—At last someone speaking out against a subject which has concerned me increasingly in recent years. I am single and far from prudish but I have been horrified by the clear change in expectations regarding woman and sex in the last decade, both as a doctor hearing my colleagues’ stories of increasing numbers of young girls coming into A&E after violent anal rape at parties or other social venues (unheard of a decade ago), and also as a woman at how many (almost exclusively younger) men want you to be “a bit more porn” during sex. To any man thinking that a woman wants or enjoys having her face ejaculated onto, my advice is you try it first and we’ll see how you like it. All power to Gail Dines in the meantime!

Comment from a doctor, username Shocdoc, on that article. I thought it was worth reposting. I have watched with helpless horror and disbelief, from my perch of relative safety and security, over the last ten years as these changes have rapidly unfolded. :(

Yet another example of pornography creeping into our lives…and harming and even killing us. How many more women and girls must die or forever be physically and psychologically damaged by men’s love affair with porn?
