(no subject)
I realized just now that the reason I hate porn so much is not merely because it objectifies its victims, but because I consider it a form of cheating ony your significant other. When I found out that a certain someone watched porn....oh, at least eight months ago now...I literally cried. And yes, it took me this long to figure out why- it hurt me, that, even though we were apart, he would resort to pornography rather than talking to me.
Why is that crap so necessary? It feeds to the cultural delusion that sex is a plaything, rather than something that should be approached with caution. Also depending on the type of porn in question, it feeds the delusion that women are subservient unless given leave to be dominant; that women prefer large dicks to small(wrong. speaking from experience, larger is NOT better- in fact it hurts like a motherfucker sometimes), and that women actually want to be raped: wrong again.
Then you have snuff, kiddy porn, and the various weird "philias." Who on eath would want to WATCH a total stranger get peed on? What weird sicko finds dripping hot wax on a bond and gagged woman's private areas appealing?
I just finally realized that I think of it as cheating, and that any person who still watches it, after saying "I love you" to their significant other, does not deserve the happiness having a lover brings. Unless, of course, the lover also likes to watch porn, and has no problem with him/her watching it as well.
I guess I'm weird or something...I simply cannot see the attraction in it. And some of it really disgusts me- the "barely legal virgins" for example. What's that- kiddy-porn Lite, for the pseudo-pedophile? Yes, I admit, I've looked around. And some of those girls looks like they're about twelve. WHAT is so attractive about watching an apparent early-adolescent girl being falsely coy about having sex (oh that pose, legs spread to show barely opaque underwear, finger between half-closed lips, revealing perfect white teeth, other hand spread over barely there breasts, and a look that could only be described as smokey)? I don't think I want to contemplate what that means about the men (and women) who find such things attractive.
And some of you don't give a damn what your significant other thinks about you looking at it. Men are bad about it, but women are far from innocent. Don't you realize how badly it hurts the person you supposedly love, if they dislike porn, and you insist on watching it?
Meh.
So that's my rant of the day.
In other news, my kitties have taken to washing each other. KA-YUUUTE!
