Different standards of porn addiction and the gender gap?

After reading this article this morning I don’t know whether to feel infuriated by the implicit stance of the article or sympathy for these women…or maybe both??

Please see article: Why more and more women are using pornography

To start with the title doesn’t suggest a problem, but as you read the article it becomes quite clear that women using pornography in an addictive fashion is wrong and unhealthy, despite the clear biological benefits of the practice – perhaps when taken in moderation. And it seems that it is not the act in itself that is the problem but the way that women are implicitly led to feel about using porn.

Furthermore there is no representation of women who use porn freely, without guilt and ‘healthily’. This makes me a little mad. The idea that women feel guilt because we see the women acting in porn as degraded and used is as I understand it, not entirely necessary. Many women that work in the ‘porn’ industry do so freely and feel empowered by it and it’s important I think to clarify what kinds of porn we’re talking about here. There are many forms of artistic ‘porn’ available across multiple mediums.

I ‘use’ porn frequently, sometimes many times a day and sometimes not at all…personally I think it depends on my hormones and other factors. I used to feel guilty about my sexuality but no longer do (after years of counselling and education). I would like to think that we can change the way we as a society think about women and pornography to give us much more freedom to feel and act on our impulses, whether that be 20 times a day or not.

I’m intrigued to know what your overall stance on the subject is:
Is it ok for people to use porn?
Is it ok for men and not women or women and not men?
Does the level of acceptability rely on certain factors? Amount of time spent? Type of porn?
What do you think about the article?
