Cyberporn and society reflection

This class is not what I signed up for.  However I found it to be more than I ever expected.  I have never opened my eyes to the porn industry until now, although porn has been in my life for over11 years.  Never have I paid attention to how closely technology and pornography are interrelated.  The future of certain technologies revolves around the porn industry.  You would have never convinced me of that before this class that is for sure.

 

Another eye opener was the idea of gay-for-pay.  Never has it crossed my mind, but I understand why men in this business are turning towards the idea.  How else can they keep up with the women and their incomes?  Although a little disturbing to hear that these "non gay" men are going home to their families at night.  Transmitting a disease to a wife or another family member is unacceptable.  That is if the man is even telling his wife that he is resorting to this type of film for income or pure pleasure for that matter.

 

Lastly, I am glad to see topics covered such as obscenity laws and indecency laws as well.  Not many people, including myself sometimes, know where to cross the line with all the regulations on posting/sharing files containing explicit materials.  The thin grey line is there but seeing it is that hard part.
