  • TaeTaehas quoted2 years ago
    The word pornography comes from the Greek pome, which means prostitute or whore, and graphos, which means depiction or writing. Pornography is, at its core, the commercialization of women, turning men into consumers and women into a product to be used and discarded.

    But pornography is not just naked women, and it is not sex. The sexual acts depicted in pornography are more about shame, humiliation, solitude, coldness, and degradation than they are about pleasure, intimacy, and love.

  • TaeTaehas quoted2 years ago
    Pornography is integrated into teenage pop culture; video game culture, for example, exalts the pornographic.
  • TaeTaehas quoted2 years ago
    For teenagers, pornography is just another online activity; there is little barrier to entry and almost no sense of taboo. Instead, pornography has become a natural rite and acceptable pastime. One teenage boy in Boston explained recently to the New York Times, “Who needs the hassle of dating when I’ve got online porn?”
