2.) Porn is one of the few industries that is totally dominated by women, often women from poor or working class backgrounds. Those in the upper echelons of society want to ensure this group of women remains socially maligned because they don't control the industry. They do this with any industry that they don't control.
Porn is actually an industry totally dominated by a couple French Canadian guys and an Israeli bank... this is the actual truth.
Because your ignoring the TYPE of porn women like.
50 shades of grey anyone?
How many dudes read raunchy romance novels?
Seriously? The survey focused in Internet porn use and women DO watch regular porn. Fifty shades of yawn hardly counts as literature let alone porn.
This is from the survey:
"In terms of basic results, they found that 73 percent of women and 98 percent of men reported internet porn use in the last six months, for a total of 85 percent of respondents. For porn use within the last week, the numbers were lower: 80 percent of men and 26 percent of women. Prerecorded videos were the most common type of online porn used."
It’s an interesting question....
Yes they are viewed negatively whilst their content being is being enthusiastically consumed ...
I think it’s got to do with religious Puritanism (or various types)
A genuine view that is held by the majority that the best society is based on monogamous sexual relationships therefore a ( quite reasonable) view that sexual display beyond mainstream titillation that’s generally accepted is something to be avoided.
Most sex workers are not trafficked or forced in anyway but basically are using what skills they may possess ( and it’s not a unskilled career) to maximise their financial returns. Let’s face it without education and a mainstream grounding the sex industry is the only game in town where a 24yo girl without a high school diploma can make $100k plus a year if she’s savvy.
One thing I do believe is many of the participants have extremely low self esteem and frequently suffer from a history of prior abuse and or mental instability. Of course the question here is did that cause them to gravitate towards the sex industry or is it simply that people who have suffered such issues find it very hard to build a normal career and therefore gravitate towards the sex industry because they can essentially choose their own hours and terms and make a living working only a few days a week which would make managing their lives easier.
I do believe that monogamy is the basic building block of modern society but I’m not puritanical and I support people’s rights to make choices for themselves but people who make such choices will attract a stigma from other people who simply find such displays uncomfortable and when you combine that with the residual religious ideals and the (usually wrong) perception that the sex industry is something underground or grubby I’m not surprised it’s not acceptable to the vast majority.
which might make it special pleading or a double standard, or maybe its different. im comfortable saying its a little of both.
manwithnoname has a point though, the specifics of the question shape the answer. that might give a very incomplete summary of the situation, and lead to false conclusions when people try to extrapolate the nature of the people summarised from the incomplete (slanted) data. not that it doesnt happen all the time.
Yes a question can skew the outcome, but even then, it's highly unlikely that folks are going to self identify as consumers of internet porn when there is any doubt in what they mean by "internet porn". Looking at nude images isn't looking at porn, and I don't think anyone who looked at nudes would state they were surfing porn, even if the nudes were more Hustler than Playboy. Watching porn is like masturbation, everyone does it (more or less), but few admit it.
The picture is clearly incomplete, the two classifications are in the last 6 months, and within the last week, there's no idea of how many watch daily, or monthly, or annually. However it's clear that men consume it more frequently, than women, even allowing for some inaccuracy from lines of questioning, but women consume it far more frequently than some believe.
No little girl says...when I grow up I aspire to be a stripper...porn star or slave to societies sexual releases.
In this current era of child trafficking and forcing most whom ppl delight in viewing on the internet ...I find it a no win for any child or lady to be given the choice. Sugar babies rank right there with tossing their dignity to the side in light of $$$.
Spare me the puritan rhetoric. Most ppl in that industry aren't going to see more then a day into their future...at 85 I doubt they want to sit around with the relatives and say hey! Who wants to see Uncle Johnny doing X.. and Y with a complete stranger who's underage. Yeah ...not many ...if any.
Porn is actually an industry totally dominated by a couple French Canadian guys and an Israeli bank... this is the actual truth.
