Porn women and fashion

I understand your sentiment, it's something I have begun to think about recently. Fashion and how that is used to express a womans (or mans) sexuality. I have read a good book that touches on this subject called 'Pornland, how porn has hijacked our sexuality' by Gail Dines, i'd highly recommend it. In the book she talks briefly about how girls are faced with an option to be fu##able or invisible, which is probably a bit of a simplification but there is a contrast between how women dress and how men dress. There is certainly less pressure on men to dress a particular way unless it's some kind of formal event or business meeting. I think because women tend to be judged on physical appearance socially and in the media a lot more intensely than men it leads to a certain level of anxiety for some women, having said that though if a woman is confident in her self then she should feel comfortable to wear what she wants. I don't believe in telling people what they can and can't wear in general, obviously there are some things that are just common sense like don't go out shopping wearing just a thong ! lol

The thing which i believe is becomming more of a problem that flies under the radar of public consciousness is the sexualisation of childhood, I have seen it myself young girls wearing see through tights and nothing else just walking down the street and i think this person is too young to understand the kind of unwanted attention she might attract. Not her fault but it's possibly something to do with being naive and wanting to fit in with her peers. Children often want to 'look older' remember when you were young and couldn't wait to grow up and do all the things adults do?, young girls tend to enjoy playing with mums make up etc. But when adult fashion becomes more and more revealing and accentuates certain body parts then children might not understand the social reasons behind that and just think innocently that it's what you have to wear to look older. This all obviously depends on the role models they have in life too. A lot of music videos offer dancers and singers especially female ones in extremely revealing attire, a lot of the time as an ex porn addict, I can see the outfits having been influenced by something on a porn film which involves BDSM. That's just one of the ways which mainstream culture is influenced. There is an old saying in advertising that goes 'people want what you tell them they want' on a side note, there are a lot of gyms or workout groups that are 'women only'

 

Sadly, we humans crave attention and we need it to survive, these girls have been mislead and this fucked up society instead of teaching them to achieve greatness academically, athletically or even artistically they only focus on their body... truly sad

 

I think it's more so the later than the former. While porn viewing among has gone up I still think the majority of women don't view it.

I don't know why they wear them actually but I know people are complicated and I can imagine people wearing them for all sorts of reasons.
They might be their wearing them because they find them comfortable but people are different. People find jeans comfortable but I don't. Some might wear them because they look cool or they're in style. Some might wear them because when they were young they were forbidden from wearing such clothes and now they're adults no one can tell them what to wear, so they wear them. Some might also wear them for the attention but I think it depends on the person.

But really if a woman tells you she wears yoga pants because they're comfortable you should believe her, there's no point in asking her if you've already made up your as to why she actually wears them.

 

Sorry if I came across a bit aggressive in my last post. I just think we should take people at their word. Some people might lie but it's not good to walk around with suspicious minds.

There was an interview with the Olympic athlete Jessica Ennis and she said this about the way she dresses:
"None of us have gone into sport because we want to be looked at like that. We wear very little, but it's not for that reason. It's for performance reasons".

You can read the full interview here. There's no sexy photos or anything but she does talk about a YouTube video and it might be triggery for some.

 

This is why I hit the gym at ungodly hours. Even the weightlifting section isn't safe as girls do cross-fit shizzle

 

I wear yoga pants because they are comfortable. I don't do fashion, I do have some nice shirts but mostly I wear tee-shirts and yoga or other non jean pants. I don't like jeans, I don't own any. But I don't wear skin tight yoga pants. I am a tom-boy at heart, always have been always will be. I normally dress in what is comfortable for me and I don't care what is in fashion or what other people will think.

 

I spoke to a girl about gyms recently and she admitted to hating them.. only wanted to work out at home.

Her reason was she got too many looks. Not from guys, but from other girls who were judging her. She didn't want to wear the tightest clothing etc. and apparently she got a few 'downward stares' from other girls..

I have a theory that once a certain 'hot fashion item' gets out there a bit, it becomes a way for women to set themselves apart from each other. Like a competition.

Imagine if us guys could put on a six pack for a day.. girls can have that effect much easier with clothes, so it may be tempting and they don't want to be the 'plain Jane' or odd one out when at college, work, shops, gym... basically anywhere lol.
