Miscellaneous television commercials about porn.

Includes all videos about CP 80 Internet Channel Initiative. This is a solution to divide the Internet into channels, in order to make it optional to receive porn channels or not.

History of Pornography and the Porn Industry 10 Videos
Videos that contain information about the history of porn and the pornography industry.

These are videos concerning different Internet porn issues and solutions. They address peer-to-peer file-sharing technology, (P2P), Internet porn filtering, and other ways of separating out and/or dealing with pornography on the Internet.

Kicesie asks: "How do you define pornography?" ,"Do you think that porn can sometimes be good, therapeutic and healthy? If so, what qualities makes it such?","Do you that porn can sometimes be bad, harmful or unhealthy? If so, what qualities makes it such?" YouTubers answer her in videos and comments. Feel free to join in! :^)

Videos about Larry Flynt, Hustler magazine, & Hugh Hefner and Playboy magazine.

These videos are of men and boys who are against pornography and are speaking up and doing something about the porn problem. The videos demonstrate that not all guys are porn users, that not all guys are in favor of porn, and that some of them care enough about doing the right thing to speak out.

These are miscellaneous videos that address porn, the sex trade, and porn-related issues that don't fall neatly into any of the other specific categories. They mostly aren't anti-porn, just informational about porn, etc. I.e. "Real doll" videos. (Sex dolls). Some of these videos are actually pro-porn, but provide useful data for anyone studying porn and similar topics.

Videos about porn addiction, (or porn obsession/compulsion), and how it has harmed those addicted to/obsessed with pornography, as well as their families, loved ones, and others. (Of course that person's porn addiction has also harmed the people in the porn videos. This is because every time a porn video is being viewed and masturbated to, someone is taking pleasure in the objectification, exploitation and/or abuse of another person. This is a violation of someone's dignity and humanity.) This section also includes information about "sex addiction", etc.

All videos about celebrities appearing in any type of homemade or commercial porn, or any connection of pornography to celebrities.

Any videos that address the relationship between the pornography industry and technology.

Interviews with current porn stars such as Jenna Jameson, Belladonna, and Sasha Grey. Also interviews with ex-porn stars such as Shelley Lubben and others. They all reveal some important truths about the harms of the pornography industry. Also included are videos about porn stars that don't necessarily have interviews in them.

These are videos concerning free speech, First Amendment, and legal issues in regards to pornography. (Sometimes referred to with the legal term Obscenity, some forms of which are also referred to as Indecency, particularly when referring to television and radio broadcast regulations.)

All videos concerning porn and politics, politicians, political issues, etc. (For informational purposes. I do not necessarily agree or disagree with the content of these videos. They are just to let people know about the politicans, politics and issues.

These are videos of news stories done about porn, pornography-related issues, and sex-trade-related issues.

Videos that contain statistics about the porn industry and pornography use. Please note that in "Porn! A historical documentary", an incorrect statistic is given regarding condom use in porn. The correct data is that condoms are used in less than 1/3 of porn films. (17% as of 2004. See the article "The Adult Film Industry: Time to Regulate?" at http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=18 92037)

Pro-Porn Videos 9 Videos
These videos are generally pro-porn and are included in order for people to be able to examine both sides of the issues so that they have the full picture and can decide for themselves. They are also useful for anti-pornography activists to study to understand the pro-porn arguments so they know what they are up against and can formulate their own responses to the points the pro-porn people are making.

These are videos about prostitution and prostituted women, girls, and children. Pornography is nothing more than filmed prostitution, and often the two are interconnected, with those who are prostituted in the usual manner being used for pornography, and those who are pornography performers sometimes engaging in typical prostitution on the side.

These videos are about the importance of protecting children from pornography on the Internet and various ways of doing so.

These are videos about how women, girls and children are forced or trafficked into prostitution or sex slavery, either for the use of local Johns or for "sex tourists". (Who are usually well-to-do white males from Western nations, who are also often married.)

These are videos from the "To Catch a Predator" series on NBC's Dateline show. Also included are other videos about sex predators. They are relevant as most predators use some form of pornography while interacting with their victims.

