< Previous60 @BCAMS 2021 BCAMS MAGAZINE New Study Finds Porn Does Not Make Men Sexist Dr. Dan Miller, lecturer at the James Cook University, Aus- tralia, and his team surveyed more than 300 heterosexual men on their pornography habits and their attitude towards women. The media frequently promotes pornography as being as- sociated with sexist views, and same idea is mentioned in many academic speeches. Moreover, The International Cen- tre on Sexual Exploitation claims on their website endsex- ualexploitation.org, without any clear evidences or scientific studies, that “Pornography fosters aggression by normaliz- ing and depicting verbal and physical violence as enjoyable.” James Cook University researchers have found that por- nography use is not associated with sexist views among heterosexual men. “Research indicates that women in pornography are frequently depicted in degrading or ob- jectifying ways. So, it’s reasonable to assume that porn users may internalise the underlying sexism of this be- haviour and then apply it in real life,” said Dr Miller. He said that study found that higher overall pornography consumption was not associated with holding more sexist attitudes towards women. “Not only was there no link be- tween overall pornography use and sexism, use of violent and humiliating pornography specifically was also not asso- ciated with greater sexism,” said Dr Miller. Notably, Dr. Miller mentions the fact that men, who thought pornography as realistic in it’s depiction of sex and relation- ships, tend to have sexists views. “We have to keep in mind that this is just a correlational finding. It could be that think- ing porn is realistic promotes sexism, but it could also be that those who hold sexist attitudes are more likely to think porn is realistic, as it conforms to their worldviews,” said Dr Miller. The findings of the study were pretty complex and reflected also other older studies on the link between pornography use and sexism. Dr. Miller stated that the results of this survey are part of a growing body research tentatively suggesting that pornog- raphy use does not promote general sexism, at least for most men. The next steps of the study are to investigate if pornog-61 www.bcams.ro raphy promotes sexism among certain subgroups of men, for example, men pre- disposed to more misogynistic beliefs. In the Scientific American, the journalist Melinda Moyer, mentions several stud- ies that show moderate pornography consumption does not depict sexist be- haviour. The most common concern about pornography is that, indirectly, it can hurt women by encouraging sexism, raising sexual expectations and harming relationships. And some people might even worry that it can promote sexual vi- olence against women. The data, however, does not support these ideas, as there is no evidence that pornography does any- thing negative, and as Professor Milton Diamond (Pacific Centre for Sex and Soci- ety| University of Hawaii) says “It’s a moral issue, not a factual issue”.

The goal of our reviews is to make better-in- formed and more conscious decisions about technol- ogy through reliable, powerful, and trustworthy jour- nalism. This issue you find useful info about the top cameras in the livecam industry and the latest release -Pleasure Finder - the first ever sexual education Goo- gle Assistant. The first ever sexual education Google Assistant The best Webcams for Camming Models in 2021 next64 @BCAMS 2021 BCAMS MAGAZINE Pleasure Finder the first ever sexual education Google Assistant ”Hey Google, how do I improve my sex life?” Pleasure Finder - the first ever sexual education Google Assistant MysteryVibe goes beyond the vibra- tor and introduces Pleasure Find- er, world’s first Google Assistant ac- tion dedicated to helping people improve their sex lives, is now live for users to install on their phones, tab- lets and smart devices. The action helps users find out more about the health benefits of pleasure and open up about their sexual health - with- out fear of mockery or judgement. Firing up the action is as easy as tell- ing Google you want to talk to Pleasure Finder or structuring questions direct- ly by prefacing them with “Ask Plea- sure Finder.” It works for both smart speakers and displays, though the only benefit you get on the latter is the abil- ity to visually read back responses. It’s the first time a voice assistant has been able to offer advice around sex- ual health, sexual education and per- formance, and has been specifically designed to answer questions people want to ask about sexual health but are sometimes too afraid to ask their partner or a healthcare professional. The action was created with the help of Clare Bedford, a psychosexual and re- lationship therapist who worked with MysteryVibe’s Chief Medical Officer and world renowned urologist, Prof. Dasgupta, to ensure the ac tion offered meaningful advice. Just like you can ask Google to give you a recipe or tell you what the weather’s like, Pleasure Finder will tell users all they need to know about sex, health and pleasure - and some extra guid- ance when it comes to ensuring users and their partners both find pleasure in the bedroom. And it couldn’t be simpler to use: us- ers can just say to “Ok Google, let me speak to Pleasure Finder” and go from there. The action will outline all the dif- ferent forms of advice and help it can offer, ensuring everyone can get the sexual wellness advice they need. The action offers to “improve your sex life” with tips and answers to the bed- room’s biggest questions, like, “am I having enough sex?” and, “what are the health benefits of vibratory stim- ulation?” As such questions clarify, the app does include some “mature” con- tent, but it’s far from pornographic. 65 www.bcams.ro Questions are answered in an outright clinical way, without any slang, using precise medical terminology, and with no (intended) humor. That makes sense, as the action’s an- swers were written with the help of a both urologist and a psychosexual/relationship therapist. In fact, the developers claim the Pleasure Finder action was “rejected outright by another leading firm,” probably imply- ing Amazon didn’t want to deal with big scary sex questions in Alexa. (Google reached out to us following our original coverage to state that after review, the action does not vio- late its policies.) “Having the Pleasure Finder accepted by Google is an abso- lute triumph. Giving access to anyone who wants or needs a shame-free sexual education is what this campaign is all about. We want to help people open up when it comes to talking about sexual health, so we’re hoping that the Plea- sure Finder will be able to kick start a conversation and people talking about sex and pleasure and rediscovering the benefits they offer” said Prof. Dasgupta, CMO of Mys- teryVibe and urologist. “That’s the philosophy upon which MysteryVibe built their business - helping to set people free and give them a judge- ment-free space where they can genuinely open up about sexual health and wellbeing. After all, sex isn’t a taboo - it’s time to act like it.” IT & TECH “Just like you can ask Google to give you a recipe or tell you what the weather’s like, Pleasure Finder will tell users all they need to know about sex, health and pleasure - and some extra guidance when it comes to ensuring users and their partners both find plea- sure in the bedroom.” AUTHOR BCAMS66 @BCAMS 2021 BCAMS MAGAZINE Ready, Set, Cam!
