Annotation4: Delete his (D:) or not?

Source:http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/12918531

After my annotation3 which is about an american live show expressed their opinion about the difference between porn sex and real sex, here is another poll which researched by BBC. They surveyed 1,057 adults ages 18-24 about what kind of media they used when they were in touch with porn. And also revealed some data different from men and women.

According to the investigation, people who used free websites as an adult material most. Free websites were by far the most popular way of getting hold of adult material, followed by file-sharing networks, mobile phones and TV. Because pornography is easy to get everywhere now, for example, within a second there will be hundreds of videos, that's why people spend so much time on there because they think 'maybe there will be a better one' and they keep going and going. Just like Ian Barber, 22, from Manchester, who said, "Anyone who pays for porn these days needs their head checking because there is so much free porn out there."

Another result of research, almost eight out of 10 men said they had looked at porn on the internet compared with just over a third of women. The average man in the study spent more than two hours a week surfing adult sites, compared with less than fifteen minutes for the average woman. And a quarter of all men in the survey said they were worried about the amount of porn they were looking at, while almost as many said they were concerned about the type of images they were viewing.

And this kind of rate would really cause some influence.
1.Higher numbers of those heavy users said their porn viewing had upset a partner or caused them to miss a meeting at work.
2.Men looking at porn for at least 10 hours a week were also more likely to say it can put them off real-life sex.
3.Sixty-one per cent agreed it could make you less interested in sex with a partner, compared with 27 per cent of moderate users and 24 per cent of light users.


Although pornography in Europe is freer than America, like a red-light district, but this kind of freedom will cause some effect in younger or society.

My third source is a video which I found on YouTube, after I typed "adult video" as my key word. This video wanted to express the difference between porn sex and real sex by using some vegetables like cucumbers, papayas, and bananas to replace some sexual scenes of adult video which compare with reality life. And it was so popular that about ten million
people had watched that.

The Huff Post, which has a live show, disgust some hot issues and has a channel on YouTube. Inspired by the video, HuffPost Live spoke to women working in the porn industry, and asked them to share their thoughts about the difference between porn sex and real sex.

In the video, they invited two women to express their opinions. First is Jincey Lumpkin, Chief Sexy Officer of Juicy Pink Box, mentioned that most scenes in adult videos made by posturing for the camera, flattering angles and cutting together of the scenes. All of them, if reenacted by normal people, can "take away sometimes from the pleasure and enjoyment aspect" of their sexual experiences.

Second guest is Nina Hartley, an adult video actress, also agreed that it is very different between porn sex and real sex. "Pornography is a paid, professional performance by actors. It is a fantasy, it is not meant to be a rulebook and guidebook or a how to as a general rule. And it goes to show how poor our sex education is in this country that people are reduced to looking at an entertainment medium for information about the body", she replied to the host.

So I think women and men will hopefully realize that they don't have to force themselves to emulate what they see in porn films. Fantasy is great, but the reality of sex based on one's own desires and separate from the pressure to look or act with a certain way can be even better.

Transcription 2:Delete his (D:) or not?

Eva:
Hi, our topic is Delete his (D:) or not? It's about adult video. I'm Eva, and she is Vicky. I can't accept my lover to watch adult video. Although someone will think adult video is just an entertainment, like girls go shopping to spend their time. But in fact, I think watching adult video must bring some bad influence. So in my opinion, I do really care so just delete. And these are the reason why I can't support this issue.

Although we know adult video is just a commodity, if you keep watching, it will cause an addiction, so it will make you couldn't tell reality from the fantasy. And next may influence you and your lover, like ignore your lover just like keep going watch adult video and didn't want to date with your lover. Adult video is just a drama, easy to say, it is fake, so it may express wrong information about sex. Finally it will influence your life.


I want to talk about the situation of people who watched adult video in Taiwan. According to the search from Taipei Woman Rescue Foundation, the frequency of watching adult video in Taiwan is the highest rate in the world. But most of people in Taiwan were not be satisfied with their sex life. Here, this is Taiwan, and this is America, and last one is Europe. Just look at it. So I think watching adult video would really affect people and their lovers, of course not just in their sexual life. And this form is talk about people who watch adult video more, would cause over illusion in their life easier. Like this one, if you walking on the road, and saw sexy woman or handsome boy, you will watch their bottom first, and more want to have sex with them.


