Ever since the beginning of recorded human history, men have found two simple solutions to their problem of intolerable sexual frustration. I don't include happily married men who are able to maintain their marriages without ever cheating, but I am including the married men who do cheat. The vast majority of divorces are directly related to infidelity, and most of it is committed by men. One solution men found before recorded history began is rape, which they do not need permission for, and male anger over the power imbalance is certainly one of the reasons behind rape. Please don't mistake me - I believe rape is an inexcusable violation of women's natural human rights. The other solution for men is prostitution and it is extremely common for men to use prostitutes so that they can live out fantasies which they cannot or will not enjoy with their wives. Women discovered that they could use the power imbalance to solve a big problem for themselves, and it's not a sexual problem. Throughout history, women were simply not allowed by men to earn money by working at a job but they could make money secretly by being prostitutes. An unspoken agreement was formed which worked for both sides and that's the reason why prostitution has flourished in all societies even though it is almost always against the law. Nowadays women are able to earn money by using their non-sexual talents and abilities, but many women still choose to do it by renting their bodies and that's self evident because of the great number of very intelligent prostitutes. I'm not saying that prostitution is an easy job, but historically it was the only money making job available to women.

Pornography is a relatively new development in human history because it really began to flourish after the development of the Kodak camera. Prior to the invention of photographs, all that existed were drawings created by horny men who were not very good artists. Many women believe that pornography is all about degradation of women by men who are exploiting them. Betty Page, the very first photographed "pin-up girl", would have disputed that theory from her own personal experience. Betty discovered that she was extremely turned on by being photographed in sexy poses. Men quickly discovered an almost universal desire to look at photographs of nude women. Almost immediately after Betty's photos were published, many other women discovered the same desire in themselves and began to fantasize about being able to do the same thing that Betty did.

Hugh Hefner was in the right place at the right time with the right concept, and he accumulated an enormous fortune by publishing the first mass magazine that featured beautiful nude women. Do you remember who the first centerfold was? It was Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn was already becoming a movie star and she certainly didn't need to put herself out to the public that way. Within a very short amount of time, other pornographic magazines sprung into existence because so many men were jealous of Hefner and were attempting to do the same thing. There was never a shortage of willing female models and it's ridiculous to believe that all of them allowed themselves to be degraded. By the late 1970's, video production exploded and pornography moved into the new medium because it is so much more expressive than photographs can possibly be. Many female pornographic superstars were created by the new medium. Just ask Annie Sprinkes, Candy Samples, or Ushi Digart why they participated in so many of the early classic porno videos. Their answers would be the same, and Annie is actually a philosopher on the subject. Annie believes that it's all about female self expression that results in freedom and independence from male domination.
