Hypocrisy in Pornistan

Image
by Kelli Morgan They may call it the "Land of the Pure," but Pakistan turns out to be anything but. The Muslim country, which has banned content on at least 17 websites to block offensive and blasphemous material, is the world's leader in online searches for pornographic material, FoxNews.com has learned. “You won’t find strip clubs in Islamic countries. Most Islamic countries have certain dress codes,” said Gabriel Said Reynolds, professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Notre Dame. “It would be an irony if they haven’t shown the same vigilance to pornography.” So here's the irony: Google ranks Pakistan No. 1 in the world in searches for pornographic terms, outranking every other country in the world in searches per person for certain sex-related content. Pakistan is top dog in searches per-person for:  "horse sex" since 2004,  "donkey sex" since 2007, "rape pictures" between 2004 and 2009, "rape sex" since ...

"Just Arrogance and Ignorance..."

Image
Think our government and its overseers aren't becoming more narcissistic and self-absorbed? Fiddling with 'Rome' burns? (and if you or I did this - we'd be S.O.L.!) Then read this; your tax dollars HARD AT WORK: SEC porn peekers at work confess by Jim McElhatton U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission workers who made a habit of looking at pornography on their government computers, even as the economy was tanking, offered varying explanations when caught. "I think it was just arrogance and ignorance on my part," one worker said. "You know, I mean … I didn't intend to hurt anybody. I didn't intend to hurt the SEC's image or anything like that." The Washington Times reported in February on the existence of about two dozen such cases, which were detailed in reports to Congress as well as in more than 150 pages of case summaries obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. Additional pornography cases surfaced last week in a memo f...

The Objectification of Humanity

Image
The older I get, the more I realize that one of the big things I have missed a lot of in my life - is love. Not just the word but the feeling . The unconditional feeling. Oh, I have given it out aplenty and been slapped in the face with it. Part of it because I am a magnet for pathological types. I was raised by one so this makes unfortunate sense. When the Beatles said "the love you make is equal to the love you take" they didn't have me in mind. According to psychologist Ilan Shrira, narcissists are more likely to have a history of short-term sexual conquests compared to people who consider commitment the most important aspect of a relationship. "Narcissists have a heightened sense of sexuality, but they tend to view sex very differently than other people do," said Shrira. "They see sexuality more in terms of power, influence and as something daring, in contrast to people with low narcissistic qualities who associated sex more with caring and love....

The Porn Myth

Image
BY NAOMI WOLF In the end, porn doesn't whet men's appetites—it turns them off the real thing. At a benefit the other night, I saw Andrea Dworkin, the anti-porn activist most famous in the eighties for her conviction that opening the floodgates of pornography would lead men to see real women in sexually debased ways. If we did not limit pornography, she argued — before Internet technology made that prospect a technical impossibility — most men would come to objectify women as they objectified porn stars, and treat them accordingly. In a kind of domino theory, she predicted, rape and other kinds of sexual mayhem would surely follow. The feminist warrior looked gentle and almost frail. The world she had, Cassandra-like, warned us about so passionately was truly here: Porn is, as David Amsden says, the “wallpaper” of our lives now. So was she right or wrong? She was right about the warning, wrong about the outcome. As she foretold, pornography did breach the dike that separated a m...

Sex for Sale and the Men Who Buy It

Image
This book is about time! I just hope that law enforcement in North America will READ & HEED! from Abyss2Hope: The CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corp) News Sunday interview with Victor Malarek about his book " The Johns, Sex for Sale and the Men Who Buy It " highlights the dynamics of an industry, much of it run by organized crime. What he talks about has been talked about for years by women who are regularly dismissed as sex negative or prudes . Malarek rejects the notion that the prostitutes are the problem and holds men involved in any way (other than when they are prostituted) responsible instead. He rightfully points out that this industry is not about sexual needs, it is about power and control. This is what men are buying. Money gives them the feeling that they have the right to act out their need for power and control. When we understand this reality we can begin to focus on primary prevention of the harm done through sex trafficking, both international and domestic. It...

On Porn Addiction -- Through the Flame

Image
After my life was altered by a porn addict - I saw up close & personal the horrible effects of it on the psyche, one's empathy and the permanency of then seeing women as objects (even when they SAY different. I am left with PTSD and permanent scars on my psyche and sexuality. Get help if this is you or your partner - porn addiction is NOT normal. It is not "just something guys do." Life with a PA – the Dark Side of the Moon By FairyG We’ve just had yet another argument over his use of porn, and I don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m going insane with so many conflicting thoughts and emotions inside my head: anger, betrayal, love, compassion, self-loathing, fear, misery… will I lose my mind first, or my relationship? Why am I not good enough for him? How do I get him to hear me? How can he keep betraying me and not caring? I’ve tried to tell him so many times how I feel about it, hoping he might do something to change. How many arguments have we had about this? I’...

Mr. Cook - You ARE A Scumbag, Ms. Walters - You're a Media Whore

Cook - you're a destructive narcissist. And Ms. Walters, you're a whore for giving this s**tbag a platform for his blame shifting, gaslighting, revisionist history and his lame, baseless excuses for his pathology & sex addiction! Peter Cook Swears to Barbara Walters He's Not a ''Scum Bag Pervert'' Christie Brinkley's ex-husband Peter Cook sits down for his first interview since the nasty divorce trial that rocked headlines this past summer. Barbara Walters nabbed the exclusive for 20/20. While we have yet to see the full video, ABC News promises that Walters covers "what went wrong, his affair with a teenager and the $300,000 payout to her, his reported $3,000-a-month Internet pornography addiction and why he was willing to have his dirtiest secrets revealed in the fight over access to their children after the divorce." Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook reached an out-of-court settlement, but only after several days of trial testimony expos...
