Now that you bring it up though, women are seen as sexual objects in a lot of "regular" (i.e. not specifically intended to be dom/sub) porn videos too. The camera is almost always positioned in the man's point of view, the viewer almost always sees only the face of the woman (and not the guy's face), the videos are just generally aimed at a male audience. I know the reason behind this is that men watch porn a lot more than women, but this also contributes to create misconceptions about real sex. Also, I wonder if more women would watch porn, if it weren't so fixated on the male point of view. I probably would.
That's because it's catering to the imagination and visual complexities that men enjoy. There are many, many porn films that cater to women. "couples porn" in particular caters to us. Men afterall are who most watch (any type of) porn so that is why it's geared the way it is. In this day and age I think its particularily prudent that porn and the ACTING and the unrealistic-ness of it be brought up when you are having your birds and bees talk with your children. Don't ever let your school system be responsible for the better health of your childrens emotional or sexual health. I say.