These are videos made either by the "adult industry", or about the "adult industry". They include video taken at the events such as the AVN awards, the Erotica L.A. porn convention, etc. They are not specifically anti-porn or against pornography in any way, however they can be useful for anti-pornography activists to study and learn about the industry.

These are videos on how male identity and masculinity are constructed in our society. They include videos of how boys are socialized into viewing and treating girls and women as objects that exist for their viewing and sexual pleasure. Also included are videos that address how "manhood" has often come to mean being tough, violent, and without empathy for the feelings of others.

These are videos about the rampant amount of sexism and sexist portrayals of girls and women in current media. (Such as commercials, magazine ads, billboards, TV shows, etc.) They include videos addressing the harmful effects of sexist and exploitive media on our society in general, but particularly on girls and women.

These are videos that address what "pornography" is, and how it is defined by different people in our society and other societies. The current definition I use is PORNOGRAPHY: Material that combines sex and/or the exposure of genitals with abuse or degradation in a manner that appears to endorse, condone, or encourage such behavior. Note contrast with EROTICA: Sexually suggestive or arousing material that is free of sexism, racism, and homophobia, and respectful of all human beings and animals portrayed. (Definitions from DianaRussell.com.)

These are videos about feminism, respect for women, equality of women, how women are treated in the world, etc. Not necessarily anything to do with pornography or the sex trade, but just about the reality of being a woman in this world.

Videos that address women's involvement with pornography in ways other than performing in it, such as using it, making it as a director or a producer, or selling, endorsing, or promoting it.

These are videos specifically about the problem of pornography being posted on YouTube, how some people are against it, and about their efforts to deal with it. Note: Any video that contains inappropriate content can be flagged by any user. Examples of inappropriate content are: 1) sexually explicit, 2) mature (over 18 only) content, 3) graphic violence, 4) hate speech, 5) other terms of use violation. YouTube promises to deal with reports within 48 hours. You can also join the "Against Porn Videos Group" here: http://www.youtube.com/group/PornVideosSuck

Former Porn Star Jersey Jaxin on Why She Quit Porn and How Abusive the Industry Is Towards Women

Please click on the triangle "play" icon in the middle of the picture below to hear why Jersey very recently quit porn, how harmful to one's health the porn industry can be, and how dehumanizing and degrading the industry is.




Part 2:



As you can hear in the interview, another former porn star, Shelley Lubben, is kindly working very hard to help Jersey. Below is an excerpt of what Shelley writes about Jersey on her website. Following that is an excerpt of their interview.

*********************************************************

"I met Jersey Jaxin about two months ago through Myspace and she allowed me to come and spend time with her and listen to her story. She spoke about many things from her sexual abuse from her father to the abuse she went through in the porn.

Much of her life can be summed up in one word: ABUSE.

She made me cry during our meeting quite a bit but especially when I asked her what she did in her off time when she wasn't doing porn and she replied, "I hold my roommate and we just cry".

(Please click on "Read More!" below for the rest.)

************************************************

That TOTALLY messed me up... Two months later this precious woman calls me and says, "Guess what Shelley, I've left porn for good!"

I want you all to hear and know the truth from the very mouths of the women who make porn. I want you to know that there IS NO FANTASY in porn and that women suffer abuse EVERY SINGLE DAY!

She wants you to know that Jersey Jaxin is now dead and that her real name is Tanya and that it's time for Tanya to be the person she was meant to be. She even cleaned up her myspace to show her fans and all of us that she is serious and is never going back to porn. Please visit her myspace and leave her encouraging comments... This will... give her strength to rebuild her life. I am so thankful for all of you... Just look at how well Sierra Sinn and Becca Brat are doing and YOU have something to do with that!

I want to give Tanya some relief from the many years of suffering she has endured. She has only known pain and abuse since she was a little girl and now I want all of us to reach out to her. She is moving to another state where there are mainly Super Walmarts. If you would like to help Tanya as she begins her new life please send Walmart cards to my PMB Box and I will forward everything I receive to her as soon as I receive them from you.

Let's keep helping the porn stars rebuild their lives! YOU are making a HUGE difference in the lives of women by your giving.

