Sensitivity, Sexuality, and Its Subliminal Doings
Sensitivity, Sexuality, and its Subliminal Doings In both Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture and The Porn Myth, Naomi Wolf and Ariel Levy touch on both sex and porn, and how they both have had effects on men and women in today’s society. They both contain arguments fighting how porn has ruined human relationships and how women have given into a raunch culture. In her article, Ariel Levy discusses women and how they have adapted and changed in a sexual way over time. Naomi Wolf discusses how porn has weakened the sexual relationships between men and women.

Wolf, on the other hand, believes that women have lost their battle; by being less than what is expected because porn has made men desensitized to anything but the perfect sexual partner.

In Women & the Rise of Raunch Culture Ariel Levy states how women today see “the Bunny logo as symbols of our liberation” (Levy 1) as she fights to understand why most women believe they have been liberated from sexual oppression by wearing such logos and dressing scandalous. She sees such acts as giving into the cause. In Levy’s case,
