Netowrks embedded in porn
Prdxn and dist of porn is network based
Its not the content that is the focus; hers is focused on how porn gets from prodxn to
consumers, how do they make money
She uses a social network analysis approach
New world order of pornography
o 248 million (Ogas $& Gaddam 2011) sites were porn sites on internet (4%)
o is porn helpful to explore sexuality or is it harmful
benefit side
democratized
this explosion makes it so anybodycan put themselves out there
circumventing patriarchal control
assumption: internet is a democratized platform/system of prdxn
and dist
but internet has consolidated power (Barabasi)
20% of nodes hold 80% of links
internet is scale free networks
o how networks grow and devl
o random no order or plan
o scale free network in order to be seen, you have to
connect your site ot dominant sites
make sure to maximize your Google analytics
this consolidates power
you have ot connect to the big players
chaos or capitalism
o is this about modern day capitalism or freedom of choice
JB: cant it be both
Methodology
o Nodes in this case are pornography businesses
o Links relationships between them (e.g., marketing, distributing each others
materials
Porn couldnt do business w/o mainstream industries to distribute their materials
OCPI in 2007 showed that there were high degree nodes surreounded by
Perception of an open network chaotic experience created by high number of
pendulants (that is a lot of single nodes with only one link)
JB: how od you choose the parameteres to create the spring layout?
Center nodes doing the most business distributers, affiliates, using each others
products
o The edges are all consumer websites (where the videos are, where people go to
get the material)
o How do consumers get from one red dot to another they have ot bounce back
and forth bn core to another red dot
Economy of the core
o Afilitate and aggregate sites
Can join an affiliate, link people to the affiliate site; the more people that
join my site
The way men manipulate other mens sexuality for profit
A small number of nodes are doing a lot of business, especially with themselves
o If you get rid of the dame referential source links
o Like cereal isle looks like a lot of choices, but you only have 3 choices,
Kellogs, General Mills and (the third guy)
Affiliate business, if you join, you are connected ot all the other affiliates
Mindgeek cleaning their image; white washinging it, but they are
Porn is not just about images, its about making money
Causes a fantasy of abundance, like there is a lot of choice, but its a lie
DIY porn thought that they are being innovative, they feed the very structure they feel
they are challenging
Sexualization, Media and Society new Journal through Sage (call for papers soon)
Critical look at sexualized media in all its forms and its affect

Laura Lederer and Nadine

the paper on the links bn porn and sex
o article is in the back
o makes case for 5 links bn sex trafficking and porn
L phase one o finterviews so powerful that they wanted ot get htem out
o She does applied research, she does it so we can change culture
o Make the harm visible
o Once people understand how harmful it is ppl can take axn
o First person stories are most powerful
o New research
Five questions about porn
Were you gromed using porn
Asked to do sth from porn by john
Was your pic or vid taken during trick
Was pimp/trafficker using porn to sell you
Reproductive health consequences of ST key interest of the donor
Trying to do an omnibus bill based on the research (CONNECT HER
WITH SAMANTHA)
(JB: D is sweet, bad at moderating bc of emotionality)
N dad said If you cooperate it wont hurt so badly.
o They told her that one day the violent porn they filmed of her would be normal.
Unfortunately they were right.
o Never been a study on the women and children that have been sold into
pornography
o Whats working and not working to reach young ppl to help them understand
LEO short black woman
o Specializes in anti-trafficking
Could pornography industry survivre without the force
o I dont think so. I dont think sex trafficking could survive without the
pornography industry. Voluntary v involuntary is a myth so people can make
their money.
o Of the 130 vics interviewed, 98% had some kind of phys violence they endured
during the time of trafficking
o The physical volence was way to keep her in captivity
How do we educate those that think they are beyond this
o In almost all interviews, she found that there was a romancing, the grooming
process, when they think that nothing bad is going to happen. Very few of the
cases are out and out kidnapping.
o Its hard ot tell young people. Find others like Nadine, esp young ppl, telling their
stories. Easier to come from peer.
o Say it over and over and over again, you can start breaking the resistance, the
psychological resistance. Somebody is going to capture the echo. There will be
those who go before them to bulldoze the way so others can come behind and
speak.

Dr. Mary Anne Layden

In 10 years, every case she saw and some kind of porn connxn
We wont fix the problem by focusing on victims
o We wont fix the problem by saving one victim at a time
o Thats why many people have decided to go upstream to see whos pushing them
in and pornography is pushing them in
pornified
o sex is a product and the body is a commodity
o if its a product, you can sell it you can steal it. Stealing it is sexual violence.
Sexual exploitation industry is a semaes interconnected continuum with all the other
problems of sexual exploitation. You cannot draw a line.
Pronography is visual invasion for money (JB: she is good at putting key ideas into
phrases that can be grasped.)
Prostition is live visual physicial invasion for money
No demarcation because it is continuous
Rape is live visual and physicial invasion by force
Seamless interconnected continuum
(JB: she maps out what she is going to cover)
Dont do things that support the problem
Learning
o JB: great slides, quick content
o Learning is deeper in presence of arousal
o Anti-social behaviors are learned and expressed more if anonymous
o JB: she leads you down a stream of logix very well
o JB: white screen, black letters
What is it teaching us?
o Permission giving beliefs
Wrong crazy, prudish, I dont need ot change, doesnt hurt anyone,
everyone is doing it
Sex is a right
Sex is a need like youll die if you dont get it
Yes body needs ot release sperm, but just if a guy doesnt like the
way the body releases it (bc it will w/o the stimulation) doesnt
mean he needs sex
JB: humor, like her personality
All men to got prostitutes
Mis-education
Research when they look at sex lives of ppl who are having the
most and best sex are long term married ppl
Sex is adversarial
One-way street for pleasure
Internet porn tends to be designer sex. you keep clicking until you
find the idealized image or the preferred image of the moment
Definition of consent changes, they dont notice unwillingness in
partners
Pornified thinking
o Women enjoy rape
o She got what she wanted
o Women make false accustiations
o Rapists deserve less time in prison
Study done 3 weeks after exposure
o Sexually callous beliefs
o JB: she needs to have some kind of page of studies shes citing bc citations are not
on the slides
o JB
o More willing to have sex with 13-14 year olds (WHAT IS THE STUDY!!!!)
Pornified behavior
o Monto 1999 more likely to go to a prostitute
Prostitution
o Only 9% of the prostitutes like the feelings
o Black girl -18 in her first and lat picture
o The slave and the slave owner are destroyed.
