Pornography

"If you want to know who is being hurt in this society, go see what is being done and to whom in pornography and then go look for them other places in the world." - Catharine MacKinnon


As a counterpoint to our opening quote, consider the following quote by pornstar Katie Pierce:

"Some people may be famous for creating a pencil sharpener. I'm famous for my tits."

What is the real problem with porn? Thousands of websites hosting films, photos, tricks and tips related to pornography are bombarding us day by day. Is the pornography  made by males for males? Did the emancipation help to boost the porn industry? Why are there almost no female-friendly porn movies? Is porn indirectly or directly related to sexual abuses, or is it just a reflection of extent of our sexual activities?


These (and many more) are the questions that are entering our minds.
If you want to know more about pornography then check out this link here  on the coming friday (march 31) from 19:00.
