That is a quote from Jean Baudrillard, a postmodern writer. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) plan for launching porn site where they thought it can be a way to protect animal rights. So, they have considered man’s activity of having sex is like those animals do. There are theories categorized human as part of animal kingdom. But, it should not be that extreme.
By establishing such a porn site, they are nothing more than those motherfuckers out there. Yeah, it is exposing sensuality along with sexuality. Animal education through sexual video is just appropriate for adults and not for public in large, including children. It is just not their time to watch it, although someday they will do so.
Back to the topic about sexuality, porn sites create various of sexuality simulacrums. It goes without saying that the image of human’s body in porn video is often showed as ideal as possible, even it exceeds the reality. That kind of ideals body depiction may be found in the reality, but in the digital world, everything is mostly manipulated.
Porn site offers several ways to feel sensuality and sexuality. They include voyeurism, role playing, cyber-fetishism, and teledildonic.
The porn site released by PETA may be just a mask to legalize porn actions, spread it to even the very youth. Even the porn video is unreal, but it can be seen and heard so it emerges psychical effects such as stimulation, motivation, fantasy, and pleasure.
According to Freud and Lacan, pleasure is derived from a sexual object which cannot be separated from the image along with the object itself. Laura Muley wrote that image or body representation in media is potential as stimulation source of sexuality.
Therefore, the porn sites must be restricted whatever its intentions.