Tanya already sends a BIG THANK YOU to us for your support and love as she courageously rebuilds her new life.

You can send the Walmart cards here to my post mail box at:

Shelley Lubben
PMB Box 33
6077 Coffee Rd 4
Bakersfield, Calif. 93308

Or if you'd like to help in some other way please visit my web site here.

Thank you SO MUCH for caring about the porn stars! Love, Shelley"


***************************************************************

Here's a partial transcript of Shelley's talk with Jersey.

Shelley: "I hear you left porn. What's going on?"

Jersey: "I'm just tired of the industry. The way that they treat as though we are just a piece of meat. That we don't have a mind and our body is everybody's and we have no soul."

Shelley: "Did something happen that made you say, 'That's it! I'm done.'"

Jersey: "Someone I thought was my friend chose money over me and tried to get my fiance to leave me by offering him double pay. I've completely had it. I can't deal with it anymore... I want everything in my relationship to be only me and him."

Shelley: "You told me some pretty scary things about the porn industry."

Jersey: "Guys punching you in the face. You have semen... Twenty or thirty guys all over your face, in your eyes. You get ripped. Your insides can come out of you. It's never ending. Your viewed as an object not as a human with a spirit. People don't care. People do drugs because they can't deal with the way they're being treated."

Shelley: "What percentage of porn people use drugs?"

Jersey: "Seventy five percent and rising. Have to numb themselves... There are specific doctors in this industry if you go in for a common cold, they'll give you vicodin, viagra, anything you want because all they care about is money. You are a number. You're bruised. You have black eyes. You're ripped. You're torn. You have your insides coming out of you. It's not pretty and foofoo on set. You get hurt."

"The main thing going around now is crystal meth, cocaine and heroin. ...You have to numb yourself to go on set. The more you work, the more you have to numb yourself. The more you become addicted, the more your personal life is nothing but drugs... Your whole life becomes nothing but porn."

"I was a drinker. I drank a lot. Vodka was my drug. Vodka was my numbing toy. Before sets, after sets, and if it was a set where people didn't care, they'd have it there waiting."

Shelley: "Do pornographers provide drugs?"

Jersey: "Some of them do. Some of them do it in front of you. I used to have a problem with cocaine that I overcame. It's hard when they're putting it in front of you and saying, 'Do this.'"

Shelley: "Talk about some of the degradation the women have to go through."

Jersey: "You may see a 45-minute set that took us 13 hours. ...We're ripped, we're tired, we're sored, we're bleeding, we're cut up, we have dried semen all over our faces from numerous guys and we can't wash it off because they want to take pictures. You have this stuff all over you and they're telling you, 'Hold it!'"

"You can say anything you want [stop or pain etc] and they don't listen. There's the ultimate thing where you squeeze their leg to ease up and most of them don't care. They have another scene to go to. It's all about the money. They've forgotten who they are and they don't care who they're hurting."

"I'm on the road right now heading to a different life. I'm going to try to make it as a normal person because I'm done."

"You have no soul in the porn industry."

Blog Status Update and New Anti-Pornography YouTube Channel

Greetings to all visitors! :^)

I would just like to clarify that this blog is not yet officially launched or announced. (But hopefully it will be in the next few weeks.) I still have a lot of basic establishment work to do on it before it's ready for an official debut, as well as revisions of all the posts.

However in the meantime you are all welcome to check out all the posts in their rough draft form, and of course watch any of the more than 100 anti-pornography videos here. (Please don't forget to read the instructions on the sidebar! :^))

The majority of the videos are now also able to be seen here at my new Anti-Pornography YouTube Channel. It too is still in a rough "not yet officially launched" state, (I am still learning how to edit and upload my videos properly), but there is a lot of useful information there to keep anyone busy for quite a while. :^) Note: All the videos are organized by category for easy locating here at my "Playlists".

The videos in the sidebar of this blog that are longer than 10 minutes are not able to be put at my YouTube Channel, (they are Google Videos), so if you want to view them they should be seen here.

Enjoy!

