The Victims of Pornography

psmealey — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:14:59 -0800

"Porn films are not about sex. Sex is airbrushed and digitally washed out of the films There is no acting because none of the women are permitted to have what amounts to a personality.The one emotion they are allowed to display is an unquenchable desire to satisfy men, especially if that desire involves the women’s physical and emotional degradation." In his most recent book, Chris Hedges navigates our culture of narcissim, from porn (in the linked segment), to the WWE, to Ivy League graduation ceremonies and reality tv — exposing, according to his publisher "an age of terrifying decline and heightened self-delusion". Hedges is a former foreign correspondent for the New York times, has previously gone to war with Christian Fundamentalists, The New Atheists, War itself and his own employer, resigning from his job rather than submit to the Times's reprimand over his outspoken opposition to the Iraq War and the press "cheerleading" that preceded it.

Graphic Sexual Horror, a documentary

Stochastic Jack — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:01:26 -0800

A new documentary chronicles the rise and fall of Insex.com, one of the early websites. (NSFW) Co-directors Anna Lorentzon and Barbara Bell look at Insex, the people behind it, and the forces that ultimately brought it down. The stuff that Insex did tends to make even hardcore kinksters flinch a bit. However, as one reviewer points out, they at least put the activities into context, showing the performers both in the scenes (which include drowning and suffocation--some of this stuff may really hit some triggers for some people), as opposed to the notorious anti-porn documentary, The Price of Pleasure, which showed sex and kink without exploration of the performers' lives offscreen. One of the most interesting aspects of the film is that they ultimately were shut down not by obscenity laws, but by federal authorities who used the PATRIOT Act to claim that hardcore porn funded terrorism.

Ask Me Anything

WCityMike — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 06:19:28 -0800

I was shot in the head two years ago. I was in prison for six years. I live in a Taliban hub. I need to be an amputee. I'm four. I'm six. I'm eight. I have a micropenis. I've had sex both with and without a foreskin. My sister and I are in love. I'm in love with my mother. I married and had a daughter with my first cousin. I love my dog. I have killed someone while driving drunk. I have superpowers from chemotherapy. I was in a cult for seven years. I own a woman. I used to be asexual (I am still asexual). I was in porn (and I'm still in porn). I took a boy's virginity. I am killing myself in a few months. I started the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I started Reddit.

I have a "state of deficiency in understanding, processing, or describing emotions". I have Alice in Wonderland syndrome. I believe free will doesn't exist.

I was driven gay. I am gay in a straight marriage. I was born a woman, became a man, and as a man, I'm gay.

I'm a pawnbroker, mortician, spammer, multimillionaire, working TV/film comedy writer, Freemason, actor's assistant, beekeeper, drug dealer, Catholic priest, kleptomaniac, nudist, prosecutor, suicide hotline volunteer.

I'm a pathological liar. I might be making all this up.

Ask me anything.

A Hard Man is Good to Find

Filament aims to be a different kind of women's magazine. They plan to "cover a wide range of topics [but absolutely no beauty or diet articles] that inspire and engage , and [give women] gorgeous boys the way [they] like to see them." Their first issue is out and featured a mix of articles, fiction, poetry and pics of shirtless boys. For their second issue, they want to include a pic of a man with erection, but their printer bailed because the printer was afraid of a backlash. The magazine has also had issues with distributors because many of them don't want to deal with a women's magazine with a man on the cover.

Publicizing HIV cases in the porn industry

hpliferaft — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:54:53 -0800

After one performer tested positive this week, 16 previously unpublicized cases of HIV in the porn industry have emerged. Last time this happened, government officials called it an outbreak and porn production grinded to a halt for two months.

Given all the attention the new Star Trek movie is generating, it's not surprising that the porn industry is attempting to cash in (SFW). What is surprising is that the production team clearly knows their Star Trek (SFW). Hustler's "This Ain't Star Trek XXX" appears to be a send-up of the classic Trek episode "Space Seed," (heh... space seed). In addition to the reasonable-for-porn casting of Kirk, Spock, and Bones (heh... bones), Hustler takes the effort to be faithful to even the minor characters and costumes (SFW).

