Annabel Chong had a dream, a dream to liberate women from crushing slut stereotypes. She viewed women as cursed by the “easy women” label for having more than 10 partners, Annabel thought that if she could push the amount of sex partners a slut has had, it would bring in thousands of women lost in the loose girls hinterlands. She wanted to reposition the promiscuous female, recasting “the slut” as “the stud.” Her quest was captured on the wonderfully named, World’s Biggest Gang Bang. A porn title that would go on to become the highest selling XXX movie and spark the creation of a documentary of her struggle, Sex: The Annabel Chong Story (nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance).
But she wasn’t always the feminist crusader, Chong (Real name Grace Quek) was born 1972 in Singapore one of the strictest places to live in the world (they don’t even allow chewing gum, the Nazis)! A gifted student she finished high school in Singapore in the top percent of her class and went to America to study law. Needing some extra money she interviewed at a model agency run by one John T. Bone (The name sadly is real). She joined the agency either because she was intrigued by the money, or was maybe overcome by Bone’s boyish charms. Whatever the reason, she became an adult film star and soon bone had her in such classics as Sgt. Pecker’s Lonely Hearts Club Gangbang and I Can’t Believe I Did the Whole Team (A tear jerker I’m sure). Chong justified her new found stardom by telling her friends she was blurring the boundary between pornography and performance art. It was at this point that she decided to move from performance art to the next step, women’s activism.

So embarking on her self sacrificing crusade she set about creating and starring in the world’s largest gangbang. When it was all over the final tally was 251 sex acts with 70 different men over a period of 10 hours (The last man was porn legend Ron Jeremy). It should have been the happy ending that everyone wanted. Chong would liberate women by becoming the ultimate slut through the sacrifice of her body and the porn world would get a best selling title. Everybody would join hands in a mutually satisfying circle jerk of good karma.
However as revealed in the movie her gangbang didn’t exactly start a numbers revolution, she didn’t liberate the sluts, the producers behind the movie ripped her off, and to top it all off the success of the movie sparked a whole gangbang genre that exploited rather than advanced women’s rights. As a guy who likes naked hot bodies as much as the next guy you want to believe that porn is something more than the wholesale exploitation of women. That women are somehow empowering themselves by using their bodies how they see fit, which is what women fought for in the first place no? Using your body how you want without society exiling you in shame is what any true feminist will tell you is their goal. Yet as the documentary shows the porn world is set up to exploit. Chong’s odyssey couldn’t have been planned better to display porn, and Chong’s lofty if naive goals, as further degrading women everywhere.

Heart-warming…
The reason porn degrades women is because so many people think porn is degrading, when really it can be a perfectly respectable career. I blame twisted religious “values”, immature childish attitudes towards sex as being “naughty and bad”, and people who love to poke fingers at others to feel better about themselves.
I do agree with some of your points here… although I have to point out that Men often has their own unrealistic ideals of what they’d like to see in women. Women is just as much a offender in this too as well.
Take women’s ideals for example. Nearly all romance bodice ripping novels are basically nothing but porn neatly disguised as a “love story”. And in it, the men are almost objectified as much as the women in men’s porn, although to a much different degree. The men in those stories are not only described in deep detail when it comes to their bodies, but they also have characteristics that no real man would have. Why? because some women have this pure ideal of what the perfect man would be like, and that man does not exist in reality.
The best part? if those romance novels were turned into actual porn with real porn actors, you would get male actors complaining that they’re being made to do things that no real men would ever want to do… unless they were really gay or super some super sissy pretending to be macho. A real man might feel forced to do those actions and then feel degraded. They would have to be paid a lot in order to put up with the bullshit.
Now you’re probably wondering where I’m going with this. I’m about to bring up the degradation of women in men’s porn. basically the reason why so many women think it’s degrading, is because like women when it comes to that unrealistic fantasy man, Men has this unrealistic fantasy woman too, and this fantasy woman just happens to do a lot of nasty, dirty things that no real woman would ever want to do, unless she was Super, super kinky as hell.
A lot of woman don’t enjoy having their hair pulled and then being called every derogatory name (such as Slut, whore, bitch) that ever existed in bed. only a few actually enjoy this.
They also don’t enjoy taking it up the ass without much lube, because the inner anus is WAY MORE SENSITIVE than their vaginas and can tear easily! Now as a woman I actually love ass-play and anal… but I’ve also had some bad experiences with men who actually thought you could just shove it in there and ride it hard, like they do in porn. and that whole cum facial thing? more than half of the time, it’ll get into your eyes, and sting hardcore because you almost got no warning when he shot his load. and having it get stuck in your hair is almost as bad…. actually will take you three washings in order to get it all out!
