00:00And wouldn't you enjoy having sex with someone who's really enjoying the act together with you?
00:18Beat us. Rape us. Blame us after they rape us because of our gender.
00:30At this point of time, unfortunately, most women in India would not even know what pleasure means to them.
00:38Young people wanted information from a source that was a trusted source, that was fact-based,
00:44that was fun and engaging and entertaining, that was non-judgmental, that was open and honest.
00:50For the most part, pornography that is put out there has been produced keeping the male gaze in mind.
00:56It is really disrespectful of women. It comes with all kinds of wrong information,
01:06also in terms of what great sex can look like, what expectations you can have with your partner.
01:12Young people need to understand that what you're going to consume in pornography is not really what real sex looks like.
01:26Growing up as a girl child in India means being touched, being groped and being sexually harassed.
01:32The experience of almost every girl in India is that they are being sexually harassed.
01:38No matter what socio-economic background you come from, no matter how educated you are,
01:44but if you're in public space, people are going to stare at you.
01:50People just feel staring is a part of life or somebody groping you or touching you or harassing you on the street is a lived reality.
01:56The world is dying of hunger and you're busy working on orgasms.
02:02Why is there this comparison and does working on this issue mean that hunger is not an important issue?
02:08Recognizing an individual's right to sexual pleasure is a human right.
02:14I think we need to be able to understand and address it in that way.
02:20Healthy relationships are for everyone, orgasms are for everyone, pleasure is for everyone and let's just say cheers to female pleasure.
