Following recent buzz in the news about the reported visit of a notorious figure of the Bollywood Industry- going to the extent of publishing that figure's full-fledged photo on a front cover of a Saturday Newspaper- I have come to ponder on certain things. Well, for those not living in Mauritius and have no idea about what I'm trying to conjure up- I came to ponder on the subject of Pornography this day!
The pornography industry renamed itself to “adult entertainment industry” in order to create the perception that it’s just entertainment- when it goes far beyond that- because to be honest, entertainment is that from which one derives pleasure-and well, some people do derive pleasure from it-what type of pleasure is debatable..But here I start to ponder...Even a sadist derives pleasure in harming people- so do serial killers and why not that imp of a teacher who thinks bolstering our stacks of homework is pleasurable!
Well- Porn is really about sexual pleasure- something that is safeguarded by many within the sanctity of marriage life- but hey, kid me! Dare tell me you are not libidinous! Girls, dare tell me you have not gulp down tonnes and tonnes of Mills and Boons/ Fifty Shades of Gray to mention only the famous ones!
But coming back to the point- Porn cannot be merely entertainment for those claiming it is and revel in it. It's beyond that! Let's get over this- Right, it transcends eye teaser and even masturbation.
Because I've come to a conclusion- a sociological one.
Men who are addicted to pornography frequently defend their addiction by claiming they have “needs.” Addicts are not using pornography for “entertainment,” but to mask their emotional problems. Porn does not liberate men, but puts them in virtual bondage. Their unhappiness is still there, their relationship problems are still there, and they risk damaging their lives further as the addiction increases. Sadly, most pornography addicts are probably unaware they have an addiction, thanks to society telling them that it is just “men’s entertainment.” (The Labelling process/ Self-Fulfilling Theory..)

Surely would society say so. Because men are meant to be the sexual athletes! The sole ones who derive pleasure from sex..Porn tend to "eroticise" the power of masculinity. For me, Internet porn is probably the biggest "miseducation" system we can devise in terms of sexuality because the knowledge conveyed is incomplete- it's never a perfect one! Try reading the Kamasutra for a new whiff of air about sex, sexual behaviours and seduction- you'll be more than amazed!- These are the non-mainstream books that people ought to read!

"Bergner interviewed sexologists and sex therapists to uncover the mystery of women’s sexuality. His conclusions challenge the romantic and submissive view of femininity. Women are libidinous creatures, with a sex drive as strong as men’s. Monogamy is a fairy tale. And parental investment theory, which decrees that women are born to nurture, and men to fornicate, is a myth. Women’s fantasies of domination, stranger sex, group sex and public sex, would all comfortably fit in a soft-porn novel."
