Nope. What is degrading are the people who say it’s degrading to women. Because those are the only people drawing attention toward it as a negative thing.
It’s like the old Dr. Seuss quote:
“Those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter”
That said, would I personally want to date a porn star? Hell no! But if I were single, having one as friends with benefits would be cool.
It depends on the porn. In and of itself- no it doesn’t degrade woman. But some with degrading content obviously does.
A woman has a right to choose to do anything she wants, and if that is porn, no matter how degrading, it’s her choice to do so.
I think you have not seen the same porn I have. But degradation is not limited to woman and at the risk of ofending others not all of it is degrading at all or even pornographic. Porno is a rather inclusive term these days. From torture, snuff, child abuse, to sensual nude pictures. It all gets called porn
@trunthepaige – You’ve got a point. To clarify I’m talking about consensual porn that is between adults.
I believe that if it truly was degrading to women, porn would no longer exist. If women continue to become porn stars, then the degradation should be eliminated from the context!
It depends how ones mind perceive it. People’s thinking is more on judging and making conclusion.
it depend on how we define “degrading” i guess…
“consensual porn that is between adults” is absolutely not degrading to women, or anyone else. Even the more extreme versions of that (rape, spanking, domination, etc) fall into the category of fantasy, and most people do not condemn any fantasy acted out between consenting adults. Porn can act as a way of acting those fantasies in a way that does not hurt or degrade anyone in real life.
the taboo sex is what is appealing about porn. I don’t think most of it is degrading. although I’ve seen this porn star eat a slice of watermelon with cum on it, which I thought was degrading in a gross humor way. I wouldn’t date a male pornstar because how hard is it to pump his cock in a hole lol however, I’d date a chippendale stripper because he can dance and seduce me in a more skillful way and dancing where he pops and locks his shoulders like a hiphop bboy turns me on
and I like being teased
