TL;DR: BP pussy preaches about how porn is bad, makes all the right points but misses the conclusion. Porn is your right, and it keeps women working for you.

I'm a frequent watcher of Ted Talks. I find many of them remarkably interesting and educational. However, when they touch on social issues, they tend to be so BP I can't even watch.

While browsing some of the options for the TedX channel on Youtube, I saw there were several playlists of 10 videos each on specific subjects. Sex was one of the categories, so I flipped over to the playlist.

Four of the titles were about porn, and they were as follows:

• Make Love, not Porn (by a woman)
• Why I stopped watching porn (by a man)
• It's time for Porn to Change (by a woman)
• Feminist Porn, Shifting our Sexual Culture (by a woman)

I point out the gender of the speaker because I find it relevant. Two of these videos are about changing porn itself, strictly from the woman's perspective, which is obviously because men don't see a problem with porn as it is (and why should they?).

The other woman-led talk focused on not watching porn and making sex more intimate. Obviously this fits the feminist agenda quite well.

It's the final one that gets me. A man making a case for why he stopped watching porn. There's more blue in this than there is in the fucking sky. I actually watched this one, and here are some highlights.

His 2nd reason for not watching porn is that he considered it contributing to "filmed prostitution." Give him credit where it's due, he calls it exactly what it is. But he goes the wrong direction after:

Prostitution was nobody's childhood dream, it is always the result of trouble and distress.

By equating porn with prostitution, he's able to make this ridiculous leap in logic. Nevermind that a woman can make a ridiculous quantity of money doing porn or whoring herself out on a webcam. Nevermind that nobody is forced to do it in the developed world. Nevermind that many girls raised in decent family situations and in good standing in society choose to do this to reap those financial benefits before hitting the wall. Nope, porn = girl in trouble. White Knight if I ever heard one.

He goes on to say that "porn is all about male domination of women. Subordinance of women." Nevermind that this is what women actually prefer in bed.

What qualifies something as sexual? Whatever men find arousing. Men find it amusing to choke a woman, to have brutal sex without one touch, hug or kiss, a tender caress.

He goes on to rattle off some categories of porn which are demeaning to women, such as crying or abuse or rape porn. Granted, I feel like those categories are out of the question for me. But he conveniently omits the fact that almost every major porn site has "for women" categories. He also ignores the fact that women can and do enjoy porn, too.

5. About 1 in 5 women (18%) use the Internet for sexual purposes habitually—every week.

I bring this up because I think porn doesn't get a big discussion on TRP. Obviously life is better when the sex is real, porn shouldn't be your life, and addiction to anything is bad. But in my opinion, porn satisfies a male need, one that women are currently failing to satisfy. Few people are watching regular good ole' fashioned missionary sex porn, because many people can get that.

Porn provides something that most people aren't able to experience on a regular basis. And that very fact irritates women. Why should women want to have higher expectations for them in bed? Starfishing the night away is much easier than performing oral, taking a cumshot on the tits, and actually moving her ass while riding your cock reverse cowgirl. Porn sets the bar for men, and women don't want to jump over it.

Last point:

Girls get this notion that if you want to be worthy of love, you have to be worthy of sexual desire.

Again, nailed it on the head, except he presents it as a tragedy. Yes women, the whole reason we get married, the whole reason we talk to you, the whole reason we enjoy your company (or pretend to), is for sex. And it's for that reason that there are millions of unattractive women in the world, grotesque, hideous beasts, who go unsexed and unwed for their entire lives.

Porn reduces our need for sex, and thus reduces our need for women. Therefore porn is directly against women's best interests. It's no wonder that they attack it. Don't be like this tool and cave in on the issue. If she doesn't want porn, she can satisfy you like a porn star.
