Is Porn Healthy?

Many female Porn Stars say that porn really empowers them and makes them feel in control of themselves and the situation that they are in. But do the viewers see it that way? Is typical porn healthy for young adolescent men to watch? Is it healthy for young women to watch? What is it teaching the future leaders of the world?

A lot of "regular" porn features young skinny white women being dominated or submissive to/by slightly older white men. The sex that is in porn isn't really the type of sex that is had by ACTUAL NORMAL people. It's amped up, edited, everything is airbrushed and smooth, and all the women look "perfect". Thats not real sex. Porn is teaching a lot of people, especially men, as to what sex is "supposed" to look like. When men grow up watching porn and expect exactly what he see's in the videos, they start to expect that with real women. This becomes very problematic because it's creating these unrealistic expectations for real women to fulfill, but they're impossible to!! Not all women will be able to fit into a XS sexy lingerie piece, even at their fittest! And when women realize that men expect these impossible goals to be met, it makes women feel like they aren't doing what they're supposed to be, which isn't true at all!

There are some sites that might refer to themselves as "feminist" porn, or something along those lines. There are definitely some sites that attempt to be seen as feminist and aren't owned privately and not by large companies just trying to make load of money. SuicideGirls.com is a website that shows different types of women (or they at least try to) with piercings and tattoos and fun different styles of hair. But the problem is that SuicideGirls is still run by men. And so is a lot of porn is still filmed and directed by men, therefore the only porn out there to be seen is the porn that men want to watch.
