To Each His Own, I Suppose

I just Googled "movies pregnant" or something like that, and WOW there is a lot of pregnancy porn in the world. How naïve of me to think that I would be presented with lists of mainstream movies featuring pregnant characters.

Here's the deal. Pornography doesn't bother me in the least. As long as everyone involved is a consenting adult, who am I to judge? I won't get into a big, long conversation here about my opinions regarding the arguments centered around the exploitation/objectification of women or how some members of society have an unhealthy addiction to this kind of entertainment. Basically, I believe in the rights provided by the First Amendment. And it just so happens that our founding fathers have inadvertently afforded me and my fellow Americans the ability to find a plethora of pregnancy porn on the worldwide web. So be it.

HOWEVER

I find pregnancy porn really sad and depressing and not sexy at all. A pregnant woman who has unprotected sex with a stranger is putting not only herself but also her baby at risk. And that's just awful. Then, to compound the situation, the women featured in these movies have agreed to take a (probably) small amount of money in exchange for allowing the incident to be recorded and published on the Internet. Oh, it's so sad to me! It's kind of like seeing a pregnant woman smoking a cigarette-- I feel really confused by it and unable to understand how that lady can have so little regard for the life inside of her and for her responsibility as a mother.

Can you imagine what it would be like to find out that your mom made an adult movie while you were in her belly? I think my brain would explode. Then again, these ladies are probably on a certain path in life that is just full of bad decisions, so maybe it wouldn't be that surprising to some people to learn that kind of information about their dear mama.

I'm sure there must be some pornography out there featuring a pregnant woman that wouldn't make me feel grossed out. Maybe some amateur stuff featuring real couples. I mean, okay, some people are exhibitionists. That's maybe unusual but it's better than what I imagine the situation is for these ladies featured in the movies that popped up during my Google search.

Thanks, Google. Now I feel uncomfortable. No more Google for me today.