APA, :^)

More Information about the CP80 Internet Porn Solution (& 4 Videos)

For those who are interested in more information about the CP80 Internet Pornography Solution, please watch the below videos. (Note: CP80 stands for Channel Port 80 Internet Channel Initiative. It is a solution to blocking out pornographic content on one's computer that would be optional, should it become available, in the same way that using a filter to block out pornography is optional. It would not be imposed on anyone, and would only be used by those who would want to take advantage of it. Please see full information here at CP80.org.)

To play a video please just click on the arrow in the middle of it.

Traffic Control: The People's War on Internet Porn (2:36 minutes)




Solution to the Problem of Internet Pornography (3:13 minutes)





How kids can get around Internet filters (:31 seconds)





Another video about how kids can get around Internet filters. (:31 seconds)





Two other videos about the ineffectiveness of filters are here at YouTube.com.

Please note that in no way does the CP80 Internet Channel Initiative infringe on anyone’s free speech or First Amendment rights. Nor does it interfere with anyone’s rights to receive any sort of information via the Internet that they might wish to access. It is a solution that is optional for those that might like to take advantage of it. Please see full information about this issue and what you can do to help here at CP80.org, and at the website for the DVD "Traffic Control: The People's War on Internet Porn", here.

Thank You!

Anti-Pornography Civil Rights Legislation, Obscenity Law, & CP80 Internet Regulation

Just to make a clarification for those visitors who might be interested, this blog and I are both 100% in favor of anti-pornography civil rights legislation that addresses the harm pornography does to women, as described in this Wikipedia article here. Information about Obscenity Law is provided on this blog so that people will know what the current situation is in regards to the law and pornography.

Personally I hope that some activists are willing to do the work that it will require in order to get anti-pornography civil rights legislation passed. (Which is why I suggested it on the 101 Things You Can Do To Combat the Harms of Pornography list.) However, if this were not to come about because no one chooses to pursue it, and Obscenity Law is all that is going to exist regarding pornography, my hope is that the law would be updated to reflect the current reality of our society including the Internet, etc., and that it would also include something that would address the harm of pornography to women.

That would certainly be a better situation than the way things are now, with the extremely outdated Obscenity Law that neither addresses factors like the Internet, nor anything relating to how women are harmed by pornography.

Regarding regulation of the Internet by Channel Port 80 legislation, (see here for more info, as well as the videos on the sidebar), that legislation would not restrict anyone's freedom of speech or expression. It would merely allow people to choose to allow pornographic content or not on their computer.

"The solution is simple. Categorize and organize all Internet content using the existing and available ports which will allow users to access what they want and avoid what they don't want. This solution creates a space for those who value the freedom and who want to avoid unwanted intrusions into their businesses, homes, and minds."

"The Internet Channel Initiative preserves the access to all forms of content to the consumer who chooses both the Community Ports and the Open Ports. In addition, this initiative creates a choice for those consumers who wish to receive only the Community Ports. Under either scenario, the Internet experience is determined by the consumer."

"The CP80 Internet Channel Initiative is a combination of technology and law that will allow Internet users the option of choosing to receive all Internet ports or only those ports that are free of pornographic content. The technology will categorize content into ranges of Internet ports so consumers can choose selected port packages, much like the options for cable television."

"Internet users who do not want pornographic content simply notify their Internet Service Provider (ISP), such as Comcast, AOL or Yahoo, that they want only "Community Ports" service. Internet users who take no action will continue to receive all Internet ports (both the "Community" and "Open" ports), just as they always have. Because the pornographic content is not served on Community Ports in the first place, parents and employers do not have to worry about filtering it out on their own computers. This is both a more economical and a more effective approach."

"Because the CP80 initiative allows for individual choice, the ICPA balances the First Amendment and the compelling governmental interests in regulating Internet pornography, including protecting children. Unlike Congress' previous attempts, the ICPA can survive Supreme Court strict scrutiny. View prior attempts to legislate Internet pornography. "

*************************

Please see CP80 page on Legislative Solution here for more information on the above.

If anyone has any specific reasons about why or how such legislation would interfere with anyone's civil rights or freedom of speech, or why they would be against such legislation, I would be very interested to hear whatever points you might like to make. Please feel free to comment respectfully below.

Thank you very much,
