At this Point in our Story ( September 2012 Gregorian ) to say that Most Pornography ( Media intended to Sxually arouse ) on the Web is shot by Men for a Male Audience is Accurate. That Most Pornography Available to Day is Misogynistic xplains why Many People believe that Pornography its Self is Misogynistic. This, however, is an over Simplification. So considered, it is not as Much the Content of Pornography to Day that is Offensive ( though a Good Deal of it is - Male Fantasy projected onto Others' Bodies ), but the Lack of an Alternative Content; which is to say, to Day’s Pornography is Offensive not Only because it objectifies Ladies / Gays / trans People,  but, Some Objectification being Necessary to Sx, because it implies that Only Ladies / Gays / trans People are to be objectified. This is a Power im’Balance and it makes Much of the Sx we see in to Day's Porn Objectionable, to say no Thing of the Sx in this Pornography being an Ode to the Dollar, as opposed to Love, or the Commercial Porn Industry's Promotion of Idealized and Often un Realistic ( Faked ) Body Types. 

An over Emphasis on the Man ( Straight / Gay ) as Producer and Consumer of Pornography creates Numerous Problems. To imply, through Sheer Number of Works produced from this Perspective, that the Male is allways the Subject of Pornography ( the Camera’s Eye ), Others the Object ( what the Camera is looking at ) is to invalidate the Subjective Xperience of those People who are being objectified ( fetishized ) in Pornographic Media. As a Result of our Current Pornography's Gender imBalance between Subject and Object, we have Only a Limited Understanding, as a Culture, of how People besides Men ( Straight / Gay, but with an inClination towards the More Masculine of these Sxualities) xperience Sx. We know, for Xample, which Traits Men like to see in Ladies from the Pornography they have created ( Youth, Big Tits, Big Asses, Certain Postures, Styles of Dress, Attitudes, etc ), we know Little about how / why Any Body else ( Any One Feminine ) chooses a Sxual Partner, has Sx, or Role plays. Not Only do we lack an Understanding of how those besides the Male Voyeur perceive Sx, it is implied, via the Lack of Such Material, that these Perspectives are ir’Relevant or non Xistent, creating a Spiral of Alienation. Because Men, raised on a Certain Pornographic Standard, have come to see Ladies as Semi Inert Objects for Sxually Consumption, that Identity is projected onto us, denying our Subjectivity. As a Girl a’Live to Day, I have been inundated with Imagery of Sxually Objectified Ladies to the Point where I have come to see my Self as a Sxual Object. Treated like One by Men in Relationships, however, I have become a Vocal Feminist. I have begun offering my Body for Viewership in this Fashion : I am a Sx Object, I am also a Unique Thinking Being. Self Sxual Objectification has, in my Xperience, become Painful in Sxual Role Playing when it become Clear that the Male Partner, the One for whom I the Lady perform, indoctrinated to believe He is the Perennial Subject, She the Perennial Object ( as opposed to my Self being a Subject acting like an Object for the Sake of Sxual Role Playing ) is unWilling to also play the Game of Sxual Self Objectification. My Perspective is inValidated / the Man does not open up. In Order for there to be Equality in this Partnership, without Both Partners retreating into Prudish Subjectivity ( as has been the Case in Many Marriages, with the Sxually Needier turning to Affairs or Porn for Sxual Release ) Both Partners must Sxually Self objectify :


It must be acknowledged that the Feminine and the Masculine are Equally Subject and Object during Sx

