Abstract

Nor will you learn anything much from Burke about the actual content of porn, although after sifting through studies, she concludes that 21st-century porn is more violent than earlier porn, and that the victims of that violence are disproportionately people from marginalized groups. The problem, they themselves acknowledge, is that the "feminist" and "ethical" porn produced by porn progressives ends up as just another niche category on porn sites, jostling for views with "anal" and "Asian." The "sex positive" approach, born of concern about dating and sexual violence, encourages "porn literacy" rather than avoidance, guiding parents in discussing the difference between real sex and porn sex with their teens.
