In this week’s Sex in the News, I’m shocked at escort Latana Bleue’s desperate attempt at getting publicity for her new books by saying online porn to blame for “sex drought”. I also look into the published survey by Pornhub which shows what women around the world search for in porn, and much more.
What irks me the most about this article is the way it’s so cleverly written to make speculations by Latana Bleu sound like fact.
“Internet pornography is destroying men’s ability to perform with real women and is creating a generation of “totally sexless” couples. That’s the view of a former escort who has travelled the world with her wealthy clients -”
They are not facts and she doesn’t once give evidence to back her claims. In fact, her claims comes from the fact that about 1 in 5 of her clients have told her that they “favoured video stimulation over actual intercourse with the wives”. Considering these clients are also visiting an escort, perhaps there’s more ruining their marital lives than just porn?
The retired escort who lives in the USA also claims that some men maybe turning to escorts to fulfill the “kinky kick” they crave as a result of watching porn. She doesn’t mention the fact escorts and prostitutes have been around long before online pornography was invented.
Overall I’m disappointed that someone in the industry would attack online pornography knowing it’s an easy story to sell, in hopes of getting actual sales for her story. I’m happy to say I will not be looking into purchasing her books ever.
YouTube Teaches Porn; Will Twitch follow the Trend?
Instead of shunning porn and blaming all of our problems on it, we should be instead following in YouTube’s example of educating people on it. I’m not just talking about what sexual positions are best for stimulating the g-spot sort of education (although that is handy) but things like YouTube’s “Ask a Pornstar” which tackles questions relating from relationships to sex to the stigma of working in the industry.
The problem I find we still face is that even with innocent, non-sexual content, people are still claiming that YouTube are entering dark waters. What dark waters? The dark waters of sex education? It’s not something that should be frowned upon with caution, but instead promoted. The best way to tackle fear is not with ignorance but with knowledge.
Channel 4’s Sex Box is back
Despite the recent wave of hate towards online pornography, sex still sells and everyone knows that. That’s why Channel 4’s very controversial show “Sex Box” is back for another season. The show is practically porn, with couples having sex in front of a live audience, albeit inside a box. They then come out, describe what happened and have sexperts give them advice. 
It’s not the only naughty show Channel 4 will be hosting, as they’ve also got “Naked Attraction” coming out soon, where contestants chose dates based on each other’s naked bodies – in front of a live audience.
It’s interesting how we are both able to hate and stigmatise online pornography, yet will lap up anything sexual that’s wrapped up in a bow of acceptable “censorship”. I’m glad that Channel 4 do have these shows, because people are interested in them and it’s opening up our minds to be more accepting. Porn is only harming towards hypocrites after all.
