started with famous HBO’s series Sex and the City (1998-2004) which normalized casual sex and popularized sex toys and vibrators for an entire generation of women. According to Report Buyer, by 2024 the global sexual wellness market (including above mentioned sex toys) is projected to grow to $39bn.

Sex and the City

We can see the highest demand in countries like the US, China, the UK, Japan, and Germany, that comes hand by hand with increase in online sales (particularly, via Amazon). On the surface it looks like women have become more liberated and empowered but many authors and scientists insist it contributes to sexism.

Young women who engaging in sexual relations in 2020 are expected to be savvy in a variety of sexual behaviors and practices, hold their partner’s orgasm in higher regard than their own and even enhance their desirability to men by faking they can reach it quickly and efficiently. Global hit that popularized BDSM Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) is another example of the “mainstreaming” of sex, in other words, on how sexual imageries previously considered obscene became norm in within media culture.

In her book “Mainstreaming Sex: The Sexualisation of Western Culture” (2009) Prof of Cultural studies in Middlesex University Feona Attwood analyzes this curious Western phenomena. Read more about Feona and her research. 

According to BBC, the couples who don’t live together can now meet up for sex after changes to the coronavirus restrictions in England – but casual sex is still banned. Read more.

Believe it or not but the porn on the Internet is as old as the Internet itself. Pornographers are responsible for many early innovations in internet marketing (such as subscriptions and pop up ads) and female entrepreneurs were among the most successful in the adult business.

Danni Ashe

One of these women, a stripper named Danni Ashe learned HTML on vacation and in July 1995 launched her own fan site Danni.com (also known as Danni’s Hard Drive) charging $15 a month for access. Hours later after her site was launched the volume of traffic it received had overloaded the servers causing the system shutdown.

Before long, Ashe was making $2.5 million a year and reportedly using more bandwidth than all of Central America.

 
Danielle Ashe (real name Leah Manzari) was born in Beaufort, South Carolina, the United States on January 16, 1968. Her naturally large 32FF tits contributed to her popularity as an adult performer. Fun fact: Ashe is the only woman in the world who appeared on the cover of both the Wall Street Journal and Juggs magazine and earned the status of “the most downloaded woman on the Internet”.

By 2001, Danni’s website was estimated to be worth US$30 million. By 2003, she had 50 full-time employees, a studio in Los Angeles and Arena magazine ranked her fourth among the “50 Most Powerful People in Porn” list. Ashe was making a million dollars a year and also acting as an industry advocate: she testified before a government panel regarding “Marketing Adult Materials Online” In March 2000, and in 2004, Ashe was featured as herself on the HBO documentary,

Danni’s Hard Drive was sold in 2004 and then again in 2006 to Penthouse Media Group Inc for $3 million.

Daily Mail lawsuit:
In September 2013, Ashe filed a defamation lawsuit against the newspaper Daily Mail Online seeking US$3 million in damages. Daily Mail used her image to illustrate an article about an HIV-positive female performer. In January 2017 the parties had settled out of court.

Order Cuckoldry circa 1815 French Satire

First, let’s deal with the terminology. A cuckold is the husband of an adulterous wife or a husband who chooses to accept and watch his wife participate in any sexual activity with another man. A cuckoldress is a woman who cuckolds her “cuck” husband. The word cuckold is English and goes back to Medieval times, the 13th-century literature and has its origin in the word “cuckoo bird”. A cuckquean is the gender-opposite of a cuckold, meaning a wife of an adulterous man. “The female equivalent cuckquean first appears in English literature in 1562, adding a female suffix to the cuck.” (Wikipedia). A woman that a cuckquean is cheated with is called a “cuckcake.”

In evolutionary biology, the terms cuckold and cuckquean are also applied to males and females who are investing in the parental effort (sometimes unwittingly) in offspring that are not genetically their own.

Just like male cucks, there’s a lot of variety in how & why women chose to be cuckqueans or cuckoldresses but generally getting pregnant by a stranger and/or the “raising another’s offspring” aspect rarely comes into play. There are the masochistic cuckolds who will enjoy the humiliation and the alpha cuckolds who will control the process, same for some women it has a lot to do with feeling inferior & humiliated, while for others, it’s enjoying seeing their partner get pleasure, or having the sexual power and control in relationships.

Cuckold porn emerged from BDSM pornography and quickly became a big market, especially the BBC Cuckolding fetish.
Some may complain that popular sites like Blacked.com exploit the racist ideas of black guys having extremely huge dicks, and that it’s somehow taboo for a white woman to fuck a black guy but interracial cuckold porn is highly demanded and viewed on Pornhub and elsewhere.

Canadian sexologist, neuroscientist, and Playboy columnist Dr Debra Soh received her doctorate from York University in Toronto but left the academic research field to become a journalist and debunk the myths about the science of human sexuality and gender, and censorship in academia: she is worried about the misuse of science for political purposes and writes a lot of non-fiction, feminism-gender stuff about her concerns.

This book is a valuable, research-based and timely-written work on complex issues of sex and gender in the Anglo-Saxon world. While not supporting the conservative views on sex and gender identity, armed by science and facts the author also opposes extreme gender activists.

In the mainstream film industry, unsimulated sex is when the actors engage in an actual sex act. Notable examples include: Emmanuelle (1974), Caligula (1979), Baise-moi (2000), the majority of these films are European made as at one time in the USA such scenes were restricted by law. The difference between these movies and pornography is the intent (which is not solely pornographic).

1. THE BROWN BUNNY (2003, USA)

The Brown Bunny – experimental minimalist road drama by Vincent Gallo, featuring a scene of fellatio. Vincent Gallo plays Bud Clay, a motorcycle driver travelling across America for a race haunted by memories and flashback of his ex-lover Daisy (Chloë Sevigny).

2. BAISE-MOI (2000, France)

The virtually non-existent plot (the film basically moves from sex-murder to sex-murder), explicit sex scenes, brutal acts of violence and depictions of drug use make Baise-moi (2000) a very controversial movie. This is an impressive experimental piece of work about society’s injustice in the adult version of Thelma & Louise, with lots of violence and sex on the screen. Not a movie for everyone, Baise-Moi sets us thinking about female empowerment or… ugliness in the sake of ugliness. Starring Karen Lancaume.

God have mercy for I have sinned! This funny Family Guy episode raises an important question, about the potential consequences of pornography for the social outcomes and if there’s a link between pornography use and religion?
There is little research investigating the subject, but this study conducted in the U.S. demonstrates that the increase in Internet pornography consumption is “negatively related to religious service attendance, importance of faith, prayer frequency, and closeness to God, while positively related to religious doubts“.

Other curious facts:

• 1. While Abrahamic religions condemn porn as a sin equal to adultery, Taoism and Hinduism are famous for their erotic arts and books about sex.
• 2. People with strong religious beliefs are more often identify themselves as addicted to pornography, but they consider themselves happier and are at lower risk for drug and alcohol problems.
