Why do some people claim that women are objectified, in pornography?
As if pornography shows the man in a positive light. He is just a disembodied wiener. Is that not objectification?

HAHAHA - but sometimes those wieners are stunning! So yeah, we objectify too. And it’s all good.

I don’t mind porn. Hell, if it gives my man some ideas for us then I’m all for it!

I agree; the man is the object! They usually show the whole woman, including her face. The man is not shown as much.

Yeah, Playboy is full of disembodied wieners.
Hot dog!

The people are props. The sex is the point. The people are only there because they are necessary to the portrayal of the act of sex.

They are not being objectified, it is just that the scope of pornography is related only to their capacity of sex and physical attractiveness. Any more than a memoir is objectifying the writer by only focusing on their intellectual prowess. The medium only has the scope to take in certain attributes of the people involved. Nothing can project them all at once without being a disjointed and boring narrative.

It’s because pornography reduces men and women — but mostly women — to one aspect of their existence, namely sex. Are people in porn movies thinking, feeling people? No, they’re just sex-obsessed animals. So while animals aren’t technically "objects," they’re not human either.

The problem with objectification is its limited notion as depicted in pornography. It is the voyeur subjected in consumerism; it is the voyeur as consumable, not the people creating the pornographic product. Performers are usually investors, not merely wage earners and continue to receive residuals from their investment.

Haha I think those women sign up to be objectified and I think pornography has gotten quite gross. Like hairless creatures with bleach blonde hair and breast implants… eck it’s just weird!
