pornography is full of men who if you were to diagnose them would basically be diagnosed as psychopathic

When I asked male interview subjects what they would like to do in bed, "ejaculation on a woman’s face" was most often at the top of their lists. But when I asked them what the attraction of this act was and whether it meant anything, their initial response was puzzlement. They had never given it much thought. With time for reflection, however, most came up with answers very similar to those of the pornographers I interviewed: it is about controlling women, doing something disgusting to them. It’s like spitting or urinating on them.

Thus something unsettling about gender relationships mediated by pornography is revealed: on-screen male domination is sugar-coated -- portrayed as causing women ecstasy -- which in turn arouses further desire on the part of the male viewers: the desire to experience the pleasure derived from control and aggression. And deep down, these viewers understand it. "The second you have an orgasm and that passion sinks out of your body, and you’re still watching the movie, you start to really see what’s going on," one male college student said. "This is not sexy. This is not sex. This is not how I want to experience sex."

The first thing you notice in pornography - there's no such thing as a woman. There's lot of bitches, whores, cunts and cum dumpsters. No women. The reason for that is because the level of abuse and violence is so profound that you have to make sure that the guy who is jerking off to that woman does not look for one minute into her eyes and see a human being, because it may kill his erection stone-dead.

[quoting pornographer Jules Jordan]

One of the things about today's porn, the extreme market, the gonzo market, so many fans want to see much more extreme stuff that I'm always trying to figure out how to do something differently.

What he's saying is that they cannot keep up with the violence that the fans want. Now they have a problem and I'll tell you what the problem is. The problem is that this is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. They have to keep within the law.
They can't kill her really because now there's nothing short, there's nothing left to do to her, they have done everything conceivable that you could do to the female body and men want more.
So they have to stay within the law but they don't know what to do. So what do they do? They change the law.
