The study, to be published in the noted international Journal of Sex Research, analysed 50 of the bestselling pornographic videos in Australia to find out whether people were represented as sex objects.

Queensland University Professor Alan McKee, who led the study, said researchers compared the way women and men were represented in each video.

They noted such things as who initiated the sex, whose pleasure was paid attention to, whether people in the videos got to speak about what they wanted during sex and whose perspective the videos were presented from.

"We were surprised at just how active and in control the women were in these videos," Prof McKee said today.

"This study suggests that mainstream pornography in Australia doesn't represent women as sex objects, it shows them as active sexual agents."

The findings are part of a three-year government-funded study – the most comprehensive of its kind – on pornography in Australia.

Interim results released in 2003 on the content of pornographic movies found super-size breasts scare some men, conservative voters love dirty magazines and adult videos have realistic plots.

Of note, I'm not posting this as a blind supporter of porn. I see it as based on roles and totaly comodified to begin with to begin with. And in the world I'd like to create, there would probably be more fleshy stuff.

That being said, I find the results interesting.

I would assume the realistic plots line is relative to mainstream movies.

Heh. I could never understand, while watching a porn movie one time, why there were TWO pizza delivery guys assigned to deliver a pizza to the the sexy woman who paid for it in an, ahem, unconventional fashion.

I keep waiting for two hot pizza delivery guys to come to my place and give me that payment option, but it's never happened. I don't understand it.

There was one in Niagara region who was rather willing to spend some extra time, but he didn't like girls. He had a fabulous accent, dark hair and big blue eyes and when last I heard was running the business. Came to Canada with a suitcase and 5 years later owns a pizza place

Studies of this kind are always subjective, for instance, How did prof McKee determine weather a woman is an "active sexual agent", How did he define the term?

Loretta I don't know if it is YOU exactly. I think most men think that Women really really want sex and one day they, as men, will find SOMEONE to give it to them.... I suspect it doesn't really narrow down until someone actually does give it to them..... If our definitions of sexuality were not quite so defined, I suspect sex would be a much more casual subject. As the lines between sexuality become more blurred, I think there will be many more trendy bisexual males, marriage will come later, and will be as much about companionship as anything else. After all a lot of women are never really as interested in sex as a 17 year old boy.

I was wondering that too. These "active sexual agents" must be lurking in every porn film I've ever seen. Everyone is so interested in having sex with complete strangers. Like most girls, of course.

I think most women really, really want sex once in a while. The problem comes when a man thinks a woman wants sex all the time.

Anyway, one study with fifty videos does not prove that the porn industry has suddenly become a bastion of gender equality.

That is true, but it does say something about the attitudes of the people buying this particular selection of Porn, and what they fantasize about.

I'm no expert on porn, but I want to report a surprise we just got. My wife was trying to phone a bank's 800 number, and hit a wrong digit. She astonished to find the bank's phone apparently being answered by a sexy voice which offered callers a choice: "to hunt down a horny girl of your choice, press 1. To speak with a real professional, a nasty slut, right now, press 2."

If you don't believe me, dial 1-800-465-5653. But DON'T whip out your credit card.

I'm sorry. (Even though I know you weren't addressing me with that, but I didn't help.) I was just making fun of the claim that mainstream porn somehow depicts realistic situations. I probably shouldn't have done the thread drift thing, but it was already drifting anyhow, and I really do think that this study's findings were rather silly.

Almost all the porn I've seen has only focused on the woman's pleasure or shown her "in charge" to the degree that it would be a turn on for the men in the movie. I don't think I've ever seen porn where it looked like the woman was really genuinely getting off, at least it didn't look like that from my perspective as a woman who knows what gets ME off during sex. (I know I can't speak for all women in that respect, this is just my perception.)

So, that "realistic" claim just sort of made me guffaw.

Well, after what are literally years of discussion on the topic, the context of this thread has finally given me a new appreciation of the term 'mixed member proportional'.

It apparently has something to do with pizza, as well as voting habits.

Porn is designed for the purpose of giving visual stimulation to masturbating men. I'm not in a position to comment on straight porn, but gay porn frequently features positions and acts designed to maximise the visual stimulation, but that wouldn't likely be the most pleasing ones to the audience if they were actually participating.

The same is true, of course, of all kinds of fictional popular entertainment.

I don't think one could properly compare the female characters in porn to one's own life, but only to male characters and female characters in other productions.

