Over the next week or so, I'll be posting piles about pornography, ethical porn, arguments against porn, etc. Some of you have requested more information about ethical porn specifically (for academic reasons only!). Obviously, there's way too much to include in one post, so I'll be adding stuff as I dig it up. The ethical porn movement has been driven largely by women who describe themselves as sex-positive feminists. Many more women are now producing porn, which has had a significant effect on the market. Not surprisingly, most of the porn sex-positive feminists discuss, promote, produce, etc. features men with women, or women with women. As of yet, the ethical porn movement has not really ventured much into gay male porn. If anybody out there is familiar with a similar trend in gay male porn, please let me know!!!
I should also make it clear that the ethical porn movement is, in no way, anti-hardcore. As a matter of fact, ethical porn can be EXTREMELY hardcore (or softcore). What makes it different is that it's ethically produced. Also keep in mind that the vast majority of mainstream porn, some of which is considered ethical, is still produced with men as the intended consumers.
More to come...
