What Does Pornography Have In Common With The French Delicacy Foie Gras and Chinese Shark Fin Soup?

Pleasure! Consumption of either of them gives pleasure to the consumer. While foie gras and shark fin soup delights the consumer’s taste bud, pornography – sexual lust. Like foie gras and shark fin soup, pornography has its fair share of ‘behind-the-scene’ horrors and cruelty which unfortunately goes unnoticed by its consumers.

The inhumane treatment – force feeding on goose/duck for foie gras and shark finning for shark fin are well-known and acknowledged by many as unethical and sadistic. The porn industry is no different but how inhumane can it be when two consenting adults agrees to perform sexual act in front of the camera for money especially when both seems to be enjoying and having lots of fun out of it?

The porn industry wants and is very good at making you believe that two consenting adult is having a great time having sex together enjoying each other body in front of the camera. The moaning and orgasm seems genuine. Moreover female porn performer convincingly confirms that they enjoy doing what they do in interviews.

However that is far from being the truth! Thanks to ex-porn performers like Shelley Lubben who has come forward to expose the ugly truth of what goes on behind-the-scene of a porn set, you will soon find out that pornography is a lie. A BIG LIE!

Nothing is real in pornography – from laughing and giggling when caressing the body to giving a passionate and enthusiastic oral all the way to a climatic anal orgasm is nothing but a well-choreographed sequential sexual act design to fool you into thinking the porn performers, female in particular enjoys the sex. For the record almost all of the sexual acts you see on screen are not enjoyable at all. It is painful to perform even for a simple oral scene where the female performer is often gagged causing extreme discomfort to the throat, possible jaw cramps and even breathing difficulty. Anal scene is always a painful ordeal the female performer has to endure and often resulting in anal prolapsing – a severe condition where the internal organs are pushed out through the anal. If you can handle it Goggle image search to have an idea what anal prolapsing is like. Meanwhile vaginal and anal tear are very common in abusive hardcore gangbang scene as the orifice is forcefully penetrated by 2 men. Not only do female performer have to endure these physical abuses in a scene they are also degraded and humiliated with insults, semen swallowing, etc. Does all these sounds enjoyable to you?

What is shocking to know is most female performers reluctantly performed these hardcore scenes mentioned earlier. It is quite the norm in the porn industry to made changes halfway through the shoot to include sexual act like anal, anal-to-mouth (ATM), etc that the female performer didn’t agree to perform in the first place. If she chooses not to continue with the scene she will not be paid a single cent. Moreover she will also be blacklisted whereby she will have difficulty in securing future job in the porn industry. Hence most will reluctantly agree to perform to finish the scene just to save their rice bowl. The emotional stress the female performers goes through when forced into such situation is simply overwhelming which I can relate to as I was put in a somewhat similar position 5 months ago while on a business trip to Saudi Arabia. I was pull aside by one of the custom officer in Riyadh airport who tried to coaxed me into letting him has his way with my anus. I declined and by the grace of God was free to go unharmed. It is really a big relief that he didn’t force himself on me. It may sound funny and even amusing to some of you but the whole experience was rather traumatic to me. It is something that no one should ever go through. Hence under these circumstances is more of a violation to the female performer’s rights rather than consent to perform.

Sexually-transmitted-diseases (STD) is very common amongst porn performers and they are constantly expose to STD as they are forbidden to use condom because the industry believes condom in porn is a big turn-off to the consumers resulting in less DVD sales and downloads impacting the industry bottom line. So it is either they shoot the scene without protection or get blacklisted! Moreover the monthly Adult Industry Medicine (AIM) test for STD gives a false impression that it is “safe” for porn performers to work in the industry. With the majority of porn performers also working as escorts the once in a month screening does little to prevent the spread of STD. Even used dirty sex toys were hardly clean and this really shows how much the industry cares for the performer’s wellbeing. It is not surprising then 70% of total female performers are infected with STD. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes and syphilis are very common. Google image search on any of those diseases mentioned will definitely freak you out.

By now I’m confident that you are disgusted with how porn performers, female in particular are being mistreated in the porn industry, would you then cease consumption of pornographic materials and send a strong message to the porn industry that you do not condone their unethical treatment towards women? Or continue to indulge yourself in porn? If we can have empathy towards animals and stop consuming foie gras and shark fin soup, I strongly believe we too can stop consuming pornographic materials.
