The general consensus in the feminist porn movement is that no fantasy, no matter how anti-feminist the subject matter appears to be, is off limits. To tell a woman what she is and is not allowed to be turned on by is just about as anti-feminist as it gets.

“Most mainstream porn revolves around the ever-present erection,” she says, “which speaks volumes about how it really revolves around male pleasure, male desire, male fantasy. So I’ve shot scenes where a male partner will make a woman come with his hands, mouth or a toy without ever taking his pants off.”

Psychologist Russell Pratt said many young men believe the fantasy they see on the screen is real, and that the common porn script often includes violence or aggression towards women.

Rape fantasies are common but, as with any kind of fantasy about non-consensual sex, it is important to assess whether a person is likely to act these out or not. Your boyfriend has been frank with you, so perhaps he is simply hoping to increase the erotic spark between you, which does frequently occur when taboos are violated. Having said that, you are at the beginning of your sexual adventures, so keep in mind that you’re not required to like everything he or anyone else suggests, and that you must always feel free to decline. But it might be worth sampling a little of his porn, at least to help you gain some further insight. First, ask him to help you understand exactly what he feels would be gained by your watching it. If you see something coercive or upsetting, express that. Set firm boundaries. In particular, listen to your intuition: if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

“Porn sites are aware that there is disturbing and non-consensual content on their platforms,” says Isaacs. “They know that there is no way we can differentiate fantasy role-play acting, or faked production scenarios, or real abuse.”