If we're going to say that porn is "unrealistic" then I think it's only fair that it be compared to Harlequin Romances. So it only has to be as realistic as the Lord of the Manor swooping in on his horse to rescue the Poor Servant Girl who doesn't yet know she's the heiress to the mansion, and caressing her gently with his rough, strong hands as the two gallop back to his castle where he tears off her bodice in order to make love by the hearth as she...ZzzzzZzzzz.. zzzz... zzzzz.

Really, if fantasies are suddenly constrained to being realistic, then they're not really fantasies any more.

What do you think would be the biggest downer, the biggest mood killer, in terms of introducing an element of realism? Having them pause to put on a condom, perhaps?

In my opinion - unwelcome as it may be - this thread and its attempts at humour are a result of most of us not wanting to dive back into the very divisive and fractious 'porn' debate that happened a month or two ago. Everyone's positions were clear, and it was getting really nasty. The original post looked like it was going to brew up the whole thing again, and I was profoundly relieved when people started making jokes rather than shouting at each other.

Having said that, I realize that my last post may be taken as sniping rather than my intent, which was for it to be a joking reference to a past disagreement among friends. I don't like to remove posts, but I will if people prefer.

Ok cool. Now maybe we can pull out some whacky giggly references to Black and Indian stereotypes in popular culture in the racism thread 'cause now we're all getting along so well. Relief from discomfort is good and all, thus 'insider' humour, but it can be hard to tell when a line is being crossed. Just my $0.02 - but then again I'm peevish at the best of times.

What I see here is baiting, pure and simple, and a desire to get *back into* the crap many claim to not like. And it seems the feminism forum is being used to such ends. Maybe I've missed something, but it's been a good while since there's been a lot of ugliness in this forum. Seems some are spoiling for a fight.

That's hyperbole, and you know it.

Porn threads in the feminism forum, when seriously addressed, seem inevitably to lead to angry debate and people saying nasty things to one another. Like this, for instance:

Martin & Cueball, I'm all for poking holes (hah!) into this in-depth (hah!) study. But the repeated references to thongs and high heels - which, for some reason caused no end of trouble here only a little while ago - are meant to do only one thing: provoke. Or maybe they aren't meant to. Maybe people were just being thoughtless.

Please note: I contributed not one word to the thong-high-heel debate that I can recall. Still, I did notice that a lot of knickers (hah!) got into very nasty knots over who said whatever about whoever could should or didn't enjoy thongy thong thongs and tippy hippy high heels.

To pretend that bringing them up again and again in a porn thread in the feminism forum isn't asking for trouble is disingenuous at best.

Edited to add: Oh, and "fuckwads" was a joke. Didn't you get it? And: Thank you thank you thank you, Makwa!

I think there's really only one person who could have been "provoked" by a reference to, uh, certain undergarments. And she herself brought them up in a recent thread in the feminism forum:

"Along with the obligatory thongs and high heels, of course, but I digress."

I made it a link so you can go there, right now, and chastise her for also scratching at old wounds in the feminism forum. And make it good; I'll be checking.

Fight? Where? I am too damned busy laughing over here to see any fight.

I know have this picture in my head (dispite not knowing what they look like) of a very confused pizza delivery guy standing in a door way with an extra large meat lovers pizza in his hands, and Michelle and RB salaciously trying to "tip" the guy. He is confused because, apparently they are both in thongs and high heels.

...

On a more serious note, there is porno to meet every desire out there. In fact, in keeping with this particular forum, there is even a more romantic kind, "soft porn" which spends more time in either an educational mode, or along the lines of a sensual erotica (the latter can be, not always, characterised by lack of penetration on view, these would be seen more like a Harlquin romance novel). Some of the directors (ladies) describe themselves as feminists (tho I suppose some would debate that, not I).

Try this sight for a cross section that touches on all most all tastes (warning, read the front page description first, the site does include pics of toys and videos).

Unless you are looking at a real sex ed film by a real sex therapist, chances are, the film has only one function... To create an arousal that leads to masturbation... As someone else described (RB that's you) the visuals are not necessarily things you should try at home (in fact, some have warnings indicating that this is not a good idea). Not all men, and not all women enjoy porno, or even sex. Some do, and others learned that you can make a lot of money doing something that a majority of people enjoy (even I say some of those positions look uncomfortable, and who wants a hot 1000 watt light buld singeing their private bits).

Actually, alot do now days. Some actors insist on it, even with long time porn partners.

And let me tell you. Look up Nina Hartly on the site I linked, she does an educational film that makes putting on a condom fun (it takes two even for that act with her).