I Rarely see Pornography which objectifies Men for Consumption by Ladies. Playgirl is an Obvious Xample. But the Creators of Playgirl have made the Mistake of adopting the Male Model of Pornography and reversing the Gender Roles, placing Idealized Male Models in Poses for Ladies to look at. This Technique fails to account for the Difference in what arouses Ladies vs. Men. While Men are Clearly aroused by Graphic Displays of the Feminine Form, the Context ( Environment ) of this Display providing an Amusing Back Drop but Little More ( hence All those Spare Apartments and Lame Plots in MainStream Pornogrpahy ), Feminine Sxual Arousal, as opposed to being so Bodily Focused Necessarily ( Men are, Admittedly, Hairy and Coarse ), is All about Contxt. I think the Contxt in which a Lady Finds her Self and the Man is Vital to her State of Arousal. What does the Decoration look like in the Room the Man is posing in? What can be learned about the Man from his Environment? What are the Subtle Emotional Clues in his Body Language? His Manner of Speaking? His Dress? For me, what a Man’s Body looks like, on a Physical Level, gets lost in the Larger Scheme of Things. Physical Appearance is Tertiary to a ) his Attitude, and b ) his Life Style. 

So, if Men's Body Parts aren't so Much what Ladies are in'Terested in ( but their Life Styles and their Attitudes ), how can a Pornographer bring these Elements out in Pornographic Media?  My Feeling is that if I am making Pornography for Ladies to enjoy, it is All about Set and Story. There’s a Reason Harlequin Novels sell so Well. Set ( Bohemia, for Xample ) and Story ( Passion ). Stick a Cute Man in an Gallery after Hours. Imagine in Some Sxual Tension that turns into a Blow Job and then take Pictures of the Guy’s Dick from the Girl’s Perspective. Or him between her Legs, or whatever you want. It's Simply a Matter of breaking with the Tendency to objectify Only the Feminine Partner in the Sxual XChange.

The Role of Love in Feminist Pornography

An Other Reason I think Ladies have a Difficult Time watching or looking at Commercial Pornography is the Lack of Love xpressed between the People in the Sxual Encounter. The People in Most Commercial Porn Shoots are having Sx with Each Other for Money, not Love, and the Essence of this inTeraction colors the Shoot. It is Hard, when Love is what turns you on ( and for Most of us, it is ) to get turned on by a Commerical XChange ( try and succeed as our Culture might have in this Regard in Many Cases. Please recall : Money is not Real. Love is ).


 I believe that More Ladies would watch Porn if the inTeractions they saw in Pornographic Media were based on Love, the Sx in the Porn being conducted between People in Love Relationships with One an Other


I believe More Ladies would watch Pornographic Films or look at Pornographic Images if these Featured Couples, Three Ways or Sets of Couples who are Very Much in Love. I believe this Love would transcend the Images and be imparted on the Viewer. I believe this Type of Pornography will be Far More Satisfying to those producing it and to those consuming it than MainStream Patriarchal Pornography, which is Constantly pushing Boundaries in Terms of how Many Golf Balls can be shoved up a Lady’s Ass, but has yet to teach us Any Thing about how to conduct Relationships with People ( besides Xploitation for Cash / Orgasm by the Viewer, the People performing the Act, and the People who commissioned the Act ). Porn is a Seedy Business. Let's make it Utopian. Let's cultivate Some inTimacy.




 Bodies for an im'Proved Erotika

 An Other Reason Much of the Pornography produced to Day is Offensive is because the Bodies seen in this Pornographic Media ( Ladies Bodies and Men's Cocks preDominantly ) are Idealized, Some faked via Plastic Surgery. I do not inTend to shame those who have Close to “ Ideal ” Bodies or who accentuate their Bodies through Surgery, but I can say that in coming to Pornographic Media and seeing preDominantly Idealized / Faked Body Types represented, those who do not have Bodies that this Media considers “ Ideal ” feel a'Shamed of their Selves for not having been represented. By displaying Only a Limited Number of ( Idealized / Faked ) Body Types, to Day's Pornography implies that Only these Bodies have Sx / should be having Sx. Which is Bull Shit.


An im'Proved Erotika would focus on Diversity ( of Body Types ) for its Own Sake


There are no Perfect Bodies : there are Only Fascinating Bodies

Two Simple Solutions to the Question “ How do I make Better Porn? ”

1.  Diversify the Perspectives Pornography is shot from as Well as the Sxual Identities / Body Types being depicted in the Media

2. Prioritize Love Based Relationships between Participants in Pornographic Media