I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Porn is highly unrealistic…. and while it’s good for giving you some ideas on how to spice up your own sex life, it shouldn’t be used as a guideline. Otherwise women are never going to stay open minded and only see the porn business as a place where women are made to do things that they actually don’t enjoy for a shitload of money. They never give anal or anything else a chance because on some level, they instinctively know that it would hurt like fuck if everyone did it like how they did it in porn! If they were shown a realistic depiction of how Anal sex actually is, they might give it a shot.
seconded, endless repetition is boring, I like looking at people that seem to be having a good time. Both of them. I like sluts too, as long as they seem to honestly be having a good.. damn. time.
Generally most women in the industry will never make a “shit load” of money. They make so-so money, that is wrapped up and packaged to seem like a lot but it’s not. And women are kinky. I have been with one or two, and over the years it has never ceased to amaze me; the things women want but have so much trouble asking for. Just like everything else in human relationships sexuality between two people comes down the to nature of their rapport.
yeah, true. however you have to keep in mind that many women have different tastes when it comes to things that they are willing to or are not willing to do. Take me, I don’t mind ass play, even anal sex…. I enjoy it a lot. but I know a lot of women who doesn’t enjoy that notion, and will think it’s gross. there are plenty of men who has different varying levels of kinks, too. and I suspect that there are things that men would find gross, that some women might be into. also, generally speaking Men seem to be simulated more visually, while women like to be simulated mentally and emotionally. of course not all of women or men are like this, but for the most part that’s why men and women have different ideas about what would make the perfect porn, although a lot of their wishes and kinks will occasionally cross over with each other.
So men’s porn… well, a lot of it seems to involve just jumping into the scene without much background, foreplay or any of that stuff. So women see the men just randomly jumping random women and getting it on. That’s enough to arouse a man instantly, but for women they want a little more than that. They want a fantasy built up, some foreplay etc. they see the typical porn and just feels that it lacks a lot of things.
Google Women’s porn, and see if you can see some differences between what men and women might find sexy. 🙂
My first interaction with porn was coming home from a summer trip (I was four)and seeing it on the television, thanks dad, I still don’t remember any of it, but my parents do. I guess I was stuck there staring at the television as my parents freaked out and scrambled to shut it off. This followed by my dad and mom fighting because she came home from the trip with me early.
Then there was always the huge shelf of porn in black vhs cases. Later in the sixth grade the shed full of playboys one of my friends found and would always be looking at. Then the other friend whos mom worked at a porno store. My friend would drag me there all the time to borrow money from his mom and I would just set there staring at the giant jar full of dick shaped erasers. Seriously who buys dick shaped erasers?
I could go on and on but it really just gets weird past this point. Oh and yes a very surprising amount of women watch porn. Many of them seem more obsessed than a hormone crazed teen male.
I think every man want’s a whore in the bedroom, and a Princess the rest of the time. I know I did. I got an early start in life with a one in a million, extremely high paying job right out of High School. I spent the next four years traveling and screwing as many women as I could. My job was two weeks on, two weeks off each month, left me plenty of time to spend my money. Believe it or not, it got old. Other than a few minutes of pleasure from sex, there was no connection. Of course, the women I wasn’t interested in chased me forever trying to get closer to me, but I kept them all at arms length. I would actually LOOK for a reason I didn’t like a certain woman. I finally decided I wanted to find the perfect woman for myself, settle down, and have children. The supposed “good” life that most men long for, isn’t that “good” after a certain amount of time doing it. You find yourself longing for a soulmate to be standing beside you when you are witnessing something awe inspiring. It’s just to fantastic a sight to see, or a thing to do, to not have someone special to share it with. One thing was certain in my search for a permanent mate. NO virgins allowed! Sex is too important to a long, satisfying life together to take a chance on a women whom you haven’t tried for compatibility in bed! I finally found my woman. She was my best friends cast off. I first asked his permission to pursue her, got it, and asked her out. Eight months later we were married. I saw in her a woman of absolute loyalty, wasn’t needy or clingy, fiercely independent, had no problem with being left alone when I needed to get away for a while, even if it was for weeks. She was open to anything I wanted to do in bed, everything I was searching for. She isn’t perfect, that doesn’t exist. You both have to make accomodations to live with each other over the years. Also, you WILL change as you get older, both of you. You have to be willing to accomodate that also. You will be sorely tried during your marriage, to seek the greener grass…. But I don’t think “greener grass” truly exists in the long run. You made a promise to be loyal. And that supercedes all else in my opinion. I am fiercely loyal to my family and close friends, and I demand the same from them. Fuck up, you’re history. The Old Lady and I have been married for 35 years now. I can’t even imagine living without her. She didn’t really want children, but after 10 years of marriage, she saw how important it was to me to have children, and blessed me with two perfect kids. She was, and is, a fantastic Mom too! The kids are gone now, and for me, a feeling of great loss with their passing into adulthood. I dedicated 22 years each to them. Sacrificing everything I had to in order to ensure they had a good, interesting, fun, life. With all that I knew to teach them in order to give them a leg up on the competition. We succeeded. They are both hard working, moral, successful people now. I consider it my greatest achievement in life. I can die a happy man now.
That is one hell of a comment.
