A Women.s View on

The Positive Benefits

Of Pornography.

While there are many women who oppose pornography because they think it

degrades and demeans women, I believe that there are many women who approve of

pornography due to the many positive benefits it has for them such as providing

sexual curiosity opportunities and improving couples sexual relationships.

In this paper I am going to discuss how women benefit from pornography

through satisfying their sexual curiosity and how pornography can help stimulate

a sexual relationship. I want you to be prepared because some of this material

may be a little sensitive in some areas due to the descriptions that I use.

You would think that defining a word such as pornography would be a simple

task, but it is not. There were a number of sources that I found in which they

defined the word pornography as some sort of violent and unjustified sexually

explicit material. This was generally the case whenever I found an article that

was against pornography. I also came across meanings that were not quite as

harsh as that definition, it basically indicated that pornography was the use of

sexually explicit material. Unfortunately, there is no universal definition for

the word pornography because everyone has there own ideas in their head of what

they think it means. For the purpose of this paper we will use the definition

that is stated in the New Lexicon Webster.s Encyclopedic Dictionary of the New

English Language, it defines pornography as

.Obscene literature, photographs, paintings, etc., intended to cause sexual

excitement.(1992).

I want you to keep in mind that the word .obscene. is a descriptive word

that is also defined by each individual differently.

This paper as you might have guess is on a very sensitive and controversial

topic that some might find hard to deal with, but I found it very useful. It

allowed me a vast array of topics to choose from, not to mention some very

interesting reading. As I sat back and tried to decide what to research, I went

through several options. I am a big fan of freedom of speech, which is one of

the biggest issues in pornography today, but this issue is overly discussed. The

same thing with child pornography, I agree that this is a big problem also, but

I wanted something deeper. Finally it came to me, I am a viewer of porn

(pornography for short) materials and I completely support the use of it, but do

other women enjoy and benefit from pornography like I do. At first thought you

might want to say to yourself could a women possibly enjoy watching a women give

oral sex to a married man or is there really benefits of seeing a man ejaculate

on the breast of other women. In my research I found that there are plenty of

women who do enjoy and even benefit from pornography.

A big question that I ran across was not necessarily if women like

pornography, but how many like it. Dr. Wendy Stock of the Pacific Graduate

School in Palo Alto conducted a study on undergraduate women. Stock wanted to

find out how women felt when they watched pornographic material, the responses

varied . 66% of the women.came away .curious. about pornography, 46%

said that they were amused by it, and 33%.were intrigued.(1994). Seeing that

curiosity was at 66% it made me want to dig deeper and find out what could be so

curios about this. I know from a personal point of view that when I first viewed

pornographic material I was curious as to what it might be about, but I have

found in my research that the curiosity goes beyond this, leading to both

emotional and personal pleasure. Wendy McElroy former president of the Feminist

for Free Expression contends .pornography is a great leveler of shame.(1995)

and I agree. I think that there are so many things that women get so sexually

upset about. Nadine Strossen, a law professor at New York Law School, agrees

that using masturbation is deemed wrong in today.s society. Strossen says .there

are so many women who need [pornography].lets think about women who.s

husbands are on a business trip, lonely women, even widowed women. For them to

see other women, even an actresses, bringing sexual pleasure to herself helps to

ease the shame of wanting to fill the desired need she was to touch her own body

sexually, in the safety of her own home.(1995). What about the emotional

aspect of pornography, emotions go extremely deep in people. To be able to

fantasies about something is completely natural after all don.t your fantasies

bring up emotions in you. I can not count how many times I have sat back and

imagined that I would win the lottery and each time I do it gives me a very

elated feeling. I have also sat back and had sexual fantasies of my own. When I

think about my sexual fantasies, they gives me a soft tickling sensation betwee