And next I will show a video to you guys, it is about the difference between porn sex and real sex. This video is very famous in YouTube, you guys all saw that they used vegetables and fruits to replace some sexual scene. And I want to show you another video, is HuffPost, they saw that video and they inspired by the video, and they spoke to woman who worked in porn industry and asked them to share what's the difference between porn sex and real sex. Here's the first woman, she called Jincey, and she is a sex officer in some sexual website. And second woman, she is a adult video actress in America, she is very famous, too. So, the host will asked her the question. After saw these two videos, I want to tell you my conclusion. Number one, would rather say no than pretend to accept it. Because some girls will say "I can accept my boyfriend to watch adult video but don't show me or you can see adult video but I can't watch together with you". But one day, if you go home, and you opened the door, and you saw this scene, you might be embarrassed. That's means you are not really don't care. So I think you can just talked to your lover and told him to delete adult video. And second is should spend more time with your lover. Last one is don't let adult video to become you two problem. Next one is Vicky.


Vicky:
Hi, I am Vicky, and I am standing on the supporting side of this issue. When talking about adult video, people in Taiwan always put a negative tag on it. Just like it is dirty, it is not a right thing or it will do nothing right for the teenagers. But, why is so serious about it? There are some reasons that people said why they watch adult videos. The first is that they need to vent their physiological needs. Because for men who have girlfriends, it is not always the proper time for them when they have a need. Maybe their girlfriends didn’t feel well. Second, because they are bored. They just watch it as a film. And they may are curiosity, adding desire and consuming.

I will show two examples about the couples who said that they accept their lovers watch adult videos. First, you can see on the top of the PowerPoint is Cool Dad and Cool Mom. They have married for more than twenty years and have children. They said that they believe watch adult videos could promote their feelings in their relationship. When their son turned to teenager, they also let their son to watch adult videos. Because they think that instead of forbidding their son to it, they would rather let him watch and discuss with them and tell him the difference between reality and the truth. The couple under the PowerPoint is the younger, Mia and Echo. In the interview, Echo, the man, said that sometimes his needs are too frequent, so he would download the adult videos beforehand, and he would watch them when Mia was not at home or Mia was taking a shower. Because he thought that his needs are too frequent, it is a problem for him. He always needs it, his girlfriend would feel tired. They would also watch adult videos together to promote their feeling in their relationship.

I will show you an interesting photo. The words on it said that ”Porn movie and Disney are responsible for the most frustrated human being I know. ” The girl said that where the hell is my prince charming? The boy said that where the hell is my insatiable whore? It is interesting to compare Disney and adult videos. Because in our minds, Disney is about fairy tale for children to read or watch. But, exactly, if people are too addicted to them, no matter is Disney or adult videos, it will also influence their real lives, even is Disney. Because the girl may think that she would just stay at home and her prince would come and save her. So, it is on the same balance. If people are too addicted to something, it will lead to the same ending; it would influence your life, not just the adult videos.


If we have to talk about the influence, then how about these exciting movies? As we call 爽片in Chinese. Like Seediq Bale, if people watch it, maybe when they see Nod, they would want to cut off Nod’s head. Transformers, it is full of fighting and the Fast and Furious, it is talking about driving fast and dangerous, and people would think it is a cool thing to drive fast, or you would have girlfriend if you drive fast. So I think that it is not an influence for adult videos. If you have to say this, the exciting movies on the movie theater would also have these influences. 


Q&A

Eric:
Hi, I want to ask Eva. I love your videos and your ppt's structure. But I'm sensitive a little bit about sexual discrimination, because all the ppt give me a a feeling that is always be man will watch adult videos. I want to ask your opinion about that.

Eva:
When I write my annotation 1 or 2 or 3, there always someone, I don't know who, always leave a message like yours, why is not girls watching adult video. But I found my information on website, one comment I saw that is most of adult video is just really for man, so I just take most part of this situation, maybe I can use why woman watch adult video this kind of situation to write my annotation 4, thank you.

Knot:
I think compare to Eva's presentation, your presentation is also funny but not as active as Eva's, you guys are all really great but I think Eva is more shiny powerpoint, and yours like a good powerpoint, but is just a good powerpoint. I think the way Eva use video is great, and when she cut it very properly, it won't slowly down the path, you can ask her.

Cassie:
I think both of your powerpoint are clearly, but sometime your voice are too fast for us to understand. For Eva, you sometime talked too fast and for Vicky, I think sometimes your voice is too murky for me, sometimes you just combine the words together. Thank you.

Niki:
I think Vicky's point is more convince, compare to Eva's.

Tony:
Because we think Eva point out many ideas, but Vicky all defense her points well. And she mentioned clearly. And we think Vicky seems convince us more.

