Porndemic - Sex in the digital age

Porndemic - Sex in the digital age

Documentary film by Robin Benger, Canada 2009, a comprehensive requisition of internet pornography as a profitable industry ($10 billion dollars/year). With extraordinary access, the movie narrated by Ann-Marie MacDonald goes behind the scenes to reveal the main players in a an old industry, now larger than ever and quickly taking over the latest, biggest delivery system in the history of sex: The Internet. Porndemic looks at the immense financial prosperity of the players and the seeming impossibility of governments and other watch-dog organizations to regulate or just to stem it. An unflinching portrait of the people both living the high life and swept along in the deluge of electronic pornography. We wondered if
the web has gone too far? It is maybe to late to ask. Porn - kinda a taboo in America and much more acceptable in Europe - has quietly reinvented itself on the internet. Thousands of men are finding themselves unable to enjoy sex with real woman, they watch porn every day and it’s only getting worse for the next generation.



Mark Spiegler produces 11 thousand films annually (3 times more than those produced by Hollywood). Larry Flynt "Moses freed Jews, Lincoln freed slaves and I'd just like to free all the neurotics because that's the situation that we're talking about here with the knee-jerk liberals and the uptight conservatives. They need to get a life, and that life consists of human sexuality."

The movie examines an "epidemic" of porn addiction, including teenage cell-phone users, and an oil executive from western Canada who belongs to the fastest growing substance-abuse community in the world, Sex Addicts Anonymous and also speaks to law-and-order experts who think that obscenity on the internet is out of control and beyond the law, and to the blandly confident businessmen who are the new face of corporate, mainstream porn. Larry Flynt: So the Gennie is out of the bottle, I don't think they can put it back. I think they're just going to have to live with it. The film was editing by Greg Hopen with original music by Donald Quan and Paul Sheehan. Actors: Kimwun Perehinec and Max Drorge (virtual world). Craig Elderidge (Derek's voice). Porndemic also speaks to law-and-order experts who think that obscenity on the internet is out of control and beyond the law, and to the blandly confident businessmen who are the new face of corporate, mainstream porn.

Sex in the digital age

When I found out my husband had been watching porn I way so hurt and angry because I thought he liked them and they were better looking than me. But what we did was start to talk about our feelings. I look at porn different now and that’s because we are open and honest with each other and he is only doing this with me and we don’t over do it. Now I can say it just added a dose of spice to our already very good love life but it did take me some time for me to feel comfortable watching porn with my husband.
