Porn in the USA

(11/21/14 12:13pm)

I was recently interviewed for a study on pornography’s effects on young men. The questions ranged from my family background to which sections I liked the most on pornographic websites. I found some of the questions difficult to answer, as I feel my pornography viewing experience has been different from that of most men my age. I didn’t feel that pornography had negatively affected the way I view women. If anything, it’s made me think more deeply about sexual rights and freedoms.

I don’t like to talk about rape and sexual assault. It’s mostly because I feel I’ve never been given a good answer about what defines rape and sexual assault, and because I feel the law fails both men and women in this regard. All of the news I hear is about legislation, but I don’t understand why that seems to be the biggest issue. Perhaps if we spent less time discussing how to punish rapists, and more time discussing better ways to prevent rape from happening, we’d make a little more progress.

While tabling for my group, Alternative Sexualities at Duke, I had a conversation with a friend about sexual identity. “What is the purpose of your group?” they asked me, wondering what we covered that the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity did not. I told them that the purpose was to provide a safe space for people who identify as sex-positive, polyamorous or kinky to discuss their sexual orientation. They looked at me, confused. “Is that a sexual orientation?”
