Show Notes + Transcript Emily: 00:00:00 This week we're going to talk about pornography in America and usually our episodes are pretty family friendly. This one is not. So if you have young people around, might be a good idea to put on a different episode. Thanks. Emily: 00:00:15 I'm Emily Kumler and this is Empowered Health. Pornography in the United States is a massive business. Close to $1 trillion in revenue1 is reported every year. To ​ give some context to this, if you think about the top websites that are visited2, number one, ​ Google, number two, Youtube, number three, Facebook, four is Amazon, five is Yahoo and six? Pornhub. When you take porn sites and you put them together and accumulative kind of way, they are viewed or consumed more than Netflix, Amazon, and Twitter combined.3 So we know ​ this is something that people are consuming a lot of on a regular basis, but it's not something that people talk a lot about. And so we thought, you know what? Let's get into this. Let's look a little bit about how women consume porn, how it impacts their lives. And in the course of working on this episode, we've also really been struck by how this has affected our culture and how this disconnect between our ability to be able to talk about what people are consuming in their private intimate moments is directly related to some of the big cultural problems that we are trying to overcome. So we were curious, like could this be positive? Could there be some sort of thing with sexual freedom and a new kind of intimacy and we know sort of women being more sexual, could this possibly be a positive thing? And I sorta think we have to forget some of the like mores of the past and just sort of accept like this is really here. So like this is being consumed by most people on a regular basis. So what is it? What are they consuming, what are the parts of it that are potentially good and what are the parts that are potentially bad? And I think one of the things that we cannot separate is the idea that we are living through a moment of reflection on sexual assault. And that through the #MeToo movement through more women getting into power, we're all sort of looking at this culture whereby women have experienced a lot of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and that we as a culture don't really know how to deal with it or fix it. And the more we researched this topic, the more it seemed like there was a direct connection, at least for me, between the images that people see online. So the most popular pornography is often images of women being choked or strangled or gang-banged. And if you take those moving images and you look at them as stills, there is no way that you can separate the violence from the sex. And if we're telling kids as young as 11 years old, which is the ​ average age that boys are coming across pornography4 now, that this is what sex is about and then we're wondering why we have a problem with our rape culture, we're just being ignorant to these underlying messages which are flooding kids. One really important piece of information that I think we need to share before we get into any of the research is that most of the ​ pornography online today is of girls or women who look very young.5 So some of the most 1 https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/things-are-looking-americas-porn-industry-n289431 ​ 2 https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/united-states ​ 3 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/internet-porn-stats_n_3187682 ​ 4 https://digitalkidsinitiative.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Parent_Primer_Internet_Pornography-Revise d-September-2014.pdf 5 https://fightthenewdrug.org/this-years-most-popular-genre-of-porn-is-pretty-messed-up/ ​ popular sites are things like, don't worry, she's my stepdaughter or making some overture to incest and to children. And it used to be that there was a law that said that if a woman looked underage, even if she wasn't, she was not allowed to be in pornography. And in 2004 Attorney General John Ashcroft basically overruled, won the case, that overturned the child online ​ protection act on the grounds that it violated free speech.6 So we have a case whereby somebody has decided that your right to free speech overrules the protection of sexualizing children. And I mean I'm not being a hyperbolic when I say that is ridiculous. Like this is so dangerous. So we fast forward 15 years to today and child pornography is the fastest growing ​ sector of the porn industry.7 To the point where one study that we came across referenced it as one of the fastest growing online businesses of all businesses. So this is a massive problem that our society needs to deal with. It's like protecting women, protecting children. This shouldn't be so complicated. And yet our government has made it easier to entice people into seeing young looking girls as sexual objects. And I really don't think these things happen in isolation. And so then you look at like, okay, well if child porn is becoming such a big problem, how are we cracking down on it? And in 2009 there were 624,000 cases that were reported by law ​ ​ enforcement of people sharing child porn. Only 1% of those were investigated, gone after because there wasn't enough money in the budget to go after them. I mean, that to me is insane, right? So like we've created this marketplace whereby people want to see young girls in violent situations and then we don't allocate any money to go after when they start moving into children and child pornography. So I think that's really important to just sort of put out there before we talk to any of the people who are going to say like porn is great or it might be useful or this kind of porn is okay, but that kind of porn isn't because like I can't, I cannot emphasize enough that most of the porn people are looking at or searching for is young looking girls and they're putting them in situations that look very violent. So first up we're going to talk to a researcher who's one of the few people who's looked at how porn influences women in relationships. Professor Perry is going to break down the research for us. Samuel Perry: 00:06:40 I'm an assistant professor of sociology and religious studies at the University of Oklahoma. And my areas of interest primarily are in transitions regarding kind of cultural definitions of the family, but also how religion intersects with that. And mostly I study conservative Christianity and how that particular subculture is trying to grapple with a rapidly changing demographic and cultural landscape. Emily: 00:07:08 I'd like to just get started by saying, it seems like some of your research indicates that women have a very different experience than men do in terms of viewing porn. Is that right? 6 https://www.aclu.org/cases/ashcroft-v-aclu-0 ​ 7 https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20050818005532/en/Illegal-Child-Pornography-Fastest-Growi ng-Internet-Businesses Samuel Perry: 00:07:19 Yeah. So, historically women view pornography a lot less than that ​ 8. That is changing with the advent of the Internet and smartphones. Women who previously would have been more embarrassed to try to access pornography– and that used to common joke, people don't remember this anymore, I'm not really young enough to have experienced it either or I'm not really old enough to have experienced either. But, people my dad's age, if they were going to access pornography, I mean, you had to go to a store, you had to, you know, Emily: 00:07:47 Rent it. Return it. Samuel Perry: 00:07:51 Right. You had to go to that part of the video store, the adult section or you had to get a brown bag and put a hustler or playboy in there. And it would be this kind of thing. Only men would have the boldness to do that or not only but largely. So, there were all kinds of social constraints that would have kept women from, who might've been interested in accessing porn from accessing it. Well with smartphones and the Internet all the privacy and anonymity and accessibility and affordability, it's completely free. A lot more women ​ have been accessing pornography than in years past to where it is becoming a lot more of a ​ noticeable thing and that is across different communities. So even secular women certainly have been doing that. But even in the research I've been doing9, even more religious, even ​ conservative Protestant women find themselves drawn to and more often now consuming pornography to where the gap between men's pornography consumption and women's pornography consumption is not near as stark as it used to be, Emily: 00:08:51 And so how do you measure that? Samuel Perry: 00:08:52 So you can measure this with various surveys. And so we different survey data that just shows that women who report having accessed pornography within the past year or charged in the past year, there's still a difference to be sure.

