More women should be making porn...

I'm talking producing and directing. Just sayin' since it's mostly the men doing the making of porn.

Completely different. If you pick up books on sexuality and studies on sexuality, that's precisely what you find, that males and females are not only constructed differently, but that they function differently, have different sexual needs, are attracted even at different times of the day, have different frequencies of need, are aroused in a different manner, etc. etc. ad infinitum. That's why it's usually the males creating porn. Doesn't mean women don't want men, or that men don't want women, but everything else is quite different.

It's a frikkin' wonder we females ever get together with males instead of developing a perfect android that functions the way we women need a man to. :-)

and women would be wired to see sex and emotional intimacy as always intertwined indistinguishable.

That's not to say all men, all women, etc. etc. But overall, it seems to work out that way a lot.

and...well, never mind.

:hi:

I ain't hogging them...they were changing across the locker room from me for all those years.

But if I see any, I'll send them down to your PM!!

:hi:

... Because if it were true, then there wouldn't be anything wrong with having one opinion about 15yo boy/female teacher and different opinion about 15yo girl/male teacher.


EDIT: And all DUers know that your a sexist sadistic pedophile to so much as SUGGEST that it's ok to have different views about the two situations.

how much of that is nature and how much is culturally induced? Remember that any natural tendencies women might have are suppressed and warped from day one

There might be a strong cultural component. The way we're raised and the experiences we have are important. The first guy I was ever with had this "thing" for submissive women, and he wanted me to be that way, so I tried to imitate that for a while. Guess it must've worked, as he didn't complain too much. However, eventually that grew really tiring on me. As time passed and I read, experienced, and got to know life, I realized I was no more submissive than a hurricane was peaceful. When I said, "it's going to be my way or the highway from now on," that guy and I parted ways. He told me I'd been betraying him all that time. Not really! I just didn't know any better than to be who I really am.

I know if more women "found their own way" fewer women would be living in shelters or trapped in dead-end marriages.

articles?

Just sayin'.

We, as a culture, love to work backwards from our assumptions and find reasons. There's a lot of crap pseudoscience out there about gender roles and differences - more than there is good solid science.

Most of what is out there is pretty stupid and low-brow, too. It'd be nice to see some more intellectual content in our filth.

'globalization is really...ohhh yeaaaah..... breaking our economy apart.... now suck it!'
lol

much more interesting.

:spray:

HAWT!

maybe us women wouldn't have as much to bitch about if more women were making porn. Although, it would be nice to see some higher brain function in porn, too. :smoke:

In the LITERARY world. Check out Ellora's Cave's line of "Romantica" and the lines of erotic fiction currently taking the publishing world by storm.

It's simply a different form of porn. But porn nonethless.

if anyone's interested.

I am a romance author. I don't write romantic erotica, but there's some very talented women doing so.

I might also add that Candida Royalle's movies are appealing to women because a) they have a plot, and b) the women featured in her films are more -- shall we say, realistic?

Julie

There ARE a lot of talented authors in the field. My wife could probably rattle off a dozen or more without thinking about it.

Not MY thing, personally.

or was that corn? I'm so very confused......:evilgrin:

Never mind.

However, the porno industry is not run by what we might call legitimate businessmen. It's run by organized crime for the most part which is almost universally male. There are a few female directors out there though.

Any data AT ALL to support your organized crime claim?

The adult industry has always been run by the mob.


Just google "Porn industry and the mafia".

That's why I think Clinton caused 9/11 and Kerry shot himself to get medals!:eyes:

But don't expect me to do your homework for you. It is well documented that mob money has always backed the porno industry. I would imagine you also believe that garbage collection is run by legitimate folks as well.

It explained everything to me.

Check out (NotSafeForWork) --> www.blowfish.com (disclaimer - once upon a time, many years ago, I knew a few of the folks (both men and women) that started this outstanding on-line erotica outlet. I think that they are still there). They write mini-reviews and have commentary about most of their products.

I seem to recall quite a few of the videos that they had were by women. Indeed, that was usually something that they highlighted.

I'm basically agreeing with your subject and pointing out that it is not unheard of now.

Not that I ever buy anything there.

I just go there for the reviews. :evilgrin:

Brutal rape scenes,total humiliation,the works.I couldn't sit through it,and I watched the movie Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan,Supermasochist three times. :)

There was a story on one the Dateline type shows about it,and the reporter and camera crew had to leave the filming of it because it was too much and too real.

Her name was Lizzie Borden. I thought it was fucked up that she named herself after a murderer.

On edit: Or was it something I read on Salon? I don't remember, but I think thats who your talking about.

that goes for lesbian porn too. I think feminism (objectifying, blah blah blah) gets in the way of sexiness. seriously, i'm a chick (gay) and soooooo disappointed with my peeps.

They both produce or direct very good porn films.

is men, and for the most part only men desire to make such visually graphic movies.

The world needs way more Annies and way fewer Ron Jeremys...

Of course, that marks me as an unreconstructed, p-whipped feminist apologist, doesn't it? S'OK, I'm cool with that.

And for the record, I agree with you! :D

Typical of male domination that they expect us to just accept that they want.

But women want it to be about romance, and they have a say, too. This is inconvenient for men and makes it harder for them, and they keep trying to tell us we can't have it. It is so subconscious for them that they don't even realize they are doing it. They just call it "nature" or whatever, completely oblivious to the fact that women have minds of their own and that women might consider what they want to count.

(Keeping in mind this is a broad brush - used to make a point).

I know there are some - just seems far too few.

HAVING sex to "produce and direct" porn.

There's also those pesky side-effects of sex, like
children, to look after.

Maybe as a twilight career.....
