I created this channel to provide easy access to all of the best anti-porn, anti-sexual exploitation, pro-woman videos on YouTube. It is especially for visitors to my blog so that they can see videos full-sized and in one place. (Link at box bottom.)
Thanks to all of the wonderful people who created the videos. Your contributions are very much appreciated, & I look forward to seeing your future creations! :-)
Please also see "PLAYLISTS" link at page top for 200+ more related videos, divided by category.
Enjoy the videos! :-) And please feel free to come and visit my blog. It's under construction but there's already a lot of content there. :-) (I.e. Anti-porn videos longer than 10 mins from Google Video.)

Anti-Pornography Activist
Name: APA, :^)
This video channel and I are against pornography but not erotica, nudity or sex. For the time being and for the purpose of this video channel, pornography and erotica are defined as follows:
PORNOGRAPHY: Material that combines sex and/or the exposure of genitals with abuse or degradation in a manner that appears to endorse, condone, or encourage such behavior.
EROTICA: Sexually suggestive or arousing material that is free of sexism, racism, and homophobia, and respectful of all human beings and animals portrayed.
The above definitions are from "Pornography As a Cause of Rape", by Dr. Diana Russell, PhD, which is a book excerpt from "Against Pornography: The Evidence of Harm". Read excerpt at Diana Russell.com.
So because by definition pornography, (as it is used here), has to include abuse or degradation, if you are against abuse and degradation in regards to sexuality, then you are against pornography. So assuming that you are... welcome to the team! :^)
City: Land of the Free. :-)
Interests and Hobbies: If you are against porn on YouTube, please feel free to join this group here: http://www.youtube.com/group/PornVideosSuck. Please note that this video channel and its creator are not faith-based or religious. Videos that include any such content are included for those who might be, or for those who are interested in how various religions are dealing with pornography.
Also please note that inclusion of a video on this channel does not necessarily constitute endorsement of all content of that video. A variety of anti-porn videos and other videos about porn and the sex trade are included to show what different people are doing. Please feel free to watch and learn from whatever you like from here and leave the rest behind. Thanks! :^) Also please note that there is graphic content and language in some of the videos, so please proceed accordingly. Thanks.
Movies and Shows: All anti-porn movies, shows, and documentaries. :^) I have a collection of non-YouTube ones at my blog. (Which has posts such as: 101 Things You Can Do To Combat the Harms of Pornography, and Jenna Jameson's Twenty-Five Good Reasons Why No One Would Ever Want to Become a Porn Star.)
Examples of other videos at my blog are:
1) A documentary about teenagers hooked on porn, 2) Robert Jensen talk: Real Men, Real Choices, 3) Rebecca Whisnant talk: Not Your Father's Playboy and Not Your Mother's Feminist Movement, 4) Nadine Strossen of the ACLU debating Norma Ramos of Women Against Pornography, and 5) Porn in the Age of Instant Access: What Are the Social Effects of Fast, Cheap and Stigma-Free Viewing? Featuring: Nick Gillespie, Editor, Reason Magazine, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Columnist Village Voice and Penthouse, and Pamela Paul, author of Pornified. Plus I have other non-You Tube videos there with people like anti-pornography author Catharine MacKinnon, Gloria Steinem, and Tonya Flynt. (Daughter of Hustler's Larry Flynt.) So feel free to come and check them out! :^)

keep up the good work, anti-p
down with the BS
1) If you are referring to the U.S.A., regardless of what I think, most pornography is actually technically already illegal. It just isn't prosecuted.
2) I believe that there are legal measures that can & should be put into place that can significantly reduce the harm done to individuals in the production of pornography. These measures can also reduce the harm done to women, children, & society in general from the existence of, consumption of, & influence of violent, degrading, & sexist pornography.
The measures would include: restricting access of Internet pornography & other pornography to 18 yrs & older, raising the age of participation in pornography to 21 years old, & improving the health & safety standards within pornography production in a variety of ways, including implementing mandatory condom use.
A more detailed response with references is posted at my blog. (Post title is your question. Link in box at left.) Thanks. :-)
I think you could make a good case that commercial porn should be illegal to produce since it is essentially prostitution. The basic principle is that when you pay people to have sex, bad things tend to happen, namely one person feels entitled to abuse another.
There are lots of things you can't pay people to do in America. OSHA exists to enforce many of these rules.
This is not a free speech issue. People would still be free to make and distribute porn 'on their own time' if they want to make political or artistic statements.

Thanks for your question. It may be a simple one, but my answer is somewhat complicated. However, since this is an important issue, I will write it up for you and post it here in the next 48 hours or so. Hopefully it will be helpful to you and others. In the meantime I have a number of posts on my blog that address legal and related issues, so perhaps if you are interested you could check them out. Thanks.
