I was at a conference last year and saw a documentary by Gail Dines called "Pornland" (she also has a book of the same name). Now I'm definitely not naive but what I saw in that film absolutely sickenend me. Boys (and its predominantly boys) as young as 10, but on a average 12, being able to access *advertiser censored*. And we aren't talking about "soft core" *advertiser censored* here. Apparently free sites allow anyone to go and view *advertiser censored* of the most disgusting nature. And because parents don't talk to their kids enough about sex and *advertiser censored* especially the attitudes of younger people are changing. There is a category of *advertiser censored* called Gonzo and it's awful. It's portrayed as "point of view" *advertiser censored*, but it's basically just awful violence against women with choking, putting the girl's head down the toilet so she's practically drowning, bukake, and deep throat. The *advertiser censored* that young kids can access is horrific. It's nothing more than the violation, degredation and abuse of young women for the man's benefit. And if young boys see this, and combine it with messages from music stars who talk about "hoes" and smacking women, and see sports stars beating up their girlfriends and getting away with it then that's what they believe is acceptable.
These *advertiser censored* companies are financed by "household name" companies. They are like drug dealers. They entice young boys in with "free" *advertiser censored* and then make them pay for the harder and harder stuff. Meanwhile doctors are now seeing more and more young girls with anal prolapse, vaginal prolapse and severe throat infections because boys are recreating what they see on *advertiser censored* and what they believe normal sex is.
It was the most unbelievable thing I have ever seen. It opened my eyes up massively to the damage *advertiser censored* does to our society. We need to teach our boys and girls from a young age that these things aren't acceptable. That a male orgasm is not the priority above a woman's dignity and respect. And that women are not all "*advertiser censored* stars" who have the airbrushed figures and who look like a human Barbie. I have teenage girls but after I saw the film I sat them down and we talked about the problems with *advertiser censored*, and they spoke about how boys in their class admitted openly to watching *advertiser censored* channels and then some had persuaded their girlfriends to try things they had seen. Luckily my girls are more bothered about school and grades than boys but I still think it's important to discuss.
