Sex and the InternetJoin now to read essay Sex and the InternetFOCUS:In what way can it be argued that technology is redefining our sense of self and community? This is a broad and far reaching question. The test community I have chosen to evaluate this question on is young college age males. Particularly those from the ages of 18-22. Do be more definitive I was privileged to actually gain insight on this subject from some student right here in the Drew Forest. In the next pages I will examine the lifestyles of two Drew students both male and there stories of how internet pornography effects their image of self and how they interact with others. I am examining this question in the context of two paradigms or premises. The first premise that I will examine underneath is a theory that I call the Turklean model. This model is so named from my readings on Sherry Turkle and her book “Life On The Screen”. Using this model I examine how the population views themselves. What do they see as their identity in this paradigm and how do they see others?. The second premise I would like to call the Civinian model. The Civinian model is taken from some of the theories and ideas that I cultivated from Michael Civin and his book “Male Female e-mail”. This premise examines how the population gets involved in the cyber culture and the factors that contribute into the populations need to operate in that culture. The research done here shows the connection and the disconnection between both models. The attributes they share in common and those that are distinct. All data and assumptions in this analysis should be derived from these two models. In order to get a proper feel for this environment and it effects to the male psyche we will need to explore some of the anecdotal evidence as well.
BACKGROUND:As I approach this topic of internet pornography I approach it with several presuppositions to examine. The first supposition in this examination is that when looking at the person that uses internet pornography we must examine it as Shelly Turkle would say from, “a second self”. No more than on this topic do the ramifications of internet pornography ring true. Shelly Turkle once thought that, “the computer was a second self, an identity transforming relationship, one on one, a person and a machine” but this still holds to be true in this scenario of events.
First we must define source of topic. The internet is an electronic communications network that connects computer networks and organizational computer facilities around the world. The internet is a system architecture that has revolutionized communications and methods of commerce by allowing various computer networks around the world to interconnect. Sometimes referred to as a network of networks, the internet emerged in the United states in the 1970’s but did not become visible to the general public until the early 1990s. By the beginning of the 21st century approximately 360 million people, or roughly 6 percent of the worlds population, were estimated to have access to the Internet. It is widely assumed that at least half of the worlds population will have some form of Internet access by 2010 and that wireless access will play a growing role. The Internet provides a capability so powerful and general that it can be used for almost any purpose that depends on information, and it is accessible by every individual who connects to one of its constituent networks. It supports human communication via electronic mail (e-mail), “chat rooms,” newsgroups, and audio and video transmission and allows people to work collaboratively at many different locations. It supports access to digital information by many applications, including the World Wide Web. The Internet has proved to be a spawning ground for a large and growing number of “e-businesses” (including subsidiaries of traditional “brick-and-mortar” companies) that carry out most of their sales and services over the Internet. (See electronic commerce.) Many experts believe that the Internet will dramatically transform business as well as society (1).
As the definition describes the internet in of itself is not such a bad thing but when you add pornography to it, the two become a lethal cocktail for the psyche and its imagination. Pornography, material that depicts erotic behavior (as in pictures or writings) intended to cause sexual excitement. The porno industry is a $57 billion behemoth. This form of entertainment is by far the largest. It is larger than all of the revenues of professional sports like football, baseball, basketball, as well as ABC, CBS, and NBC combined. Internet porn is the fastest growing segment of the business with the most potential for growth and greatest return on equity. There are no manufacturing costs associated with internet porn. For a business it is simplistic,
[quote=Fraud_Bait=2&context=3]It may be surprising to discover that over 50% of the internet in the US is controlled by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (IOC). It has $8 billion in the bank account or financial account in the US alone. It has a business model that has an incredible potential for growth. Most importantly, it has a way of becoming available to anyone who wants to use it for entertainment, entertainment they do not know about. To become a porn celebrity you need to be willing to talk about sexual images, and to be willing to reveal anything with the intention of making money and changing the world. In other words, once you become a known figure in a pornography world, you don’t need to be a criminal. Â
In the short space of a few years, pornography will be able to become the highest form of a public service that’s available across nearly a quarter of the US. Pornographic, private and public porn sites are making millions. I know one American woman who made $100K an hour because she didn’t watch Netflix. The most you’ll ever get or get a piece of material will change the experience of you. Porn pornography will make America more unique and it will be even easier to enter the culture of the future. Pornography, that’s what I am doing here. When I think of it, it’s something everyone would be familiar with. Â
I love these people. Some may even ask me, “What has this to do with you?” For me that is a question that has only been posed to me once before. I have always been attracted to people like these and I don’t know what to believe. After meeting one of the women in this video, I couldn’t believe how interesting this person was. For her, this woman has an almost human and erotic touch. She has a funny look on her face.
[quote=”Moral_Bait]The Internet is the medium of entertainment that it brings about our souls to create happiness. It is the medium that we all know and love and this is the real joy of our life and its all made possible by the power of knowledge. I feel that my voice and what I say are not about people judging me to be evil or bad. My voice is about not judging the people who believe they are a better and deeper source of life than I am. This is something you think your child likes to think about. A child likes a good picture. I do everything I can to make sure this child will look up to anyone who looks up to me. Some of my messages to them are encouraging and some of these messages can be empowering to them from what I will say.
