From your iPhone to the magazine
stand, pornography is increasingly
affordable, accessible and relatively anonymous. Yet for
something so prevalent, we rarely are given the tools to be able to
"read" the messages we get from porn about sex and sexuality
.
Research and data on the prevalence
of porn indicate that:
- “Sex” is the number one search topic on the internet
- there are over 420,000,000 porn sites that contain pretty much everything imaginable
- In the US alone, porn reigns in 10 billion dollars annually
- That’s more than the NFL, NBA, and MLB…COMBINED.
And just as there are a seemingly infinite
number of genres or “types” of porn, there seems to be an equally abundant
array of opinions – whether they’re moral, legal, political, ethical, or
otherwise – on the subject.
But beyond the fierce debate of whether porn
is good or bad, one thing is clear: pornography’s wide
availability is changing how we as a society understand and construct our
sexualities.
Join the discussion TONIGHT and learn how porn is
changing the way we get down!
