pornography

An article “Pornography in USA” touched me, in a sense that how much wrong have we been about pornography. Yes, I am talking about porn; squeezed by weightage of its own meaning.

As right of freedom of expression is fundamental, why not porn! Porn took its origin in motion picture when Le Coucher de la Marie showed Louis Willey performing “streaptease”. In the United States, Thomas Edison used his methods and equipments for making moving picture of a nude woman getting up from her bath tub and running away (how freaky Edison was 😛 ).

Porn is explicitly getting enormous space in these days. Survey shows how eager youths are getting into videos starring pornstars of their opposite sex (and sometimes same sex too). Magazines, comics, cartoons,movies and so on are the vector of disease “pornoholism”. Porn videos have received several criticisms too as they cast men as naturally coded for violence. The theme of porn has been male dominance and result is very harmful to women. However there are people who protest against anti-pornographic movement. Wendy McElroy in “a woman’s right to pornography” wrote, “The benefits pornography provides to women far outweigh any of its disadvantages”. Long sex-wars were fought for decades and result is in favour of pornophiles, porn lovers. Pornography has been legalized and is guided by same laws that track prostitution.

This is only the background of my topic. What I am actually upto is what wrong has pornography taught us.

Whenever we heard of sex or porn, we must have dreamt of two people of opposite gender lying on bed together and how sensibly the boy unwraps the clothes of girl, starting from the tops and then the bottoms and all those that covers her skin. Embracing for half an hour with momentary gust of lust and everlasting breeze of love, two lips overlap with nothing to obstruct in between. The exchange of love, the bite of tongue then lasts for next half an hour
.
But what porn taught us about sex is raping a girl, no kiss no hugs, directly brutal penetration, orgasm and it’s all over. Ran Gavreili in his speech “Why I stopped watching porn” has clearly manifested what porn actually is. Making love is not about a man jumping over women till he reaches apogee of his satisfaction, it is not just about action it’s more about feelings, and it’s about understandings.

Perhaps, porn has given us the best ways to have sex, “Kama sutra” ; but the sex in any position or any way cannot outweigh the feelings between two partners when they are in sexual embrace. Penis inside vagina, is not what sex really is. It is a part not a whole, real sex begins with seduction, continues with emotion, expose with intercourse and terminates with lots and lots of love.
