“The word pornography comes from the Greek meaning whore, prostitute, prostitute, and to buy or sell a woman” (Oprah, 2009). The word alone is degrading to women, how bad could the actual acts be? There are so many forms that pornography comes in: magazines, posters, music, videos, and, the most popular, the Internet. All of this makes it all too easy to access. Some of the serious effects include violent and degrading acts against women, the difference between a real and televised sex life, and the sexual problems that pornography contributes to for many, many couples. US pornography is an $8 billion a year business with an annual turnover of $50 million” (Oprah, 2009). Lust aside, porn is dangerous and destructive for many reasons. First of all, it gives an unrealistic vision of the female body. The women in these videos are very skinny, airbrushed from head to toe, with makeup covering every type of imperfection and, of course, large fake breasts. And on top of all these additions they alter and edit videos with Photoshop to make them even more perfect! “How can a man look at these false images of “sexual perfection” and not start to think less of his wife? How can you not be affected by these images? And when he thinks "my wife would look better with bigger breasts" or "I wish my wife would shave her pubic hair like that" isn't he longing for another woman who looks like that?" (The Marriage Bed, Inc , 2009) .Men compare their wives to these unrealistic female figures and want them to change. How is this fair to any woman who watches pornography gets an immediate response and of course, positive reinforcement “It's impossible for men to watch porn and not be… middle of paper… hey. Women are treated like a piece of meat when it comes to pornography , I repeat, it's about men. It will be interesting to see what happens to pornography in the next few years. Either it will continue to increase or someone will realize that this material is not okay. They should think about it I'm gaming their marriages, or whether it's okay for their sons to have access to these videos as easily as they are, or whether their daughters might one day be victims of this. Whatever happened to passionate sex with the person you love… and respect? Pornography is nothing but a vicious cycle. Pornography creates in real life the exact opposite of what it promises in fantasy life. Ironic, isn't it??
