Porn Owns You: Problems with Online Pornography
By Robert Jensen
(Remarks to the 2010 “Heroes and Healthy Families Conference,” New Bern , NC .]By Robert Jensen
Mention “problems with online pornography” and many men will agree that it's frustrating when porn videos take a long time to load on the computer.
So, I assume that many of you are asking, “What's the problem with pornography?” After all, it's just sex, and people have been having sex for a long time. It's just a movie, and you don't need to take it so seriously. Nobody forces the women to make porn, and they're getting paid. And besides, I have right to look at what I want to look at. I mean, it's not like porn causes rape.
What's the big deal?
My task in the next half hour is to explain that porn is a big deal and that we should be concerned about men's use of pornography.
