PERSONNALY I LOVED PORNO AND I BOUGHT LOTS OF IT ALL THE TIME"

People flock to see serial killers dismembering students and hitchhikers in big budget Hollywood films but it'd be insane to claim that all, or even most, audience members took the violence seriously and would like to see it reproduced in real life.
Movies are widely accepted as escapism and I think many men feel the same way about porn: it's a world where the women are young and hot and willing (or old and saggy or hairy or fat or whatever) and everyone goes home happy; again, fantasy.
Of course there is a difference between a woman (or man) being filmed having actual sex and a person being pretend-murdered in a movie - but they all remain actors 'playing a role' and adults who've chosen to work in these jobs.
Yes, a lot of porn goes far beyond the 'norm' - in both heterosexual and gay and lesbian porn - but that is the nature of fantasy; we're aroused by things we'd never openly admit in public, we keep them as thoughts or we act them out in the privacy of our homes with a consenting, adult partner.Many women have extremely explicit, violent, bizarre and, I daresay, misandric sexual fantasies; taboo subjects and acts are not purely a masculine province.
