Porndemic
Porndemic puts faces and personalities to the extraordinary profitable business of pornography today. Porn has quietly reinvented itself on the world-wide-web, becoming more mainstream and culturally embedded every day.
After starting with a visit to the old guard, the besieged Larry Flynt in his penthouse perch, Porndemic drops in on a Gen-X new-porn mogul on his multi-million-dollar ranch, and on an upstart one-man operation in the seamy side of town.
The camera searches out a backstreet bondage superstar, some ordinary working girls in Montreal who run an internationally successful webcam site, the king of porn-actress pimps in San “Pornando” Valley, and the millionaire pioneer of the future of porn – virtual on-line sex – in Vancouver.
Porndemic examines an “epidemic” of porn addiction, including teenage cell-phone users, and an oil executive from western Canada who belongs to the fastest growing substance-abuse community in the world: Sex Addicts Anonymous. Porndemic also speaks to law-and-order experts who think that obscenity on the internet is out of control and beyond the law, and to the blandly confident businessmen who are the new face of corporate, mainstream porn.

thanks alot
What a Hoot! I wish I had internet when I was young,instead of hiding magazines all over the place! That Derek dude was p****e whipped.
He should of laid the law down, or found somebody else!
12 steps? what a crock! most men think of sex every 27 seconds.
Eliminate porn? what they should eliminate are the horrific blood and guts types of movies that are prevalent these days!
Porn will always be the “Cats Meow”
OMG SEX EVERYWHERE RUN!!!!!
This was ridiculous.
This is perhaps one of the most biased documentaries i have ever had a displeasure of seeing.
1) If you don’t like porn, don’t look at it.
2) Ability to find anything you desire on the internet is the ultimate freedom, be it for better or for worse.
3) Porn addiction is caused by the preexisting problem, not the ability to find it easily.
4) BUT WHAT ABOUT THE INNOCENT MINDS OF KIDS?!! well if they’re watching pornography that’s what they want to do. Oh and horny boys(usually)with raging hormones should be expected to want to watch sex acts. If you as a parent don’t like that, it’s up to you to you to take care of your children.
I’m addicted to cookies. Is there a 12 step program for that? haha
Ability to find anything you desire on the internet is the ultimate freedom, be it for better or for worse.
Its up to parents to set and upbring kids to let them know values what is good or not and use software to block bad sites.
this world is so twisted , we humans turn into animals and accept it as normal.A sick nation.
i watched this doc for 5 mins, turned it off, started watching porn, ha lol
A porn doc made by prudes, one-sided and boring.
I’m not against the idea of porn but you know what? It is pretty gross. Most of it anyway. The way it treats women, the lies it tells about female sexuality… Men would be better lovers if they did without.
Doesn’t surprise me that someone who backs Polenski would watch porn… Internalizing misogyny doesn’t erase it.
This documentary is almost a rewrite of the 1956 religious right propaganda film: “Perversion for Profit” (parts I & II) which can be found on the “Internet Archive” site. Prelinger Archives, who stores the film, has this to say about the 1956 anti porn opus:
“Anti-pornography film produced by financier Charles Keating*, linking pornography to the Communist conspiracy and the decline of Western civilization.”
The same blurb could be made about “Porndemic”. The song remains the same.
Porn does not become more dangerous when linked to the internet. As long as humans are stifled in their sexuality, porn will be around. Porndemic continually cames back to the aphorism of men as the users of porn. I agree, however, the film makers fail to analyse the reason men turn to porn on such a large scale. Perhaps women and men run on different sexual timetables. In the distant mists of human pre-history, men had multiple mates – evidenced by men being (on average) slightly taller and heavier than women indicating physical battles for available females. Once humans began pair-bonding to raise children with a long infancy (21 years), women did their part by becoming sexually receptive all the time (or so I’ve been told). I believe women gained some needed power from the pair-bonding relationships and that men, no longer able to relieve their every sexual whim, grew frustrated. Porn rushed in to fill the vacuum, solving the problem.
Porn is not the danger the self righteous claim it is. Tampering with the free exchange of ideas, the greatest benefit of the internet, to slow the distribution of porn would be disastrous. Look at two of societies’ attempts to legislate morality; alcohol prohibition and the ‘war on drugs’. Both are massive failures in public policy and both invited in organized crime (with all it’s miseries) to keep the supply flowing to otherwise law abiding citizens. Outlawing porn would potentially criminalize 50% of American society.
We should, however, pursue and prosecute the makers, distributors and users of child porn. I will not get into the reasons here, but, I think minors making porn are in harms way – mentally and physically. I am for a liberal society where laws are only enacted to prevent harm. Although I believe while we should have few laws I also believe those laws should be enforced in a quick, firm even draconian manner. A person endangering a child; e.g., sexual assault, kidnapping or major neglect or abuse, would be given capital punishment regardless of status and privilege.
[ *Yes the same Charles Keating who saw no sin in cheating thousands of their life savings leaving them penniless and despondent in the 1970s was appalled at the supposed sin of porn, or smut as it was once called. Families losing everything or people looking at porn, which do you think causes the most harm?]
