The Ethics of Pleasure: Transformation of Pornography and Revolution in Female Desire by Natalie Peskova

abstract
This work begins with an overview of the topic of pornography in the context of the past century, drawing on feminist discourse and the sexual revolution. It primarily outlines the perspective of liberal feminism, particularly the sexually positive view of pornography. The subsequent section describes the image of pornography, its forms in various media, and its impact on the consumer. I aim to explain certain characteristics and content intentions closely associated with mainstream pornography. These primarily involve elements of stereotyping related to unrealistic portrayals, gender discrimination, and sexism. In the second half of this work, I focus on the specific topic of pornography for women, or ethical pornography, as an important genre of contemporary pornography. This refers to pornographic content designed to satisfy viewers not only through the ethical values upheld in each production but primarily through content that differs in its function, aesthetics, and the overall performance of the actors, which finally aligns with our reality.