Joanne:
I think it is convincing. Because I think Eva’s part is from the perspective of male. But I also think many females watch porn videos. You said the different from the real sex and the video sex. But the video sex is different, is like a fantasy. Everyone want to watch the big one, (I don’t know how to say), I think it is not a bad thing.

Annotation2-revised:Delete his (D:) or not?

Source1:台灣女性看A片幻想帥哥光溜溜 男生只想做愛

After finished our presentation last week, I tried to find more sources to prove my suggestion. This time is not only the source which on academic research, but about public's opinion. So I found something interesting information on the Internet.

I found a news which said there is a group called Taipei Women's Rescue Foundation was going to have a survey. This organization wanted to know the mind of people who watched adult videos, so they asked for "adult-video volunteer" first, of course the volunteers were anonymous, and their job was watching adult video together, and then filled out the questionnaire. After their coordination, they convened a press conference, and showed the results about "The Situation of People Who Watched Adult Videos in Taiwan" and "Transnational Report about Watching Adult Videos". 
According to the data, the rate of the minority in Taiwan who watched adult videos was up to 90%, the frequency of watching adult videos was also the top among many countries. The research also indicated that the frequency of watching adult videos was higher, or the more exaggerative plots people who likes, it might influence the intimate relationship between couples more, too. Even caused their sexual life.



                     ↑Source2: Taiwanese like to watch adult videos more than other countries, but                            have worse satisfaction of sexual life.

As this source, in my opinion, adult videos really do affect the couple's life, no matter people who addicted to adult videos or not. Someone would say that they did not care about their lovers who watched adult videos, so long as "can't let them know". But why? The truth is, if you went back to home one day, and saw your lover was watching adult videos right now, did you really feel nothing about this situation? Base on this public inquiry, many people admitted that they were disturbed about they kept using adult videos over a long period time and tried to decrease the times. Despite men or women, watching adult videos will cause some fantasy illusion when they get together with their real lovers. For example, after they watched adult videos, women would want to see a naked man; men would like to have an intimate relationship with women. (Source1)

       ↑Source1:Adult videos' influence in our life.

So I think every couples should really take watching adult videos serious because it might become your big problem one day.  

Annotation1-revised:save the (D:) or lover?

Source1:改變是大腦的天性
Source2:每次都為了看A片跟男友吵架
Source3:台灣男生冷落女友

With my argument on "Should  men and women accept their lover to watch the adult video or not?", I found  some sources to prove my opposition.
I found a website made by a famous brain scientist 洪蘭 in Taiwan. And in the website she introduced  her book which discussed about brain's every reaction. According to one of paragraph in this book, it talked about "people's addiction". 

It mentioned that through some experiments, our brain's plasticity was related to dopamine(多巴胺). When our nerve received the instruction from cerebrum and then complete it, dopamine could let the nerve get more stable. Easy to say, the more dopamine, the connection of nerve would get more tight, this is the reason why we have addition. And once this kind of energy accumulate too much on nerve, it will cause an irreversible change, that means even people get rid of addiction eventually, brain will still memorize this influence. 


So my opinion is "sexual addiction" is without exception as well, I think people was addicted to watch adult video probably. 


Another point connect in above-mentioned paragraph, it said "Some people say that adult video provide people a healthy pleasure, can liberated from the sexual tension, however adult video is addictive, and provide resistance, actually it may reduce the feeling of happiness. People who addicted to adult video will long for adult video but don't like it; people who continued to watch adult video will think their lover were unattractive, and would rather watch adult video than dating with real person." It means that adult video may let people cannot tell reality from fantasy.




Further, in fact this issue is a trouble to the girls mostly. Because of this worry, they will try to ask some advise on the Internet after their lover did not consider their annoyance as a problem.(source2) Then usually they will get some users' responses that told them to understand their lover, even told them"Rather let your boyfriend watch adult video without make an extramarital affair." These kind of opinion usually make girls compromise. Someone may also said that watching adult video was just for physiological needs. But why especially someone already had a beloved still need to rely on watching adult video? There is another news about this issue.(source3) 


Even if watching adult video won't be addiction to everyone, does this behavior won't let people fall into the fictitious and porn world? After all adult videos are still commodities, a commercial practices, include many unrealistic and exaggerating content to fascinate viewer. So I convinced that watching adult videos could generate some over illusion. Therefore, this topic is not only against on "man" watch adult video, is about your "lover" who need to watch adult video as before would might cause influence between your relationship.
