Has Internet porn hijacked sexuality?

Sociologist Gail Dines is the author of "Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked our Sexuality." She joined us on Wednesday's American Morning to discuss how Internet porn may be changing the way people think about their own sexuality. Watch

@ eric..... great idea @RB ... women rarely do?? oh ?? its all male porn?? no female involvment at all?? or are they all held at gunpoint while the pictures or movie is made??? think about it...
If all porn sites were required to have .sex instead of .com or .net. They could be easily blocked by parents.
So, wait, I'm confused:
Is men to blame . . . . . Or is the internet to blame?
I have this weird feeling that, even though I agree with alot of this segment, there is a tinge of feminist finger-pointing in this.
Didn't I hear alot of studies that WOMEN are now indulging in pornography at an alarming rate? What about THAT angle? Why was that ignored?
Or is this another attack that men are misogynistic and pigs and dogs when it comes to sex?
Or is the access to to much information now meaning that there is to much access to porn?
What about blaming society and our culture? Where they embrace the idea "sex sells" and major corporations feed and exploit sex and our sexual desires to sell products?
I feel that there is a biased view on this against men when they act like . . . . Well, MEN.
What shall we do to rectify this? What solutions are there where you don't castrate a guy? Shall we now outlaw porn? Should the porn industry now fund sexual therapists and marriage counselors?
I don't hear alot of solutions here.
Pornland, Gail dines complains of the pervasion of porn on the internet. In her interview she shows how search engines are the method of search for porn. What Miss Dines doesn't say is how much child porn sex is out there and Google, Yahoo and Bing are a necessary part of finding these sites. Miss Dines talks of the effect web porn has on normal relationships. While i'm sure this is true, can you imagine the effect child porn has on it's victims and the perverts who seek this abomination who in too many cases result in kidnapped, raped and murdered children. When confronted with this situation the 3 main search engines refuse to remove the offending subscribers which disguise themselves as audience profilers, when in reality they are child porn guides.
I grew up in the 1960s with a father who sold pornography at his store. It was violent and degrading stuff even back then. It's about time someone like Dr. Dines stood up and revealed pornography for what it is. Men who use pornography know, but women very rarely do, which has allowed the degradation to proliferate.
oh i see only men watch porn... never any females... what a biased man-hater she is....
