A Poem about the s*x industry by Lucianne Thomas
S*x sells, but
Imagine if s*x didn’t sell…
Imagine what sold was images of kindness, compassion
Imagine if the women stopped stripping off
and in turn we stopped stripping s*x
of its connection and intimacy
Imagine if we stopped trying ‘bondage’
and instead we started bonding
Because now more than ever - boys are making hate to girls
instead of love.
We think we are “woke”
But in world where we say ,
The internet says it’s ‘hot' to exploit and violate
P**n is an industry that should be destroyed…
but instead we perpetuate!
P**nhub - The most visited website in the world
holds titles that would make a mothers heart break
Please tell me when we will stop doing this for the mens sake?
All for a few moments of pleasure in a tissue…
we’ve created an addiction, a public health issue
So imagine if s*x didn’t sell
Imagine if what sold was the invitation to put down your phone and
hug your children, your husband or wife
If what sold was actually living your life…
But now ‘teen’ is the most searched for phrase in p**n…
Do you think these men looked at their new baby daughter when she was born
and thought “one day I’ll watch a video depicting in**st. because I have an addiction!”
Please don’t deny you can see the affliction?
Imagine if s*x didn’t sell
Imagine if what sold was teenage girls being allowed to
choose who they will become
Not having to worry that they’ll be invisible
if they don’t have a “good bum”
Imagine all the time they could spend
Not worrying about their eyebrows or fashion trends
And being allowed to exist, to explore, to create
To become a WOMAN and not a playmate.
Imagine if s*x didn’t sell
Imagine if what sold
Was just being okay with becoming old!
It’s a fu***ng luxury!
But media treat it as if it’s drudgery.
Imagine NOT buying the next collagen cream
Or adopting an hour long skincare routine
Or making sure that you’re still in line
With the beauty standards - which becomes more impossible all the time
Cant we show our daughters that it’s really okay
To become an old lady, to grow old one day?
To let them see all the other ways they can be great
That doesn’t revolve ‘round their age, or their weight?
Or imagine if s*x did sell
But it was shown as connection, as closeness, as loving - instead of objectification and ‘fu***ng’?
Perhaps we would have healthier relationships and marriages,
and learn how to love in a society that damages
Perhaps we would see a new generation
Where Kim Kardashian was not an inspiration
Maybe we’d start to see it all differently
And we’d end the 50 billion plastic surgery industry
Perhaps we would give hope to a new way of life
Where trafficking and r**e is no longer rife
Where boys ask girls not ‘what are you wearing’ but ‘whats on your mind?’
And girls fall for boys who are loving and kind
It seems a long shot but we can all start today
By NOT feeding the industry in every way
Girls - you don’t need to look like a p**n star!
Wouldn’t you rather be loved how you are?
