btw this is sort of a companion piece to 50 shades of sasha grey but like an expansion on why sasha grey sucks and her effects on other girls

Now if you've read Melissa's post on porn earlier this week you probably know who Sasha Grey is, if you don't I recommend this super handy vice doc on her. And if you can't be bothered to watch that she's basically the face of sex,kink and porn positive feminism or whatever. And while that's all cool and she's like made all her own choices completely independent from anyone else but herself she still sucks a lot.

FIFTY SHADES OF SASHA GREY

"As you read this, somewhere there is an eleven year old boy curiously typing 'porn' into Google, probably hoping to see some big boobies. Fast forward a couple of years and he is masturbating to a video of a crying woman who is being tied down, simultaneously penetrated by three men, spanked, and being called a whore. Young boys are being de-sensitised to violence and the more they consume, the more abusive, the more graphic the porn has to be to excite them" - Clara Bennathan (Violence, Teenagers, and Gonzo Porn)

Being 16 (for the past ten days) opens a lot of new doors for the British teen; I can get hired (and fired), hitched and - now that I'm allowed to buy lottery tickets - unbelievably rich. But 16 in the UK also means another thing - sex. Unlike many other countries, the legal age of consent here is 16 and now that I've made it I figured I should probably discuss the ins and outs of getting down with the sexies. Now I know it might be hard to believe but I actually found out about sex before I turned 16, thanks to the interweb...
