Do you think porn is degrading to women? Why or why not?

Not really. The actresses are doing it by choice and, to be honest, I 'degrade' myself a whoooole lot worse in some of my favorite fantasies. The guys in these things aren't usually playing rocket scientists either, haha.

I would say that porn itself isn't degrading, but the acts in a particular film may be. (ATM, for instance) And because a single woman chooses to do something considered degrading on camera does not mean she degrades the whole of her own gender. If the viewer chooses to draw generalizations about all women based upon porn, it's the viewer that has the problem.

Porn itself isn't degrading. Having sex on camera for its entertainment value is just business.

What some men do to women in porn is degrading to them. Some "men" love to see disgusting things done to a woman and connect it with sex somehow. I saw a film once of a guy pouring cans of dog food on a naked, sobbing girl while calling her a f*cking slut whore b*tch etc. Some guy somewhere was probably watching that and beating off. I don't know who is more degraded, the actress or the guys who find it arousing.

Oh look my favorite topic LOL I think that porn isn't degrading per se. but define degrading...

1. a : to lower in grade, rank, or status : demote b : to strip of rank or honors c : to lower to an inferior or less effective level <degrade the image quality> d : to scale down in desirability or salability

2. a : to bring to low esteem or into disrepute <his actions have degraded his profession> b : to drag down in moral or intellectual character : corrupt

I strongly feel that commercial porn, does create unrealistic expectations of women. In that they are expected to look and act like women in porn, which is NOT reality! So perhaps for the women who are not porn stars it is degrading to a certain degree, because of the unrealistic expectation, their self esteem is damaged and they are sometimes made to feel like less of a woman or not quite good enough, comparing themselves to these surgically altered women.

My .02 :)

Interesting. I think of degrading as the second definition. You focused on the first, "to scale down in desirability or salability." I had not considered porn in those terms until now.

I don't know where my idea of a physically attractive woman came from. There is obviously a huge range of what men find appealing. The porn stereotype is certainly not universal. "Surgically altered" does nothing for me ad on the other end of the spectrum there are guys who beat off to pictures of the Olsen twins. I'll bet women are the same. The appeal of porn to me is more psychological and what is available is visual and that is why I find most of it boring.

I don't think that it is because, as adults, we have the right and ability to make our own choices. If a woman does something, or has another do something to her, that she gets enjoyment from and wants to do, who has the right to judge her or that action, and term it degrading? Different people enjoy different things. What might seem degrading to one, may be the biggest turn-on ever to another. Those in the porn industry are there because they chose to be. If some of those scenes were forced on someone with the purpose of hurting them (physically or mentally), then yeah, it would probably be degrading. But if it isn't forced, then it is just that person's kink.

There are people who think giving a guy oral is degrading for women. I find it the most powerful thing a woman can do to a man. It's about acceptance of differences, even if those differences aren't understandable to us.

It depends on the movie and what's happening. I myself, I love it when I watch a porn where the woman appears to be totally into it. I love watching her give a blow job and him enjoying the act. With me being bisexual, there are times when I fantasize about being the woman giving the blow job. I found myself wanting to do what she's doing. Other times, I like the idea of being the man having her do that act to me. I don't really get off watching a woman or man being torched or harmed in the movie. Two guys on one girl or two girls with one guy, I find hot as long as they're is not any torture involved.I know some of that seemed a little off subject, but I just think it depends on the movie and what they're required to do.

I’m not really into porn. I actually find a lot of it boring. I think much of what’s out there puts the women into degrading situations. Men are dominant and women are strictly sex objects ... toys for the men to do whatever they want. I did watch a movie called “Silver Shoes” which was told from a women’s point of view. Interesting and arousing. Check it out. I like to see women sharing equal opportunities.

I think there's definitely a lot of porn that is absolutely degrading to women I don't find it arousing but we're not all turned on by the same things I think some porn can really spice up a relationship but it's the storyline porn movies that are erotic and romantic

This is a great point. However,  there is a growing number of women in producer roles for adult films, which makes them a bit more diverse. :)

It’s degrading to me if the guy really gets rough and starts throwing her around, squeezing her tits until you can see the pain in her eyes. I know there are those that like having stuff done to them but feel it gets carried away at times. A retired porn star stopped doing b/g because he was getting. Too rough and they kept filming.

Yes. As much as I enjoy some porn, I think when the guy is pushing the girls head on his cock it’s degrading. I don’t need any help thank you very much!!

AGREE 100%  especially when he pushes the back  of her all the way to his balls for a deep throat and doesn't allow up for air
