Presentation on "The Ethics of Porn on the Net" from Kath Albury (Week 8)

Albury in her “The Ethnics of Porn on the Net” suggests that while pornography is widely considered to be immoral or “perverse outsider”, we should in fact focus on how the internet pornography renewed the assumptions about pornography and the seems appropriate sexual expressions. “[It] is the internet’s diversity, and capacity for participation and change, which offers to make the most positive difference to the ways that sex and sexuality are represented pornographically.” As she makes some examples of certain pornography, they are a new kind of sexual beauty and desire, also with other related information and resources, which “does not conform to stereotypical images of the simpering, passive woman-in-pornography.” Thus, when considering pornography in terms of ethics rather than morals could offer us a new space to see this form of new sexuality and a relaxation from our anxieties on the danger of cyberporns.
