Dr. Helen: Is Control over Porn Really about Control over Men’s Sexuality?
MEC, have you actually read any romance novels? I have, and a lot of the sex in them is stuff that would be considered rape if it happened in the real world — there’s a reason why they call them “bodice rippers”. But since the man in question is always a 28-year-old multigazillionaire with totally ripped abs, who is just dying to marry her and set her up so she’ll never have to lift a finger ever again, that makes it OK. Who’s being objectified here? BTW, I’m told the latest trend in these is that the heroine who is so passionately desired by the multigazillionaire is already pregnant with another man’s child.
