Porn Is For The Emotionally Stunted
“Only People Who Can’t Have A “Real” Relationship Watch Porn” This is one of the most hurtful myths that shames people into sexual isolation. Saying that anyone who masturbates to fantasy, or uses anything to enhance masturbation, is somehow flawed, emotionally crippled, mentally ill, or worse – hopeless and unable to connect intimately in a…
Porn Degrades Women
For most people, the idea of a woman being shamed, degraded or sexually harmed for someone’s viewing pleasure is not acceptable, nor is it in the least bit arousing. This is especially true for porn viewers. However, a frequent accusation is that watching porn, participating in porn, and creating porn are all facets of directly…
Porn Is Desensitizing

Porn for Women: Recommendations

Are our fantasies just as much about fucking, as they are supposed to be about shopping? Are we tired of lame, insulting, stereotypical porn? The answer is yes…
Porn for Couples
As someone who has been reviewing porn for a long time, it’s amusing to have watched the SoCal (mainstream, American) porn industry slowly change its tune about porn made “for couples”.
