Hello, my name is Alexandra.

First of all, I need to apologize to you. When I watched the Sasha Grey on Tyra video I rolled my eyes. I thought, "Uh-oh, an anti-porn person!" After all, what's wrong with sex? And as long as children are not involved, who cares? Let people do what they want, right? Wrong. First of all, porn is NOT sex, contrary to popular belief. Healthy sex is about love, porn is about power and money. Thank you for helping me realize this.

I am not a porn star but I have come close. I have been asked to appear in movies and magazines. I thought, "Wow! That means I am pretty! That means people DESIRE me!" I was so ignorant. You see, now I realize why I wanted to get into the industry. I wanted to be loved and desired and told I was beautiful. But there was a really strange gut feeling that told me, "DON'T DO IT ALEXANDRA!" I am glad I listened.

You see, I was sexually abused (stereotypical, I know) and I was overweight as a child and young teenager. I felt ugly and thought no one wanted me. When I lost the weight I wanted to get all the attention and acceptance that I never received.

When porn stars talk about "embracing their sexuality and showing their confidence" I think it is a load of crap. Why would any empowered, confident person want to be in a business where men ejaculate all over their face? If Sasha Grey is so confident and so empowered, why would she choose this profession? No, I am not religious. I support anyone in whatever they do. I just am saying that there are other ways to show your confidence. Just because you choose to do something does not make it okay and I just think it is sad that one of the only ways a woman can make more money than men is to do this kind of work. : (

One time I was giving a guy oral sex and he told me that I needed to "suck it like porn stars do." I was crushed. I guess I don't measure up to them. My breasts aren't big enough, I have pubic hair, and I am apparently bad at sex.

And it is hard for me to talk about this because I get shut down. People are like, "Stop being a prude and crazy feminist. Lighten up!" I struggle with this and I need help. I have even contemplated suicide because of past abuse and because of how porn has made me feel about myself.

Anyway thank you for listening and being brave to stand up to the industry. You have inspired me. I have gone along with thinking porn is okay because a lot of people are okay with it and I didn't want to be an outcast or ridiculed. But thanks to you for helping me stand up for what I believe in!

I also like your story about erotica vs. pornography. I don't have a problem with seeing two people having sex on camera, as long as it not degrading and both partners are enjoying it. I would actually rather watch this than a bunch of violent acts. There definitely is a difference between the two. I can't stand how pornography has warped people's ideas about sex!

Thank you for helping me and thank you for listening.

Love between people can be so beautiful but porn turns it into a filthy activity. And then I don't mention the fact that people get a wrong impression on what's truly love making, that women are seen as whores and sluts, not to mention the increase of sex-violations and worse - the use of women and children for sex slavery.

I cannot believe how mainstream porn is. The other day I saw a girl about 18 wearing a shirt that said "Porn Star" on it. I almost want to say something to her about it but I didn't. Anyway, I am proud to say that I'm the big sister of four little girls who will never step foot in the porn industry. The future is porn free!!!

addisontoaddy on May 11, 2010 at 8:48 PM said:

As a psychiatric-mental health Nurse Practitioner I know men get violent fantasies from watching porn, whether the porn has violence in it or not. I'm surely not a prude, I don't think sexuality should be in any way disregarded as it is human nature - I have zero problem with nude sex scenes in movies or erotica. I like sultry romance movies haha (and am anti NC-17 rating, it's BS). I also don't support banning pornography, but there needs to be regulation, especially regarding children and violence.

It still stuns me to this day how people find prostitution/porn to be normal and even liberating when it's literally glorified rape and slavery. If we glorify the degradation of women when it comes to something that's supposed to be the epitome of pleasure, one can only imagine what that means for everything else that involves women in everyday life. That's why porn/prostitution should be THE key issue when overcoming misogyny and sexism.

We are looking forward to the day that more people turn away from pornography and isolation and turn toward healthy human interaction and meaningful relationships!

William on April 28, 2010 at 1:24 AM said:

Adolf Hitler was an addict of pornography, this fact is rarely made public, but true. The mindset, the belief system, the low self esteem that attracts people to pornography is the fabric making this addiction so powerful, because sex drive is a powerful motivator, the problem is that pornography sets people on the wrong track without them knowing it, before it is too late, at that point the addiction is many times too strong for an individual to break free from. Hitler's mindset, as history proves, the utter destruction of most of Europe and countless millions of innocent people, Hitler's diregard for human dignity, human life, was manifested in his attraction, (addiction) to pornography. The subtle, but blatantly wrong mindset of many men, is that somehow pornoraphy as an expression of their sexuality, they are entitled to porn., because that is how sex is portrayed by the media, as though that is the way they should live their lives with females. Subtely, because of low self esteem, many men fall victim of this trap, but then it is too late to break free from porn. Hitler dehumanized millions of people (murdered) them because he saw people in a dehumanized form, much the same as portrayed in pornography.

jay on April 27, 2010 at 5:08 PM said:

Pornography distracts people from having fuller, more meaningful lives, pornography clouds a person's ability to think properly and clearly, pornography puts limits on people, driving them to lower depths of despair ultimately by limiting their freedom of thought; because pornography is an addiction to those who view it, and like any other addiction it is self-destructive.

Emie on April 24, 2010 at 8:06 PM said:

I can't even adequately express how much porn and trafficking upsets me. As it should every woman!
For personal reasons, as well as more general ones.

As a young woman who has dated multiple young men who have FILES of pornographic pictures saved to their computers, and are registered for multiple, DISGUSTING porn sites, I'm sick and tired of it.

