6 curious people say...:
CG, I think she has a point. we absorb the manufactured into our minds, forgetting it is just that-made up for a purpose, not as a way of being.
i understand that, however, my argument is that this is nothing new...the "manufactured" image that we as humans absorb has shifted and changed throughout the years...whether a fuller figure, smaller breasts, larger breasts...those images are encoded into our minds as ideal...
i was taking the microscope from 10,000x magnification to 100x magnification - thus, i am not saying her argument has no truth to it, but rather saying it is just one piece of a larger perspective...

Yes, Curious smarty pants Girl, I know that you know, that I know that you are cool with what Comfy said! lol
You used my fav word, 'thus'!
cg - maybe I'm being foolish, but I'm not the best with computers. Where can I find comfy's article?
@chb - wasnt an article, just her argument regarding professional porn...it was in a comment from one of the below posts...

Professional porn is dying. People won't pay for it when they can get all the PornoTube and Shufuni they want for free.
The democratization of porn is killing the stereotype of the sexually active woman as being rail thin with large (enhanced) breasts.
However, you still have all those vanilla-world females (models, singers, TV reporters) reinforcing the preferred physique stereotype.
