comparing themselves to these images (Brown 2015, p, 89). This is most apparent as a result of the adult industry saturating society with the influx of readily available pornographic material made extremely convenient because of the internet. Nevertheless, the question remains as to whether people prefer the pleasantness of doctored images or would rather revert to the antiquated concept of beauty. Further, it is important to address any gender differences in this opinion of ideal beauty, as well as, if there are any contrast effects associated with being exposed to enhanced images. There has been several studies done on the effects of exposure to erotic material, and whether there are gender differences in the resulting effects. Erotica is an appropriate model to use when exploring the effects of photo enhancement because erotic material is highly subjected to a multitude of aesthetic augmentations including the use of Photoshop, cosmetics, surgically altered subjects, lighting, and photographic tactics. Kenrick, Stringfield, Wagenhals, Dahl, and Ransdell conducted a study to investigate whether gender differences exist when it comes to selecting, viewing, and responding to different kinds of erotic material (1980, p 517). They discovered that women were more apt to reject pornographic material in comparison to men; nevertheless, there was a commonality among the genders in that all participants preferred soft core pornography to hard core pornography (Kenrick et al…

erotic story. For example, erotica from Virgin, which is descripted for female customers, sold two million copies around the world (Sonnet, 1999). And billions of women choose to use gay male porn, which is the second most popular choice for them (PornHub, 2014 cited in Neville, 2015). According to Vadas (2005), this kind of gay male porn, which is named ‘non-female pornography’ in her argument, is ‘ungrounded fictions’. The man, who may have some kinds of female characteristics, such as looking…

According to Dr. Lynch, Porn Chic is the hyper-sexual culture that is present in modern day society. She began her presentation by discussing Hugh Hefner, the creator or Playboy, and how he was one of the main figures that began hyper-sexualizing women in society. Four points were brought up relating to Porn Chic: popular culture normalization of sexual objectification and women’s bodies, pop culture normalization of priority/dominance of white mail gaze, oscillation of girls toward…

While it is evident that there are some legitimate arguments made as to why pornography should be neither illegal or restricted, they all miss the point of focusing on the true repercussions that porn has in society. First, people are ignorant to the role that pornography has in the sex-trafficking trade. "It is commonly known in the anti-trafficking field that 80 percent of survivors report that their customers showed them pornography to illustrate the kinds of sexual acts they want performed."…

One in five women will be raped in their lifetime. This statistic can be unnerving to some, but to others it is just a number. Although rape is such a large problem in our society, it seems to have become a normality and consequence of life. Girls are being taught to cover up their bodies to protect themselves, while boys are being taught that sexual violence is a byproduct of natural instincts. The use of terms like “boys will be boys” shows that there is a lack of discipline for boys’…

Pornography SOC 120: Introduction to Ethics and Social Responsibility Pornography Many centuries have passed throughout history; pornography has been a subject that has caused many to rethink their perspectives and ethical views on the matter. As Mosser (2013) states, “Some, in contrast, regard the consumption of pornography as a "victimless crime," and believe that, because it does not harm others, it should not be restricted extensively” (Ch2, sec. 2.4, para. 1). Let us exploit…

Pornography has long been regarded as a taboo within society. As a result, there are various perspectives on whether pornography is harmful, particularly to women. This essay will assess the argument of Cooke, who states pornography is not harmful as it is simply a work of fiction (2013). By redefining fiction, as well as utilizing ideas from Liao and Protassi about response and non-response realistic fiction, this argument will be criticized. This essay will conclusively argue that the…

I believe that David Pellegrini’s directorial concept for Pornography was to showcase how closely our everyday lives are intermingle with our nation and how, in these case, a moment of tragedy can bring us together and open our eyes about our environment. Due to the given circumstances of the play there isn’t much room to play around and image the plot in a different time period, but, Pellegrini used all of the open-ended aspects of the play to his advantage and gave them his unique touch to…

It can be conveyed through a variety of media including photographs, movies, paintings, books, live performances and the internet. It also can cover a range of subject…
