This is an incredible debate featuring a lot of people trying to make a definite conclusion with apparently no research or information to back anything up.
Helping people "fantasize" about beating up women while fucking them is not healthy in my opinion, in precisely the same way it's not healthy for someone to look at child porn... It unfortunately can lead to this sort of fantasy getting more addictive for the viewer. But the question is also; Why are people wanting to see it in the first place?
This isn't so-called "fictionalized rape" which has long been illegal - even in the US (presumably because 1) how can you be SURE it's not real, if it looks real? and 2) it's glamorizing violent crime while involving real acts). The new sort of "gonzo" porn that's tried to loop-hole this law involves abusing women instead: Strangling them, spitting on them, hitting them; while they're being fucked.
(If this didn't involve sex, would it be any more acceptable??)
WHY does anyone enjoy this type of porn?? Even major porn stars have become shocked at the amount of abuse that some of these women are subjected to.
With some sites, the more real the woman's distress (looks of pain, tears, throwing up etc), the better the "porn".
Again, I have to ask; how can anyone find this sort of thing a turn on? And how can it be a "good" thing that this sort of thing is available for those who want to see it? Like child pornography, it's not a healthy interest, IMO, and, also, it has nothing to do with "fiction" when the abuse is very real.
It's hard to argue that it's "fictionalized" when you're watching a woman give a blow job, then suddenly the man takes his dick out and slaps her across the face very hard (hard enough to elicit a shocked/tearful reaction). Puts his dick back into her mouth and forces it down her throat, even though she's apparently in discomfort at this point, gagging, until she literally throws up. He then fucks her mouth harder saying, "ah, lubricant!". My guess is that she's not enjoying it so much anymore, and unfortunately, this is just the beginning of the humiliation "porn".
Such porn likes to make it clear that these women are not enjoying themselves - they pride themselves on it - which is supposed to be the turn on. There are accounts from the women who have worked on such things (it's the internet, afterall, everyone has a blog), and they're not good, even if they've stayed in the industry afterwards. Some well known stars have even ended up in hospital (damaged cervixes, damaged entrails, etc).
This leads to the very real feeling these women are simply being exploited: They sign up for a quick buck, get physically threatened that they MUST finish the scene they've signed up for or they'll "get a bad rep in the industry and never work again" (as one documentary caught on camera). Unfortunately many of these women are very vulnerable (they've just embarked on a career selling their bodies - that should give you a clue that they're not always in a great place, mentally) and so it's not impossible to coerce them into doing something.
I don't think there's any law in place to protect these women, either.
I'm sorry to say that it's something I wish wasn't so prevalent, and it's my (and others in the industries hope) that people will get bored of seeing something "extreme" and move onto something else instead.
