Are rape fantasies/porn wrong?

The issue popped into my head because I went to a link a friend sent me for a porn site (of the homosexual variety).

I was rather impressed, the guys are very hot, sporty, 18 or 19 and they **** each other without condoms. So far so good. The sex is the kind of angry sex you typically see in straight porn, but I can forgive that because the talent is so attractive and quite obviously enjoying themselves.

But I came to a video where these two frat guys (appear to) slip a roofie into another guy's drink, and he pretends to be passed out while they go for it. This seemed a bit messed up, though I read in the adult industry media that apparently the guy was fine and it was an act. It provoked a number of "hot or not?" articles about whether this is okay.

I don't mind porn being a little rough, but it probably crosses a line when they are simulating drugging someone etc. What do you think?

Some people are into that kind of ****, it's not causing any harm so I don't see the problem with it. The porn industry is always trying to find new ways to reach out to its audience, the evergrowing catergories list on porn websites proves this. I believe the video you watched would classify as a rough/hardcore video. Bukkake is also another controversial category, often deemed as being degrading towards women. However, it doesn't cause any harm, and there is a demand for it.

I'd say that rape porn is certainly strange, but so are most of the niche markets out there.. It doesn't mean that someone is going to copy what they see are create more rapists as you've said, this is a flimsy argument against it.

I'm sure if the porn in question was heterosexual though you'd be faced with a lot more posters condeming its existence

For me it depends if it makes the watcher less or more likely to commit such acts themselves. A tough one to be fair

I'm of the belief that some people might indeed by affected by it, but these are the kind of people who commit mass shootings, etc. I'd compare it to GTA 5, I steal cars and murder innocent civilians on that game but I think it fairly unlikely I will do this in real life. Is rape more objectionable than murder?

The only problem I can foresee is that the proliferation of such movies will make it difficult to ascertain whether a movie is a simulation or an actual instance of rape.

I think porn is damaging to your brain, for these reasons, It makes you lust for more pleasure, so you look for more pleasure and desensitize from real life experiences. It also creates people to be wary about genital sizes, or their body types because the media of porn portrays a certain imagine for both men and the women

Regarding not sure if the movies are real rape or not, do you think many real rapists would post their rape online? Surely the porn industry is better regulated than thay with signatures etc?

As long as the girl is enjoying it and it's part of what she's signed up for.

Good point, you're probably right; it would be ludicrous to film and then publish online evidence of your crime. I suppose it's a bit like snuff movies (there are many such putative films but, according to wikipedia, no real movie has ever been found by police).

I do think that the broader genre becoming much more prevalent (whenever I watch straight porn, it seems like almost all of it is kinda rough these days) and I think gay porn is heading in that direction. I can't say if this is a problem, I don't want to be a moral hysteric. Is the market responding to consumer demand or is the adult industry leading consumer tastes?

I genuinely would say at the moment it is leading consumer tastes. Which I suppose is because a lot of guys might get their ideas from porn and a lot of girls might be willing to be dominated, which is of course significantly different to rape. Some guys of course never try it even though they see it.

I would say that rape porn is still pretty rare but porn in general is becoming a lot more violent, or male dominant, where proving how masculine you shown by just bang a really hot woman, you have to be physically dominant over her too. It would be interesting to see how much it actually has made society change how it actually conducts sex, but the problem is when anyone addresses it it isn't ever on facts its done more on hysteria (like video games and links to violence)

I agree, I do wonder whether people's expectations of what sex should be like is changing as a result of the very dominant and hardcore style of modern pornography

I suspect that it will mean more couples will explore these kinds of fantasies, the only hitch being that I don't think such videos convey the distinction between rough sex fantasies (being very verbal, holding your partner down, taking control etc) and actually being rough (I really wince when I see someone gagging in such videos, I doubt many women want to experience that). Most people who do fantasise about this don't actually want to be hurt, so I would hope that consumers don't take it as a how-to guide and then try it out on their partner

As long as the girl is enjoying it and it's part of what she's signed up for. There's a particular oral sex website where you can tell the girls are receiving more than they signed up for.

I love the whole idea of a girl being really slutty in bed for her boyfriend. But it's not for everyone.