I've never thought that it was ok for women to become sex icons. It's one thing to be proud of sexuality, it's another to become a sexual object!

Dating men who need to look at porn etc as long as I'm not there, makes ME feel inadequate, and absolutely disgusts me. I feel like it's not natural, and it upsets me more and more, the more I find out a particular gentleman is indulging in it!

It's also simply dangerous, as many other people here have commented. It creates an obsession that can grown into something dangerous. And I think it may cause men to pressure women more into doing and participating in sexual acts that are both unsafe, and uncomfortable for the woman involved.

It's SO wrong.

I suggest to everyone the book "Half the Sky" by Wudunn. Excellent book. It's about sex trafficking, another huge issue. Raise awareness!

SweetLeaf (from Blogger) on April 18, 2010 at 3:37 PM said:

I feel sick and conflicted. I have bought into the porn industry unashamedly for years. [Playboy Bunny girly T-shirt, Hustler attire.] After watching that Diane Sawyer interview with porn star Belladonna I just feel like crying. She's bringing a baby into this world. How will her choices affect that tiny life?

I have some choices of my own to make. Thank you for opening my eyes.

Taylor on April 17, 2010 at 11:18 PM said:

I find it sad that as a male, when I express my opposition to porn, I am usually met with blank stares or amusement. It has infiltrated our culture so thoroughly that many people can't conceive that a male would be opposed to porn. Apparently it is taken as a given that 'all men like porn'. How sad.

Kim on April 9, 2010 at 8:11 PM said:

I am so glad something like this has been done and exists. I thought I was the only person who is so anti-pornography. I agree with all the statements you have written - there is no positive points about porn whatsoever. If only everyone thought and agreed. It's degrading, disgusting, and there is nothing to be proud of being part of it. It's taking the whole concept of sharing something special with a partner behind closed doors to something just immoral and seedy.

jazzianime on April 3, 2010 at 4:12 PM said:

I so agree with you. Porn is disgusting and so much of it seems to be centered around children or teenagers in high school. I mean the whole schoolgirl thing is so nasty and this lolicon stuff is so popular it makes me physically ill. Porn is going too far when it sexualizes children!

rockgoddess94 on April 2, 2010 at 7:31 PM said:

Porn is so disgusting. I have no idea why anyone would want to do it. It degrades women and it can make you sick with all the STDs. I can't even bear to watch it! I can't believe some people actually drink things like sperm, urine, and enemas. That's just plain nasty.

Anonymous on March 29, 2010 at 9:50 PM said:

This industry is also very abusive to men and turns them into objects and indoctrinates them into being predators themselves. Yes, women are treated like animals and its far more obvious to see the abuse. It is my opinion that the solution to this problem is deprogramming the men via de-indoctrination.

Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality

- by Gail Dines

Click picture above to order "PORNLAND" at Amazon.com now!

DESCRIPTION

Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality takes an unflinching look at today’s porn industry: the stories woven into the images, the impact on our culture, the effects on us as men and women, the business machine that creates and markets porn, and the growing legitimacy of porn in mainstream media. Above all, PORNLAND examines the way porn shapes and limits sexual imaginations and behaviors.

Although we are surrounded by pornographic images, many people are not aware of just how cruel and violent the industry is today. PORNLAND shows how today’s porn is strikingly different from yesterday’s Playboy and Penthouse magazines — how competition in the industry and consumer desensitization have pushed porn toward hard core extremes. And, with the advent of the internet and other digital technologies, users don’t have to wander far to access porn; todaythe average age of first viewing is about 11 for boys, and studies reveal that young men, who consume more porn than ever before, have difficulty forming healthy relationships.

PORNLAND also looks at how our porn culture affects the way women and girls think about their bodies, their sexuality and their relationships. PORNLAND: How Porn has Hijacked our Sexuality argues that rather than sexually liberating or empowering us, porn offers us a plasticized, formulaic, generic version of sex that is boring, lacking in creativity and disconnected from emotion and intimacy.

Shared Hope International specifically focuses on fighting the demand for commercial sexual exploitaiton, including addressing pornography as a very significant demand factor for sex trafficking.

Please see their excellent report on this issue:

Pornography: Creating Demand for International Sex Trafficking

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Pornography is a marketing device for sex trafficking: It normalizes degradation and violence as acceptable and even inevitable parts of sex, and uses the bodies of real women and children as objects. The difference between pornography and erotica is clear in the roots of the words themselves -- porne means females slaves, eros means love -- so pornography, like rape, is about violence and domination, not sex. Millions of lives depend on our ability to separate pornography from erotica, and to disentangle violence from sexuality."

Gloria Steinem, 2006

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. PLEASE DONATE IF YOU ARE ABLE TO.

Please remember that it is not up to AntiPornography.org, the other organizations listed on this page, the government, or "someone else" to do the entire job of fighting against the devastating harms of pornography, prostitution, trafficking, and other forms of sexual exploitation or abuse. It is an enormous job and the responsibility lies with each and every one of us to do our part as part of the bigger team of those who are choosing to be part of the solution of creating a more just and humane world for everyone, rather than be part of the problem.

So thank you in advance for whatever you are able to contribute to the cause, whether in the form of a tax-deductible donation or your actions. What you do does matter, so for the sake of all those across the world who are being exploited and abused, and for the sake of the future of humanity, please do what you can to create a more compassionate and safer society for all.

Thank you for whatever you are able to give or do to help create a better world for everyone, especially for women, children and future generations.

YOUR SUPPORTIVE ACTIONS & YOUR DONATIONS ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

THEY CAN AND WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
