You Don't Say

One critic's assessment of mainstream porn:

It's nasty, misogynistic, anatomically improbable, hideously normative of deviance ..., narrow-minded, narratively impoverished and unspeakably dull.

That you, Andrea Dworkin? Or you, James Dobson?

Actually, it's Michael Bywater in the New Humanist, the magazine for freethinkers.

Actually, with the exception of the "hideously normative of deviance" bit, I agree with Bywater.

The only reason I disagree with that bit is that I think deviance should be pretty normative. It's that whole variety=spice thing.

Squirting is "the new thing" in pornography? What year was this written? Jesus.

Not to mention the fact that pornhub.com *does not produce any content whatsoever*. It just hosts stuff that people upload. I mean, sure, I don't expect your average joe to know the difference, but at least apply some due goddamned diligence to this, Bywater.
