Porn is a multi-billion dollar industry that grows upon showing extreme sexual content in a number of ways. However, although many people in the world express negative views towards porn, it's obvious that it recieves enough viewing and reception to carry on as being lucritive. People hate on porn but are to embarrased to admit to watching it. Whether you hate it or love it, you have to watch it in order to have an arguement and opinion. Sexuality gains the attention of the whole world whether by positive or negative means. This could only benefit the industry and media. As porn attracts a wide-spread audience overall, sexual appeals to any type of content does the same. I'm getting at the fact that sex has a comfortable place now. Advertisements for the most wholesome material and things, is sold in a suggestive manner. Commercials are becoming more crude. Graphic images are disregarded as extreme, where as just some years ago it would have made popular controversy. Let's now get started with music. A song by Chris Brown called "make a movie", reffering to filming sexual acts in relation to a porno, easily makes it to normal mainstream music and radio enjoyed by kids as young as 10! The video greatly resembles the acts of a porno not to mention the content of the lyrics:
Not to say porn started the explicit lyrics and sexy music video theme of the rap culture, but if porn exist, why shouldn't this content? The issue is that this is accessible to youth, porn less so.What's interesting is that mainstream media has grown within the last 20 years in content, as the porn industry has grown in accumulating profit. With the headquarters in Los Angeles, and over 200 production companies in that general region, over 13 billion dollars is made in an annual year. By 2002, the growth of strip clubs and pornographic films grew, a revenue of 3.1 billion and revenue was added to the average compensation. So how big should we expect the porn industry to grow by 2020? Will porn literally exist everywhere and will it have a blatant impact on how we view ourselves and what's important? As for the media, the promotion style of clothing, cars, and jewlery, has switched over to women over time. Music videos and song names now resemble those of Porn films such as "We Don't love hoes" or "Two Bad Bitches". It's all revolved around portraying women as objects rather than people:
