Because it's demeaning and meant to meant to be degrading.  Women are often depicted in positions like that of animals with their private parts exposed, or as children or mere objects.  Very often they are portrayed in violently suggestive situations, like with someone pointing a knife at their genitals, or tied up with ropes.

It's very much like the old Mistrel shows where blacks were put up on stage in humiliating skits with costumes and makeup to exaggerate their african features, while the crowd would leer and jeer and make fun of them.

It takes the most vulnerable expression of love and turns it into a mockery.

Very well said.  I can't say I really [b]hate [/b]porn, but I do feel that it's demeaning to women in general.  Btw, is there male porn?  I'm not talking about the sort where the woman is the main focus.  [b]I mean like if the male is shown in the same type of situations that women are often shown in.  [/b]If so, how do you men feel about that?

I believe there is alot of male on male and or gay porn these days and yes they are shown in the same types of situations.

So the theory of it jst demeaning women doesn't really hold water anymore.

But the intended audience of gay porn is men, right?

At least you admit it's demeaning.

Original Message And isn't Mills and Boon a kind of sleazy porn anyway.

Now whats their tag line...

Mills & Boon - Pure Reading Pleasure.

I think that is meant to be suggestive, which is just what soft porn is.

Anyone actually agree?

Here's a suggestive banana...
