PORNOGRAPHY AND BEAUTY STANDARDS
Pornography has raised the standards of beauty to impossible levels. After men watch porn, their sexual standards of beauty are raised and they then expect all women who they sexually engage to look just like the actresses from the porn. Women in pornography are often portrayed as females with large breasts and no pubic hair, so when any body else does not possess these characteristics, they are deemed ugly and unnatural. When women do not match these standards of beauty, they tend to have low self-esteem.
How do women handle these high beauty standards?
Once women fall victim to these beauty standards, they feel they must closely abide. One significant aspect is their pubic hair. Many women abide by the standards of beauty by shaving or waxing frequently. When women shave or wax, they feel feel "well-groomed", "hot", and "clean". So what happens when they do have pubic hair? They said they feel gross and embarrassed. One activist expressed such strong expectations of women and their body hair when she visited a West Coast University. Many of the females at this lecture explained how their significant others often complain when have yet shaved or waxed, and one female student stated that her boyfriend got her a waxing kit for Valentine's Day. When the activist did the lecture at an East Coast Ivy League school, one of the students claimed that she does not shave in a timely manner because when she went out on the weekends, she was too embarrassed for hookup sex.
Shaving or waxing one's pubic hair was first initiated with porn stars but now, it is a sign of pre-pubscence, which many people, such pedophiles, prefer. This is related to child pornography and the idea of representing innocence and purity.
Many women believe that living up to these standards of beauty is the only way to attract a man, which is disturbing because there is so much more to women than that.

BREASTS/BOOBS
Another aspect of pornography that also seems to influence women's standards of beauty are breasts. It is no surprise that men are often obsessed with breasts, especially large ones. The need to satisfy their partner often leads women to getting breast implants. Women who naturally have smaller breasts are then more likely to have lower self-confidence due towards the favoritism towards larger breasts. Once women get breast implants, it causes a pattern where women want to keep getting them bigger and bigger.
in 2007, breast implant surgery was the most popular cosmetic surgery in America with a total of 347, 524 women receiving the procedure. Many women do get breast implants for reasons other than to satisfy their partners, such as to correct a bodily condition like micromastia, to make the breasts more symmetrical in size and shape, or to restore their breasts like mothers who breastfed frequently and receptively. People who have low self-esteem and a fragile sense of self, they are recommended to not great implant surgery because if they are already not satisfied with who they are, they will have high expectations for their bodies and expect a transformation. This tends to be correlated to suicidal thoughts and tendencies.
