Somehow this gets your point across better than being sensible, so you have anti-abusive porn advocates using hyperbolic language to attack people producing porn that they, “can’t imagine real women liking!”, while the people producing it are using hyperbolic language to slap their audience in the face. I find both seriously irritating, and not just because the result is often badly misleading about the content, to the point where actually finding what you may be looking for is less possible than if they dropped the stupid BS and stated things more clearly, from the perspective of the porn. As for the perspective of the people apposing it… how is attacking something for content you don’t like, and thing “has to be” degrading, purely by what some site chooses to use to call it (and not necessarily the content itself) any different than the people passing increasingly stupid anti-trafficking laws, because they imagine that everyone on the planet is somehow either a victim or a criminal, purely on the basis that they can’t imagine anyone “wanting” to do the work they appose, or the sex acts they think are ungodly? How is it that we comprehend the way that supporting some of the stupidity involved with such legislation is counter productive to the cause (except far, far, too many don’t see this at all), but its fine to never question if there might be something a bit… unreasonable about the level of rhetoric involved in apposing whole swaths of porn, for the exact same reasons.

Honestly, isn’t the more degrading thing that even supposed feminist porn often has scripts/acting, and an emphasis on implausible, and story derailing, sex scenes, that includes dialog and plot elements that could have come out of the “book version” of 50 shades? You know, the version that, if it had translated into film would have left half the audience walking out laughing their asses off at the “mental dialog” of the participants, and the other half even more confused over why this women actually liked the weirdo. lol I am still, personally, waiting for something from the “industry”, any part of it, frankly, which isn’t absurd.

The name Bellesa didn’t ring a bell, but the concept did. I remember hearing about some BS sounding ‘porn for women’ thing a while back, so I’m guessing it was probably them…I remember rolling my eyes at the time.

Thank you for mentioning also that some women enjoy porn that is generally thought of as ‘degrading’ to women. Personally, I dig the guys over at sites like Facial Abuse lol.

This is great, I will be including a couple quotes from this piece in one of my own soon. With full attribution, of course. Great work.
