this.

Argument goes that at a young age your too irresponsible to be getting drunk, that it is hazardous to your health et cetera.

But what happens to the life of some young naive girl, or boy for that matter, that gets themselves involved in the porn industry as soon as they're "legal"?

It basically renders all other avenues of success closed to you, you run an advance risk of contracting diseases, by ostracized by family and friends.

Not to mention how sleazy the people you'll be working with are going to be. A young 18 year old girl, with illusions of future fame or loads of cash will get broken. This DVD in particular was a brand name one, ostensibly accepted by America, it was a Hustler.

It wasn't described as being anything out of the ordinary, but the girls were pretty heavily abused for the most part, especially this fad for choking girls during oral. They're told thats what men like, that they have to do it, girls in the industry are constantly coerced to push it further, hell they are forced into homosexuality as well.

Shouldn't we rethink the minimum requirement of age for porn?
I don't mean the actual age of consent in real relationships, but to put a strick limit to people that want to get into the porn industry, give them a few more years to think of the implications.

That's the problem with mainstream porn. So much of it caters to this sexist idea that women's sexuality exists only for the appeasement of men's sexuality. And these women - and the men who watch porn - are being taught that female pain is arousing.

And really, most men don't and shouldn't think like that. There's a lot of censorship in porn - of course not in the way you'd think. Most mainstream stuff is designed for a specific kind of male fantasy. The kind of things arousing to women, homosexuals, and men who don't enjoy humiliating their partners, are marginalized.

I met a firefighter who was in his mid-thirties. When he was in his early twenties he had posed for Playgirl magazine. Nobody knew about it until he told people about it.... so I dont think doing all types of porn/nude photoshoots/etc makes you hindered from any sort of normal career after.
