Pussy, Porn & Puritanism: America's Weird Attitude to Sex
by max blunt
Movies, porn, music, fashion, and glossy magazines fixate on the sexualized woman.

All that advice on how to be more attractive, how to give great blow jobs, and how to be good in bed, sexuality and sexual pleasure are still defined on male terms.

Sex is over when the man ejaculates; blow jobs are less gross than “carpet munching;” and sexually experienced men are virile, whereas experienced women are sluts.

Under such slanted expectations and double standards, women are seen not as autonomous sexual actors but as passive sexual objects.

By objectifying women and defining them by their chosen sexual activity, pop culture conflates sexual acts with the entirety of sexuality.
Commercial culture in the United States is schizophrenic towards young women....LINK
