Like movies porn demonstrates how easily mainstream films can veer into pornographic material, especially now that filmmaking technology has advanced via video-on-demand services and streaming services.
Studies indicate that watching porn can reinforce preexisting misogynist beliefs among some men, such as believing women secretly want to be forced into sexual encounters. This can be harmful for everyone involved.
1. It’s cheap and easy
As with movies, porn is both affordable and simple to access with video-on-demand (VOD) services offering far superior services compared to pay per view (PPV). Where PPV movies would only ever be broadcast at certain times of day, VOD streaming allows you to start, stop and pause whenever it suits you – offering greater convenience than its PPV counterpart.
AEBN is one of the premier adult VOD providers, boasting an expansive library of full-length porno films from top studios such as BLACKED, Double Teamed Teens and Penthouse. Their catalogue also makes finding your ideal genre easier from Asian & Interracial through Group Sex to Hardcore genres; plus all videos shot in HD look great even on low quality screens!
3. It’s a form of torture
David Edelstein of New York Magazine first coined the term „torture porn” in 2006. His goal was to quickly dismiss an emerging genre of ultraviolent horror movies featuring scenes of sustained torture – films such as Saw, Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects were among those specifically targeted. These movies had explicit violence and sexual overtones that were intended as entertainment, yet made great money – for instance the Saw franchise alone has made over $976 Million worldwide since 2006.
But the phrase has since been misused; it serves only to reduce an array of horror films to one, negative label. Furthermore, this suggests they serve no real artistic or social function – although that may be partially true; what this fails to acknowledge is that many are horror films designed with the express purpose of terrifying audiences with immediate, visceral impact.
Horror films reflect our current social climate of fear and anxiety; while it can be easy to view them solely as violence-filled spectacles, horror flicks frequently contain deeper messages about humanity’s darker sides and can offer insight into them.
Films such as The Blair Witch Project and The Hostel explored questions of reality when it comes to things happening within our own society or elsewhere, while the found footage genre’s rise during the late ’90s/early 2000s signalled discontent with political and military leaders.
No doubt it is no accident that this genre of movie coincides with an increase in global terrorism concerns and desire for accountability among those in power. And while an increased exposure to violence both real and fictional may contribute to desensitization over time, popularity of such films as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Final Destination or Wolf Creek does not automatically indicate we’ve become used or desensitized towards violent images.
4. It’s a form of entertainment for men
Pornographic movies are tailored specifically for men, offering plots and situations designed to get them hot or sexually excited. Pirate movies, space sex scenes and zombie flicks, as well as naked monster movies offer something for every viewer.
Directors and producers of these movies put forth considerable effort into producing movies of high-quality that can be appreciated by adults who appreciate art. Not intended to be watched alone but shared among family or friends, these films should not be experienced alone but shared among groups.
Many films can be purchased through websites offering video on demand services – an attractive alternative to pay-per-view offered by certain television channels and motels in the past. Users can watch any film they wish when they please and start, stop, pause it at any point during viewing.