Fight Over Job Training for Porn Company Heats Up In San Francisco

Stephen Elliott — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 17:13:11 -0800

Matt Smith wrote an SF Weekly cover story this week revealing that the state had given almost $50,000 to Kink.com, the world's largest fetish porn company, for job training. The article resulted in the funding being revoked. Violet Blue responded in detail, interviewing many of the performers. The Bay Guardian tried to interview Smith but he declined to be interviewed. Smith responded to Violet on his blog, citing freedom of speech. Violet says she's not done with yet (NSFW). Now all the San Francisco outlets are writing about it including SFist, Bay Guardian, and The Sword.

Ladyless porn for Ladies

LMGM — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 14:01:04 -0800

Some gals like gay (male) porn [mildly NSFW]. But there's not much agreement on how or why. When film scholar Linda Williams published a 10th-anniversary edition of her book, Hard Core: Power, Pleasure and the "Frenzy of the Visible,", she regretted not daring to include porn stills, refusing to write about gay porn because she was straight, and not talking about her own bodily reactions to a genre of film that is so dedicated to quickening the body. She made good in the epilogue that was added to this 2nd edition, including images, discussion of a wide array of queer porn, and a surprising admission: the films that "moved" her the most were the gay porn flicks. Since then, the internet has informed women like Williams that they're not alone. The phenomenon of women—lesbian, bi, straight and queer—watching gay male porn has been the subject of advice columns, dense psychoanalytic film theory, and freewheeling dialogues on neo-hedonist mythology as it pertains to gay buttseks and the ladeez [VERY NSFW]. Whatever theoretical explanation you have for it, HotMoviesForHer.com [Pretty NSFW-ish] is there to meet all your gay-porn-for-women needs, including a dedicated gay porn review column [NSFW, fer sure], whose (female) contributors evince a frank pleasure in gay skin flicks of all sorts.

Larry Flynt needs financial aid

Prunedish — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 02:35:45 -0800

Congress must back sex! According to Larry, "Americans can do without cars and such", but it can't do without sex...and for an extra $5 billion US, he will help Americans do who ever, I mean what ever it takes to get people using porn. However, maybe, just maybe that the decline in sales is due to the free porn access on the net. Another article about it here

Deep Throat director six feet under

flapjax at midnite — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 06:29:48 -0800

Back in 1972, there was a fellow who had a novel idea for a porno flick. But when his producer objected to the movie's title, fearing no one would understand it, Gerard Damiano reassured him: "Don't worry, "Deep Throat will become a household word." And indeed it did. Now, 36 years after the infamous and influential film's release, director Gerard Damiano, aka Jerry Gerard, has gone on to that deep, deep throat in the sky. Deep Throat opening credits and first few minutes. Dig the groovy soundtrack, it's like a garage band Booker T and the MGs. Who are they? Unknown artists. Damn. Previous FPP featuring link to a very interesting article about Deep Throat actor Harry Reems.

Revenge porn involves posting your ex's nude pics or video to the Web. It can be difficult to prosecute because it's not a specific crime and pornography "performers" hold no copyrights, but it's easier to press charges when the victim is a minor. A victim speaks out: "There's a reason I don't like having my picture taken." Sometimes it's not even real porn. (all links SFW)

U.S. 9th District Court of Appeals Chief Justice Alex Kozinski [wiki] is currently adjudicating a remarkably hardcore obscenity case. He is currently facing his own obscenity case as well, having allowed public access to NSFW or illegal-for-minor-viewing material posted on his own vanity website, as reported in the LA Times. Although he maintains that the material's posting was just innocent fun, he clearly knows his way around the internets. Kozinski is a prolific and well-regarded essayist, and is occasionally mentioned as a potential Supreme Court nominee.