Internet porn is likely the largest threat in history to much of the female population. The use of their sexuality to manipulate and victimize men is greatly threatened, and is being lost. This loss of control is causing them to lose huge amounts of financial gain as well. Many will not take this lying down, literally and figuratively. The bar will now be raised ladies, and your ice-cold beds of the past will need to be warmed to attract men once again. Please your men or lose them, and lose the resources you expect to receive.
Old bag shrink, scamming guilt trips and long range therapy profits. Them women sank their fangs into that wimpy wuss guy big time, what a 5ucker! Any bet the old bag is a big closet porn fan.
What a strange world we live in…
Very ****** documentary. Uses lies and rhetoric to try to separate the viewer from their rationality. Clearly the product of a diabolical scheme of feminazis.
Epidemic, ha. everyone in this film, EVERYONE especially the narrator have visited or are currently visiting porn sites. When they say they don’t they’re full of s***.
hhaah arnt there other things more important to worrie about? This is also the most biased thing ive seen. Whos cares if kids watch porn, there going to see someday anyway? Let kids be free to make their own decisions and think openly and freely.
This doc was very informative, and presented both sides of the coin.
In regards to some of your comments, like yui for example; “Who cares if kids watch porn, there going to see someday anyway? Let kids be free to make their own decisions and think openly and freely.”
If I had a daughter I would not want her to be on the internet, whether she chose it or not. All those women on the internet are someones daughter. When you love people you cover them up.
It was interesting to see how the sex addict in therapy realize that he made a mistake by watching porn with his wife, i would like to know why he thinks its wrong.
let’s say it, i love porn and looking at it , my only caveat is that kids should be surpervised.
I vould like to know more women that are as wicked as i am.
no rape anyway the nbest sex is volontary
@Bryce
LOL. Yes their is actually. Overeaters Anonymous.
Women have no dignity.
I found just doc just a one-sided.
I would like to see the stats on educated people (post secondary education) and uneducated people (no post-sec), when it comes to porn. I would like to see if there is a difference in those two demographics when it comes to the intake of pornography.
Just curious.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with erotica/porn. It becomes wrong when one of the parties involved is harmed. Wanting to see sexual images and enjoying that is normal. But we cannot ignore the environment and culture that the pornography is made and consumed in. I think its also normal to have a concern for the girls involved. We can’t ignore the fact that pornography, prostitution, and human trafficking go hand in hand and the horrors involved with all three.
I don’t mean to be doom and gloom about sex or watching people have sex, its fun. But the fact is in this culture sex and people are a commodity and human trafficking (80% or so women and girls) is the second most profitable business in the world. And its rarely the girls that profit.
is this doc really against porn? whats with all th porn vids nd ****** sounds, no wonder whoopi went to watch porn after 5 mins of watchn!
lol not only did this doc make me want to watch porn it made me lol at the intensely negative spin they put on any sexual act that doesn’t follow “vanilla” tastes. The idea that consensual kink is dangerous is something someone ignorant to its benefits would think.That or they have lame sex.
Sex addiction is not completely recognized within the APA, the symptoms that are stated to be sex addiction are usually symptomatic of something else (like every addiction ever).
Why is porn instantaneously a system of exploitation? Porn is a ridiculously regulation heavy industry. Men and women get paid oodles of cash! Oodles!
Derek’s wife sounds like a prude.
Porn is the best entertainment in the world, i don’t care about the people who thinks its gross or sick, porn provides the entertainment for men n women.. me and my gf are now addicted to porn, sometimes we watch together and sometimes alone but its fun to watch it.
There should be a law that porn is only allowed in HD
Porn Rocks
this doc misses the point. men are addicted to sex. and women obviously arent helping enough, so men choose porn, its like a heroine addict getting a fix at the clinic to get off of it. only he likes it too much so he keeps going back. its not a porn addiction its an unquenched sex addiction, legalize prostitution, problem solved.hahaha
******. and porn is not reaily available everywhere. i live in a country where it is censored, and it SUCKS!!! i would love some porn. please sir, i want some porn. i would rather someone be addicted to porn then raping real people. what kind of porn did jack the ripper have for that matter.
Porn is my hobby, much like a baseball fan collects Baseball cards with their favorite players on them, I collect movies and magazines that feature my favorite stars, directors and studio’s. The only person I have to be okay with at night before I go to sleep is myself, all I can say is I love who I am and will not compromise who I am for anyone. I am a women who loves gonzo porn and proud of it!
Protect our Porn!
Help protect our rights, ’cause if you don’t your rights will be next and there will be no one willing to help protect yours.
I fapped. Some of these pics are hot.
I’m a feminist who also happens to love porn. I know that there are many women who are victimized to make porn (as well as some men) but stopping porn won’t solve that problem. The only thing that will solve that problem is for all of us to consider men and women as equals, both deserving of respect and freedom. Media can help with that but it’s by discouraging the depiction of women as objects not censorship.
i’m with mandi on this one, and of course max and eyepopping ^ u go guys..and girl ‘p
There’s porn on the internet?
