Researcher Claims Porn is 'Overly Demonised'

A University of Montreal researcher refutes demonization of pornography, insisting it is overly criticized and doesn't change men's perception of women and their relationships.

During the study, Simon Louis Lajeunesse, a postdoctoral student and professor at the School of Social Work recruited and interviewed 20 heterosexual male university students who consume pornography.

Radiographer Posed as Porn Star to Get Nurse's Nude Pics!
A Gold Coast radiographer, who created a fake identity by using photos of a female porn star, and tricked a nurse into sending him raunchy photos of herself, has been taken to court.

"The objective of my work is to observe the impact of pornography on the sexuality of men, and how it shapes their perception of men and women," said Lajeunesse.

"They shared their sexual history starting with their first contact with pornography, which was in early adolescence. Not one subject had a pathological sexuality. In fact, all of their sexual practices were quite conventional," he added.

Lajeunesse found that 90 percent of pornography is consumed on the Internet, while 10 percent comes from video stores.

Malaysian Sex Workers Rob Clients After Seducing Them With Porn Films
It has come to light that some sex workers in Malaysia are using porn films to distract clients and rob them off their belongings.

However, they quickly discard what they don't like and find offensive. As adults, they will continue to look for content in tune with their image of sexuality. They also rarely consume pornography as a couple and always choose what they watch.

The test subjects said they felt victimized by rhetoric demonizing pornography.

"Pornography hasn't changed their perception of women or their relationship which they all want as harmonious and fulfilling as possible," said Lajeunesse.

"Those who could not live out their fantasy in real life with their partner simply set aside the fantasy.

The fantasy is broken in the real world and men don't want their partner to look like a porn star," he added.

Lajeunesse refuted the perverse effect often attributed to pornography.

"Aggressors don't need pornography to be violent and addicts can be addicted to drugs, alcohol, gaming and asocial cases are pathological. If pornography had the impact that many claim it has, you would just have to show heterosexual films to a homosexual to change his sexual orientation," he added.
