I saw this technique for oral sex on this web site:
Back Him Up
As he's getting undressed, lie on the bed with your head where your feet usually go, rather than perched on the pillows. As he walks toward the bed, slide down so your head is hanging over the bed, grab his buttock cheeks and take his penis into your mouth. Your head should be off the bed as you give him oral sex upside down. He's ultimately in control of the thrusting, but you can use your hands as a guide to speed him up or slow him down. Not only does this look sexy, but it also opens your throat wide so you can take in more of him without gagging.
I've seen this act cited as one of the common acts in porn that is degrading to women; yet, it is being promoted as a sex trick on this site. What do you think?

I see nothing wrong with it as long as the woman is fine with it and I certainly wouldn't say iVillage is abusive to woman by having that on their site.
What's "abusive" about a suggestion? If YOU feel it's "degrading" to women, then just don't do it.
I think that you're missing the point.
When the media criticises porn for being abusive because it is "characterized by physical or psychological maltreatment". They are rarely talking about specific sexual acts being inherently or automatically abusive.
Not one sex act that you care to mention is abusive if the participants are willing, and partaking of their own free will without duress.
Whatever two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is their business, and no one else's. The operative words here are "consenting" and "adults".
One woman's "degrading" is another woman's pleasure. The "media" is there to sell newspapers or magazines...or in the case of TV, to sell commercials. Adults can think for themselves, and if something offends them, that's up to them.....and they shouldn't do it. Obviously, not all adults are offended or feel degraded by porn, since it's a multi-billion dollar industry, some of which is produced specifically for women.
Again what one person feels degraded by another person doesn't.
Yep, we've done it in reverse too and
