Nudie Magazines Facing Ban, But Why Now?

Image

Letter to the Guardian from Lose the Lads’ Mags:

The Lose the Lads’ Mags campaign by UK Feminista and Object is calling on high-street retailers to immediately withdraw lads’ mags and papers featuring pornographic front covers from their stores. Each one of these stores is a workplace. Displaying these publications in workplaces, and/or requiring staff to handle them in the course of their jobs, may amount to sex discrimination and sexual harassment contrary to the Equality Act 2010. Similarly, exposing customers to these publications in the process of displaying them is capable of giving rise to breaches of the Equality Act.

High-street retailers are exposing staff and, in some cases, customers to publications whose handling and display may breach equality legislation. Displaying lads’ mags and pornographic papers in “mainstream” shops results in the involuntary exposure of staff and, in some cases, customers to pornographic images.

 

I don’t understand why this group is attacking Lads’ Mags. They really aren’t offensive, at least to me. The photography is complimentary to the nudity.

Not to mention, who would want to attack print media in this day and age? Don’t they have enough problems?

The Girl’s Porn Parody

HBO-Girls-cast

By now you’ve heard that there’s a Girl porn parody in the works.

You’re either excited for it because you think Alison Williams is going to be in it or you’re upset by it like Lena Dunham or you’re indifferent because porn parodies is just what happens to things that have entered our cultural consciousness.

Though not really an opinion, this was the Sex.com Blog‘s reaction was to reflect on the cumshot that was laid on Shiri Appleby by Adam:

People weren’t sure if they were witnessing the first-ever TV-rape or TV-cumshot. Either way, this sex scene is not erotic or arousing in any way. It’s disturbing because Adam behaves in an aggressive manner that’s only really shown in pornography.

I’ve heard people (mostly feminists) describe cumshots as aggressive and humiliating to women before, but I had trouble seeing it from that perspective because it’s never really framed that way in porn videos (I’m not counting bukkake videos by the way because that’s just plain crazy and gross). However, after watching this scene I realized that it is aggressive and humiliating though we’re not shown that in porn videos. This is how pornographic sex exists in the real world and this is exactly the skewed idea of sex created by the proliferation of porn and  that Lena Dunham was tweeting about.

“When I first started kissing boys,” she told Frank Bruni, ”I remember noticing things, certain behaviors, where I thought, ‘There’s no way you learned that anywhere but on YouPorn.com. There’s no way any teenage girl taught you and reinforced that behavior.’”

I thought maybe that meant we would never see a Girls porn parody because of how the show has juxtaposed pornographic sex with real intimate sex. But hey, I guess I was wrong.

Maybe it’s just me, but for me I really think it’s cool that they are willing to speak so frankly about pornography despite being a porn site. If you guys aren’t already all over the Sex.com Blog, you’re missing out.

Pinterest, Sex.com, and Gender Views on Porn

“Because our site is based off a system that mostly appeals to women and the content traditionally appeals to men, I’ve been wondering after a year of Sex.com, who uses Sex.com more, men or women? Is Sex.com‘s pin and board style finally attracting a strong female audience to porn? Or have men learned to nest with the content that they find, debunking Jerry Seinfeld‘s theory?”

via The Sex.com Blog.

It’s true. Sex.com is styled for women but the content is all for men.

Vote to let them know if men are nesting or if women are watching porn!

Camille Crimson interview

One question I’ve resisted asking is, “Why blowjobs?” Especially after finding this answer to the very same question in your Frequently Asked Questions: “Blowjobs are often represented as degrading, violent or just the appetizer to other kinds of sex. No one was really focusing on the skill, sensuality and beauty involved in the blowjob, so we wanted to give it the respect it deserves!” What would you tell someone to reassure them that blowjobs are not degrading, violent or just an appetizer?

Take a look at the sites! The main thing is that you’re in control of what you’re doing. If you don’t want things to feel a certain way, make that clear and find a way to give the kind of blowjob you want to give. And vice versa. Communication will get people on the same page about what they want. If they want something more sensual, balanced and respectful, all you need to do is have that in mind while you give/receive the blowjob and act in kind.”

Nice. Camille Crimson is sexy but I’m relieved to hear she’s so down to earth.

Great interview. You should read the full interview here: http://bit.ly/10TUM6N