The article is dumb. Without specific details (the definitions the reasearchers used, the conditions under which the study was conducted) we really can't discuss it in a serious way. I mean, what does Mr. Mckee mean by "realistic plots"?

Besides, none of us are saying, "you go mainstream porn, your the best!" We're mocking it, we're taking the piss out of patriarchy.

In Backroom Facials, which is the epitomy of grossly sexist rape-porn on the internet, the condom is put on, and shown in penetration.

So, I think this issue, of the wearing or not wearing of condoms is moot, and unimportant.

Of course. It was a NFB animated short called "The Cat Came Back and Got His Funk On With Six Cheerleaders" and it cost the taxpayer $4 million dollars. In it the cat, naked except for black socks, was shown using a "French Letter", and parts of the movie were cut out in Ontario for showing "tail".

Well, what I would do, is I would download Kazaa lite, and then do a search for Backroom Facials, it is associated with BangBus, and Bangbrothers Productions and I think you would find the material you are looking for.

You could just go to the site itself via google search, but then you would have to register and pay, but if you go through Kazaa, you would get the film clips you wanted for free.

You might have to download 3 to 4 clips before you found one with an actual penetration shot, but if you are comitted to the project you should be able to find it.

Be warned though, my GF in San Diego, whom from all my dealings with her seemed quite demure, stumbled on the Backroom Facials stuff, quite unrelated to my discovery, and she suprised me when she said it was really "really hot," even if gross.

We tried to determine whether or not the setups were "real" or not, and we could not decide. However the "acting" just seems to be to good to be set up, so I think this is real finacial manipulation and abuse purveyed on the internet, and boderline rape.

I'd be interested in your opinion.

BTW, I am not playing poker. Or any kind of "game."

Frankly, as someone who has been intimate with the sex trade in various capacities on an off throughout my life, I have various opinions on what has been said here by you and others about it, and I have avoided the discussion because most of it is highly theoretical.

For instance I just spent the last to weeks sorting out bail and court appearances bail for my friends (pregnant) crack addicted girlfriend who sometimes works in the trade. That was not theoretical at all.

At one time, I had thought of putting my two cents in on the discussion here, but they seem so filled up with empty moralizing, without any kind of real sympathy for the people involved, and simply ideological jousting (from both sides,) so I didn't.

I just don't see how anything I could say here could even be entered into the evidence, without my personal feelings about my friends and intimates, some who have come to very bad ends might appear here, without being caught up in some bizarre ideological dispute.

I am relating information, and that is all.

You asked.

I'd really prefer it if writer were given moderator status explicitly. She's been acting as a moderator for quite some time now, condoning, condemning, cajoling...whatever...without the explicit status of moderator but with implicit status that she helped "create babble.", which not everyone is aware of, and even fewer people care about.

She's pissed off quite a few people now, and I think her status should be clarified on babble.

Until then, I won't be back.

You can spend all day here spinning your stupid uninformed theories, but when it comes down to actually looking at what it is that you like to say you know about, you come up with 2 of clubs as your high card.

Don't worry she is just trying to smere you.


Well, to tell you the truth, I forget who said they knew of films available on line that had actors who used condoms. I think in fact that more than one person claimed this. So fine, someone, anyone, provide a link.

I am quite sure that most porn magazines and videos do not use condoms.

Absolutely right.

I have given you explicit information on how to find hardcore rape/porn which features men wearing condoms. You asked for it, repeatedly.

There you go.

It is simple: You can't handle the truth.

Okay, everyone, why don't we step back for a moment.

First of all, one thing I think writer is correct about is that the baiting remarks about thongs and high heels are unnecessary, and seem only to have been posted in order to stir up old fights again. I think that needs to stop, in this thread and in others where those things are not directly relevant to the matter at hand.

Now, regarding Cueball and MD's argument - it's not like we're going to start linking to Bang Bus and stuff like that, so, no, obviously we're not going to be able to prove our assertions with links to XXX porn here.

I think that if several people claim they've seen condoms used in porn (I have as well, although I've seen more porn without condoms than with them, probably because I've seen more older porn from years ago than the newer stuff out now) then we don't have to call them liars if they don't actually link to the stuff. Cueball has given specific sources and even how to get to it if anyone is really dying to see it for themselves, and I think that's enough "proof" for the purposes of this discussion.

Pardon me, it's getting late, but what kind of nonsense is this?

This has gone on long enough, I think.