  • Pornography, Morality, and Harm: Why Miller Should Survive Lawrence
    File: 02-DIONNE-Revised.doc Created on: 3/12/2008 1:29 PM Last Printed: 3/12/2008 1:34 PM 2008] 611 PORNOGRAPHY, MORALITY, AND HARM: WHY MILLER SHOULD SURVIVE LAWRENCE Elizabeth Harmer Dionne∗ INTRODUCTION In 2003, a divided Supreme Court in Lawrence v. Texas1 declared that morality, absent third-party harm, is an insufficient basis for criminal legis- lation that restricts private, consensual sexual conduct.2 In a strongly worded dissent, Justice Scalia declared that this “called into question” state laws against obscenity (among others), as such laws are “based on moral choices.”3 Justice Scalia does not specifically reference Miller v. Califor- nia,4 the last case in which the Supreme Court directly addressed the issue of whether the government may suppress obscenity. However, if, as Justice Scalia suggests, obscenity laws have their primary basis in private morality, the governing case that permits such laws must countenance such a moral basis. The logical conclusion is that Lawrence calls Miller, which provides the legal test for determining obscenity, into question.5 ∗ John M. Olin Fellow in Law, Harvard Law School.

"We control it on our end, and now it's up to you" -- Exploitation, Empowerment, and Ethical Portrayals of the Pornography Industry Abstract Documentaries about pornography are beginning to constitute an entirely new subgenre of film. Big Hollywood names like James Franco and Rashida Jones are jumping on the bandwagon, using their influence and resources to invest in a type of audiovisual knowledge production far less mainstream than that in which they usually participate. The films that have resulted from this new movement are undoubtedly persuasive, no matter which side of the debate over pornography these directors have respectively chosen to represent. Moreover, regardless of the side(s) that audience members may have taken in the so-called “feminist porn debates,” one cannot ignore the rhetorical strength of the arguments presented in a wide variety of documentaries about pornography.

Thats 25% of all daily searches (IFR, 2006). The sex industry is largest and most profitable industry in the world. “It includes street prostitution, brothels, ‘massage parlors’, strip clubs, human trafficking for sexual purposes, phone sex, child and adult pornography, mail order brides and sex tourism – just to mention a few of the most common examples.” (Andersson et al, 2013) In 2010, 13% of global web searches were for sexual content. This does not include P2P downloads and torrents. (Ogas & Gaddam) Pornhub receives over 1.68 million visits per hour. (Pornhub, 2013) Globally, teen is the most searched term. A Google Trends analysis indicates that searches for “Teen Porn” have more than tripled between 2005-2013, and teen porn was the fastest-growing genre over this period. Total searches for teen-related porn reached an estimated 500,000 daily in March 2013, far larger than other genres, representing approximately one-third of total daily searches for pornographic web sites. (Dines, 2013) The United States is the top producer of pornographic dvds and web material; the second largest is Germany: they each produce in excess of 400 porn films for dvd every week. Internet porn in the UK receives more traffic than social networks, shopping, news and media, email, finance, gaming and travel.

