(3,214 posts)You get what you look for in porn. Does the type of porn you talk about degrade women? I contend it doesn't and it does not teach them to be degraded.
Porn stars get paid and maybe the look on their face is more boredom than anything else. They are thinking about dinner and what housework they have to do when they get off. (Pun intended)
I once had a guy ask me if he could cum on my face. I did not see the attraction to such an action but I figured why not. He came and I never did it again. Not because I felt degraded but getting his cum in my eye really hurt and it did nothing for me. If something dies not turn me on, why do it?
There are lots of different types of porn out there. I don't watch it but I know my boyfriend does. The type he watches always has the woman in charge and she ties the guy up, beats him, tells him to service her, he is in chastity, he has CBT performed on him, etc.... He watches this because this is what turns him on. Our social life runs along the lines of what he watches (only better) and so I just feel no need to watch it when I can take him in my bedroom and have my way with him. That is so much better than any movie.
Some would argue even those pornos are degrading but I just do not see how. Different people have different links and fetishes and who am I to judge if you want to cum on some girl's face as long as it is consensual.
Meanwhile, I have been to any number of events where women are degraded in real life. I see that as true degradation. Getting paid to do a job? Not so much, especially if the guy is tied up and has an erection as he gets flogged.
