Views On Lesbian Porn
Depictions of lesbianism have been popular in the visual arts, and especially in erotic art, since at least the time of ancient Rome. For much of the history of cinema and television, lesbianism was considered taboo, though since the 1960s it has increasingly become a theme in its own right. First used in softcore movies and erotic thrillers, depictions of lesbianism entered the mainstream in the 1980s. In pornography, depictions of lesbian sex form a popular subgenre, geared toward a mostly male heterosexual audience who, some studies have suggested, are aroused more by lesbian scenes than by heterosexual images.

Famous quotes containing the words views on, views and/or lesbian:
“Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don’t seem to see this.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“Meek young men grow up in libraries, believing it their duty to accept the views which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon, have given, forgetful that Cicero, Locke, and Bacon were only young men in libraries, when they wrote these books. Hence, instead of Man Thinking, we have the book-worm.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Why is it so difficult to see the lesbian—even when she is there, quite plainly, in front of us? In part because she has been “ghosted”Mor made to seem invisible—by culture itself.... Once the lesbian has been defined as ghostly—the better to drain her of any sensual or moral authority—she can then be exorcised.”
—Terry Castle, U.S. lesbian author. The Apparitional Lesbian, ch. 1 (1993)
