Yeah it's a guy interviewing a woman he's about to rape for the benefit of those complicit in her abuse... ah come on sweetie, tell us what a favor we're doing your 'high sex drive' by raping you

i dont watch porn anymore but this seems like a really interesting way to think about this video

It's basically slut-shaming: "I don't want to hear what you have to say because you're unapologetic about having sex"

shut up retard

Sorry dude that's the way it comes across. Discipline's attitude to her is pretty belittling.

Besides I never said "hey check out this video, this excuses the misogyny in porn", I just think it's interesting.

lol the pornographer is just invisible to you isnt he



No I know he's there and I don't like him either but I do like hearing the opinions and views of the performers in a more relaxed and conversational interview.

Look, I stopped watching porn, and sincerely, a lot of it in part was thanks to posters like khamsek in lf, i'm not sure why i'm being jumped on for posting a video with no nudity, no sex, because i found it interesting.

I don't see any evidence that Reilly Reed is a substance abuse addict. And sure there is a lot of substance abuse in the industry but i'm not going to assume that she is because of that, just like i wouldn't assume a black dude is a murderer.

incidences of substance abuse among sex workers?

Incidence of substance use and addiction varies widely. Studies in the United States found prevalence of substance use and addiction ranging from 0% to 84%, depending on the population being studied, with substance addiction relatively common among street prostitutes (c. 50%)(6) but rare among women who work off the street.

i'm not sure how comfortable i am saying that being "addicted to alcohol or opiates" removes the women's agency. you can go to any party and find people who are "addicted" - would you accost them too? well, i guess so

as far as women's agency:

1986 study by Diane Prince, however, found call girls and brothel workers had higher self esteem than before they became prostitutes. 97% of call girls liked themselves 'more than before.' (This study also examines suicide rates, and is often misquoted, referring to a statistic regarding call-girls. In the context of pathologizing prostitutes, some mistakenly report that 75% percent of call girls have attempted suicide, however, according to this study 76% of call girls considered (not attempted) suicide, along with 61% of non-prostitutes, and only 42% of brothel workers.

sounds like working in a brothel is a good career choice for happiness

I've also read testimony's by women who have got out of the industry about how horrible and disgusting it was too, i'm not trying to apologise for porn.

damn she kind of looks actively creepy by the end of the video

thats fine, im just saying that the pornographer is clearly determining her responses. i havent even watched the video tbh but anytime a man is in a room with a woman thats determining how she responds, thats just a fact of life in a patriarchal society. this is not like a candid interview with a woman or human being sharing herself, its an expression of the pornographers fantasy.

Ok I agree with that to some extent, but the question is where do you go from there. Do you discount anything that she says in such a context or can you read it critically?

I had the same thought watching COPS last night: It's obviously police and status quo propaganda but at the same time if you watch it critically you get insights into the struggles and hurdles of the American underclass that would never, ever be shown on TV otherwise.

you have to consider what she's saying as being determined by the pornographer. i don't think there's a whole lot you can get out of the video other than that.

not sure what you could really get out of COPS either except that police work is violent and intrusive

When I'm watching an Al Qaeda hostage talk about how much he hates USA before he gets his head cut off on camera I wonder to myself, should we discount anything he says in such a context or should we read it critically?



Well he was jewish so he probably did hate the USA

I realize she's operating under that framework but i'm not sure if that means I need to discount everything she says. I will think about this some more though

You're not going to get a thesis out of COPS but considering how glossy and sanitized America's cultural vision is of itself, the class antagonisms and dysfunction of poor communities represented on the show are a stark difference.

Hey getfiscal this is off topic but i just got a bunch of Canadian money and found out their nickname. Has any Canadian rapper ever bragged "I got more loonies than an asylum" because if not i'm going to sell it to Drake.

And yeah porn just started grossing me out: the more mature my relationships with women have become the less i enjoy the cheap facsimile of sex that porn is.

How do feminists justify the belief that pornography causes rape and violence against women in light of the fact that pornography availability has exploded to ludicrous degrees in the last 15 years and during that same time incidence of rape and domestic violence has gone down

i think it's gotten to the point where the feminists say that it's actually making men impotent in irl sexual situations. DEFINITELY TRUE

pornography actually increases violent thoughts towards women in its consumers

Are violent thoughts better than violent actions?