  • Prostitution, Trafficking, and Cultural Amnesia: What We Must Not Know in Order to Keep the Business of Sexual Exploitation Running Smoothly
    Prostitution, Trafficking, and Cultural Amnesia: What We Must Not Know in Order To Keep the Business of Sexual Exploitation Running Smoothly Melissa Farleyt INTRODUCTION "Wise governments," an editor in the Economist opined, "will accept that. paid sex is ineradicable, and concentrate on keeping the business clean, safe and inconspicuous."' That third adjective, "inconspicuous," and its relation to keeping prostitution "ineradicable," is the focus of this Article. Why should the sex business be invisible? What is it about the sex industry that makes most people want to look away, to pretend that it is not really as bad as we know it is? What motivates politicians to do what they can to hide it while at the same time ensuring that it runs smoothly? What is the connection between not seeing prostitution and keeping it in existence? There is an economic motive to hiding the violence in prostitution and trafficking. Although other types of gender-based violence such as incest, rape, and wife beating are similarly hidden and their prevalence denied, they are not sources of mass revenue.

  • Can Pornography Ever Be Feminist?’
    Amarpreet Kaur Intimate and Sexual Practices ‘Can pornography ever be feminist?’ Pornography is defined as ‘printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement’ (Oxford Dictionaries, 2015). Reporting on 2014 activity, the self- acclaimed number one porn site named ‘Pornhub’ revealed that it had averaged about 5,800 visits per second (Pornhub, 2015a) throughout the year, making it one of the most globally popular websites and highlights how significantly dominant the online porn industry is. Those advocating for women’s equal footing in a patriarchal society, i.e. feminists, began occupying themselves with the porn industry in the 1970s (Ciclitira, 2004). Feminist literature is rife with anti-pornography stances focusing on male oppression of women, exploitation and violence (Russell, 1993) however it is also argued that pornography can be liberating and holds multiple benefits for women. Taking this in to consideration, the following assignment will explore whether or not pornography has the potential to ever give women an equal footing and satisfaction within digital society. Whilst many anti-porn feminists such as Gail Dines (2010), claim that porn is damaging to the female’s ideology on her body and sexuality, other feminists, like Wendy McElroy (1995) argue that pornography is actually liberating to women, their bodies and sexualities. Dines (TED X Talks, 2015) maintains porn advocates a blonde, white, well-toned woman, neglecting to mention that mainstream porn sites such as Pornhub feature categories such as ‘BBW’, which is an abbreviation for Big Beautiful Women (Rockson, 2009) and additional categories signify an interest in women of other races and with a range of hair colours.

  • Pornography: Is It a Victimless Crime? Bill Muehlenberg, Family Council of Victoria February 2016 10,316 Words
    Submission No 10 SEXUALISATION OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE Organisation: Family Council of Victoria Name: Mr Bill Muehlenberg Date Received: 3/02/2016 Pornography: Is It a Victimless Crime? Bill Muehlenberg, Family Council of Victoria February 2016 10,316 words Pornography is of course big business. Exact estimates are hard to come by, but one recent guestimate put the porn industry at between $8 billion and $15 billion.1 That is a lot of money. But is it all just harmless fun? Is it just “a victimless crime”? Is it up to the adult to decide what he reads and views? These ideas have of course become part of the established wisdom. As Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister once said, “If you tell any lie long enough, often enough, and loud enough, people will come to believe it.” But is it really victimless? Is it just something that is done in private with no ill social consequences? The truth is, pornography is a very damaging. There are many problems associated with it. This paper will explore some of those problems, and seek to counter the pro-porn propaganda. It will also examine the very real harm children especially experience at the hands of porn. The harm porn produces At the very moment I have been working on this paper, a newspaper headline caught my attention: “Rapist Samuel Aldrich attacked schoolgirl after watching ‘sleeping girl’ porn”. The newspaper article opens as follows: A young man broke into a 16-year-old schoolgirl’s bedroom and raped her after taking photos of her home and watching pornography about sleeping girls.

But is it utterly novel, an unpredictable rupture from the past, or is it the logical culmination of the increasing socio-political saturation of pop culture in recent decades? As new media both rapidly democratize communications and globalize cultures, while participation in formal state-focused politics declines in many industrialized societies, political scientists can no longer ignore the complex interactions between politics and popular culture. What are the effects of ubiquitous pop culture on political socialization, political discourses, propaganda, social relations, identity formation, attitudes towards power and governance, and political participation? This interdisciplinary, political sociology course applies theoretical approaches including structuralism, mass culture theory, semiotics, the Frankfurt School, Marxism and political economy, feminism, postmodernism, and post-structuralism, to such core themes as political power, consent/dissent, gender, race, class, sexuality, childhood, globalization, and (post-) colonialism in film, TV, animation, music, news media, advertising, gaming, pornography, and new digital media. Students will have opportunities to offer term work in creative formats if they choose.
