(6,417 posts)It's fantasy. It's what people want to engage in. And bringing some sunshine to it and explaining it, understanding it, helps to get to the root of it.
I'm in no way pro-violence against women. But I've had multiple girlfriends over the years that have talked about the fantasy itself, the appeal of it and the enjoyment they got from the various films that were seen.
They know the reality is what you see in films like The Accused and other films. But there is the fantasy side as well.
Hell, if not for porn, I would never have learned about a lot of things that are interesting, engaging and a whole lot of fun that I've engaged in with a several partners.
On a tangent, I remember several years ago my mother complaining about why some famous actresses and actors come on TV and talk about their illnesses, bulemia, anorexia, being abused physically and sexually as kids by adults and saying that it shouldn't be on TV. I countered back that by talking about it in a public way, it got other people who had experienced the same things and were going through similar issues a realization that they weren't alone and that they could come forward, talk about it and find hope and a way to move forward. There's some parallels to be sure with sexuality and porn has a lot of positives to work with for many couples and singles.
