WOW this blog is amazing! I'm female, straight, and here to rant.
The current image of a 'perfect woman' disgusts me. This popular figure in porn has no pubic hair to speak of, a teeny tiny neat vagina, and is as skinny as a rake. This is NOT an image of a woman, it's an image of a VERY young girl. I feel like I'm one of the few people who sees something so wrong with this. It's not only degrading to women everywhere, but to men as well - to say that this is what should be sexually gratifying to them is just plain offensive.

I realise this rant is from a very heterosexual point of view - but so is the porn industry.
Rant over, keep up the good work!

Preaching to the choir here, sailingisfine.

Porn is a complicated issue for me. While I see nothing wrong with performers enjoying their work and choosing to be in the industry, I do agree with you about the image it can project. Jessica Valenti has a very in-dept chapter about this predicament in her book, The Purity Myth. Check it out if you can. She can explain, defend, and ponder the situation much better than I.

And by the way, you’re amazing, my lovely lamb.
