In the articles and blogs that I’ve read about porn, every so often, someone talks about the “cum shot“. For the most part, I see people talking about it as objectification of women, a way to humiliate the recipient (generally, this is an argument about humiliation of women since gay porn is consistently left out […]

I’ve been reading Ernest Green’s Pro-Porn Activism blog lately and I really like his take on the anti-porn documentary propaganda that I also blogged about recently. I also highly recommend checking out his extensive posts about Stop Porn Culture, including how they misrepresented what many of their porn industry interviewees said, since they contradicted the […]

I know that I’ve been writing a lot about Proposition 8 lately, but I keep having new thoughts come up. Anyway, it seems to me that the folks who pushed for prop 8 were doing their best to instill a moral panic. Moral panics occur when a large group of people see a group, event […]
