Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
I watched Sex Baby last night - a documentary on the pressures young girls face growing up in the digital age. The cameras follow a twenty-something getting labiaplasty, a thirty-something porn star trying to conceive, and a tween girl going through puberty on facebook.
The pornification of our culture has affected how young teens express themselves sexually - add social media into the mix - and you've got an entirely new world of sexual politics. Unfortunately, young girls pay the highest price.
Betty always says that she's against censoring porn because censorship never works. I agree. The real issue - not that the film addressed it - is that there's no decent sex ed out there to counter porn or put it in the right context. Your heart breaks for these kids.
I hope young girls find D&R as easily as they find porn:
