Porn...

So last week in class we discussed porn...yes porn You would think that this would be a touchy subject but we actually had some really good discussions on the subject.

Porn itself is a billion dollar a year business but sadly is being put out of business by how easily it is to get to it online. In the videos that we watched, the people of the porn industry were telling us that with the ease of technology people are getting their porn free. Basically being able to get on and type hot girls in a google search bar, and within a matter of seconds you get porn.

With the fast paced life style that we have now the porn industry has to evolve just like any other thriving business.

When we looked at the video made in the later years porn was looked at as something that would fall into the hands of children, make them gay because they see pornographic images in a drug store. The movie made me smile at how narrow minded people can be.

The ease of getting porn now also makes it easier for porn to be made. Anyone with a video camera and computer can make their own porn. So who would want it for free?

We publicly show our sexuality and give it out to the world. We aren't selling an image like Pamela Anderson. We are selling ourselves online.

  1. What is the significance of the sexuality part of this? After all, any industry could be dramatically changed by technology. Is there something unique about how pornography works with technology?
