Between pornography and sex education has a long and unequal relationship: any information about sex and contraception was suppressed by legal norms of responsibility for indecent behavior, around which it helped design exploiting the topic of sex films as a study. Sex education is always in the partnership suffers stronger — its either banned, or used as cover. The latest incarnation of the latter was launched last weekend video Pornhub “sexual health center”.
By the way, don’t even try to Google. Despite the much-publicized launch of the project and a high level of search engine optimization that places Pornhub first in the list of results on request “porn”, search type “sex education Pornhub” offers the results like “Teacher-latina with big Tits giving a lesson of sex education watch online”. And Sexual health centre no link not even on the first page.
Still, I think that Pornhub is something completely wrong. Disadvantages, however, are obvious. The section on the female reproductive anatomy, for example, informs us that the clitoris is the “female erogenous button” and declares that it is “similar to the glans penis”. Actually it is not so: the clitoris is like an iceberg, is largely below the surface. Oddly enough, the records of the male anatomy does not say that the penis is like the clitoris. The male body is somehow by default is a kingly position, and the female is a kind of deviation.
The descriptions from Pornhub, men sometimes erection and sexual organs of women wet, “allowing the penis (or toy) to get inside to receive pleasure.” This, again, is obviously a sexist point of view on biology, which is based on stereotypes about male activity and female passivity. Horny penis too moistened, releasing a lubricating fluid, and the female clitoris when the excitation increases due to the blood flow. This stops the writer Emily Nagoski in his book “How a woman wants”: “Why do we say that the man ‘stands up’ and the woman ‘wet between the legs’, although from the point of view of biology and male and female genitals and swell and get moist? It’s… a cultural phenomenon….”
So, Pornhub is not very well versed in anatomy, but maybe it’s better from the point of view of the moral side of communication. Another article informs the readers about the necessity of affirmative consent, rightly stressing that “man has full right at any time to say NO” and calling to pay attention to non-verbal signals of refusal. It says that “obedience is not the same as consent”, and that is admirable. It’s a shame that this advice is contrary to the main deyatelnosti YouTube. In 2015, James Dean porn actor accused of rape, harassment and sexual assaulting 11 women colleagues. (These accusations, he denied, and court proceedings was not followed). Video with his participation, in which women are “whores” who need to “destroy” and “punish”, not explicitly focus on the distinction between consent and submission. And they are shared on Pornhub.
Sexual health centre is not a charitable act by Pornhub. While the main site is an full variety of “holes” a dark place, the Center is more like “clean and well lit room” that writer Emily Witt has identified as exemplary Dating site, positive for women: this is a place for those who usually do not attend Pornhub, helping to get used to the idea that you can go in there still possible. In appearance the child site there is nothing that should not have to see the curious readers-teenagers.
If Pornhub and benefits of sex education for their own PR, it is only because the niche it has long remained completely open. Sex education in British schools is neither compulsory nor comprehensive (and in America the situation is even more depressing): issues like LGBT relationships, recognizing violence and understanding consent are considered too controversial for educational programs, and fills the gap porn.
In one study of the Committee on the rights and freedoms of women, about 60% of young people said that the first time I saw porn before the age of 14 years. In the absence of adequate sex education, the basic guideline of sexual culture becomes porn. It forms certain beliefs about the behavior of men and women — presentations that make fun of a woman in something secondary for the pleasure of men.
To allow pornography to become a synonym for sex is negligence of public duty, but we have what we have: in a world where 29% of girls say at school touched them against their will, Schoolgirls regularly hear in your address words of a pornographic nature type “slut” and “whore.” Support mercenary Commerce can not replace a Frank and thorough approach to matters of sex and informed consent in school education. But while politicians, teachers and parents are not active and do not implement their duty to guard the interests of adolescents, the presence of “brilliant ideas” like the Sexual health centre, Pornhub, unfortunately, inevitable.
