sex work

1. In the last week of class, we examined images of female and male sexuality found in the media, particularly in music videos, popular release movies, advertising, and pornography. We also considered attitudes toward sex work.
   1. Compare the “story(ies) of female sexuality” depicted in music videos, popular release movies, advertising, and pornography with the “story(ies) of male sexuality.”
      1. To what extent do these images arise out of and reinforce sex negative dimensions of our attitudes and practices of sex that were discussed in earlier lessons?
   2. To what extent do sex negative attitudes impact attitudes toward sex work?

1. As Erika Lust says, “it’s time for porn to change.”
