Pornography when searched on Google popped
up with 4,58,00,000 results and that
too in just whooping 0.27 seconds, well that’s the power of technology but without
digressing way too much I am not here to talk about the techno advancement
rather I am here to share my thoughts about “Pornography” one of the most
untouched burning topic of all time.
Though, pornography has not been a new kid on the block, it has been
here since decades now from the eras of the Romans, Greeks to our 21st
century only the medium for consuming it has been changing with time, like, in
earlier days the rulers, kings and queens used to watch their slaves performing
sexual activities amongst themselves so that the elite can get aroused but with
the changing time now we watch it on our laptops, cell phones etc. so the basic
idea has been same even Khajuraho temples in India depict sculptures in different sexual postures.
With the passage of time many technological developments have taken
place but people have meagerly grown they still have been stuck with the mere
idea of getting sexually aroused after seeing some explicit sexual content. Well,
its not them to be blamed for it's the tedious lifestyle which people have
started following now has left them with a very small amount of time for fulfilment of their own personal desires, thus with so less time left for themselves
have resulted in instant ecstasy moments further culminating in these readymade
libido moments.
Well, by watching these blue films (well lets just refer them as pornos,
as the earlier representation seems way too tawdry) one just creates a demand
for filmed prostitution as pornography is similar to Greek word pornographia, (pornē -"prostitute"
or "prostitution", and graphein "to illustrate”) thus
meaning "a written description or illustration of prostitutes or
prostitution", so thereby by creating such a demand it results in human
trafficking as prostitution has never been anybody’s dream it has always bred
out due to financial crisis, family troubles etc. Though, it seems to be an
easy way of getting remunerated but it has been part and parcel of hell other problems,
which ultimately result in guilt and trauma.
Porn has never been a medium of entertainment but
nowadays on the flipside it is turning into a major genre under which
entertainment falls. Though it has some side effects but it has continually
been rising up the charts. Even viewing of porn for twice a week starts killing
ones creativity and imagination; it starts acting like a slow poison eventually
obliterating personal fantasies and desires as what comes to mind when one gets
a chance to get involved with his/her desired person is all the crap seen in
pornos instead of your fancies involving kissing, touching, caressing.
In populous opinion personal thoughts involve much of
sensuality and mutuality as contrary to the sub ordinance of women shown in
these films, which though reflect the general hierarchical system of society.
But I seriously wonder what qualifies as sexually
pleasing in these films whether a boy choking a girl, or having brutal sex
without caring for his companion, or a women crying seems sexy or is it raping
a women considered sexually arousing, if it is so then God himself must be very
ashamed to learn about the fact that the men whom he created to love and care
women have started objectifying women as sex toys. Even we can find different
categories like Rape, Humiliation, Cry, Abuse and many more related with
distress of women on porn websites.
Everything we feed our mind tends to change us and our
mentality eventually, thus leading to rocketing number of cases especially in a
country like India where illiteracy forms a major chunk of the society, the
“Delhi Damini” rape case is a very apt example to this over dosage of bullshit
to our minds.
Nowadays, about 90% 12 years old through varied
accessible sources watch porn, which are addictive and paralyzing especially at
this tender age of puberty when a child’s whole world starts changing suddenly.
These movies are paralyzing because these limit ones mind and thinking, as these
don’t care about sensual, passionate, generous aspects of unison of two people.
The beauty of a teenage love story or of a healthy adult relationship have
started getting hampered by the predominant ideas of lust permeating through
these films in people’s mind as now people have ceased to share their views and
ideas about sex rather they just only see it, thus it is a kind of sexual
mutation that has been in action now.
Even girls have also not been left untouched by this
porn influenced culture as now not only the hard core porn but even the commercials
and music videos are being shot in such a way that it seems to be an alter ego
of porn just the difference being that it is cladded porn. By being affected by
such obscenity everywhere now teenagers have started thinking that if someone
has to be worthy of love then he/she need to be worthy of sexual desire thus
resulting in so many MMS scandals as now girls are ready to be video taped in
inappropriate situations risking their respect and dignity just for showing
that they are sexually desirable. Even if the boys misuse the video by
uploading them online or by selling it, the paradoxical nature of the society
comes to surface as always the girl who has been blamed, nobody addresses the
boy for moral conduct which ultimately results in distress, isolation for the
girl and her family, at times female victims of such cases end up committing
suicide. Thus, porn may have such fatal ramifications as well.
Pornography or Prostitution has never been and never
will be an embodiment of freedom of expression, freedom of occupation it has
always been an embodiment of sexual exploitation, human trafficking, pimping,
solicitation etc.
Sex Industry always chews people and spits them out
when one loses his/her perfect body shape with age, generally sex workers
doesn’t even make to age of 50 in countries where average life expectancy is
70-75 years. The major causes of death have been drugs, STD’s, being murdered
by the pimps or by their boy friends and lastly because of suicide caused due
to social death as no one prefers to go out with a prostitute thus causing
isolation. Well, whether be porn movies, brothels, hooking services or escorts
all of these form a whole spectrum of prostitution.
Well, what one should care
more is about mutual physical and emotional safe sex rather than subjugation.
One should care about bringing laughter together because if two souls can’t
laugh together then what good can grow between them sexually or non sexually.
As long as demand of such things continue supply
wouldn’t stop thus pushing hundreds of other innocent girls and children in the
pits of darkness where there is no hope of change. So, please stop being silent
as “Silence perpetuates more Silence” while talking brings awareness and thus a
Change.
PS: This is the video from where i took the idea and the bullet points ..
Your take on this is commendable.... Awareness is must!!! Objectification of women needs to be stopped... They cant be treated as toys for ones pleasure... They desreve a much high stature in our lives.... Its sad that the society wont understand this.. We can just hope that one day women would be treated like queens by everyone... Not just a meagre sex object!!!!
