Pornography And Women


            The debate of women in pornography has been a well developed over the decades. With the emergence of women's liberation there have been several organizations against the pornography industry such as Women against Pornography (WAP), Women against Violence Against Women (WAVAW), and Women against Violence in Pornography and the Media (WAVPM) (Cowan 347). These groups focus on the issue of women's objectification in pornography and the results of these images to the public. Yet as these groups have emerged, the pornography industry has suffered little. Anywhere you go via Internet, newsstand, or video store the market for pornography is enormous. Even though this industry creates billion dollar revenues, is it harmful against women in their efforts to break gender stereotypes and towards equal rights to men?.
             Even though women in pornography participate from their own free will, the impact on the public is what has to be observed. These sexual images created by magazines and videos show women with unattainable beauty. The women themselves have been primped through hours of professional hair and makeup before they are photographed with precise lighting and posing. These images are then reconstructed and manipulated through the technology of computer graphics and of "airbrushing" the women's imperfections. These women are not even ideal with their looks alone. The look is achieved with the aid of manipulation through posing, lighting, or through computers. .
             Pornography is a creation at reality yet is unreal in many ways. The sitting for many of these spreads are not particularized because the actors do not relate to their surroundings (Faust 29). It is the capture of one moment of a sexual act that is supposed to summarize all the pretenses to sexual arousal in that picture. There is no place for contraception or hygiene in this fantasy and an image of one moment is captured with no regards to the progress of sexual arousal.
