Anne Koedt and Andrea Dworkin had written about how men use sexual practice to demean women. Koedit had used orgasm and Dworkin used pornography. They both support each other in that they explain how men only see women as objects to please them. In Koedt’s essay she had point out why men maintain the myth. One of them was that men maintain this myth because “the best physical stimulant for the penis is the woman’s vagina. In Dworkin she had used the industry of pornography. In her essay she had written that “more and more male consumers are eager to spend more and more money on pornography.� So what the writers seems to say is that women are used for sexual pleasure for men. It didn’t matter how they got it. Whether it is an actual woman or a movie or images of a woman in sexual position men look and enjoy. They are seen as objects.
They also point out how certain objects could demean a woman. A vagina, in Koedt’s essay, was used to demean women. If they could not have a vaginal organism then something was wrong with them. However, that is not true and women should not be demeaned by this. In Dworkin women are used in pornography. If a man, who watches porn, was asked, did he like the women in the pornography or if he knew the girl or woman in it. Would he answer yes to both questions or will he answer no. The answer would most likely be no. They may like her because her body brings him sexual pleasure but he wouldn’t know her. That just supports the idea of women being seen as just objects to please men. Heterosexual men do not want to see men on men action. They would prefer women over men. Heterosexual men do not want men. Men do not have the sexual parts that women do. Men do not have the vagina other men need. This vagina is so important that Dworkin had said in her essay that “pornography sells and promotes it.�
