“This, the “Vagina Effect”, is one of the saddest byproducts of pornography: to attract the attention of jaded males, female performers now feel they have to flash their vaginas – not too obviously, lest more orthodox fans be alienated, but 'accidentally' so as to sidestep disquieting accusations of vulgarity.” SexWomenFeminismGirlsPornographyPornVaginaVagina Effect Author:Antonella Gambotto-Burke
“Sex has, through being photographed, become a thing to be observed, to be performed, rather than experienced so deeply that it is unnecessary even to open one’s eyes.” LoveSexRelationshipsFeminismWomanhoodPornographyPorn Author:Antonella Gambotto-Burke
“I refuse to have my vagina photographed because I have no interest in being desired on the basis of its appearance. It has taken me decades to appreciate its power and beauty, and not merely because it birthed a child. Responsive to tenderness and the source of a luminous ecstasy, my vagina has enabled me to transcend an otherwise limited sense of self. I feel no need to make it conform to another’s aesthetic or have it applauded by strangers.” WomenPhotographyWomanhoodFemininityPornographyPornObjectificationReductionismVaginaSexual Organs Author:Antonella Gambotto-Burke
