Melbourne University porn ban angers Ormond College students

Students have been banned from accessing pornography at the University of Melbourne’s largest residential college, sparking a fiery campus debate on sexual freedoms and censorship.

Ormond College has blocked access to adult sites on its Wi-Fi network, stating pornography does not allow people at a “formative stage of life” to develop a “healthy sexuality”.

But some students have reacted angrily to the move, arguing they pay $200 a semester for college Wi-Fi, and in the privacy of their own rooms they should be allowed to access legal adult sites.

In a recent student newsletter defending the move, college master Dr Rufus Black said pornography was exploitative and “presents women primarily as sex objects who are a means to the end of male pleasure”.

Dr Black, an ethicist and theologist, argued that allowing the college’s 400 students to access porn on its network would be condoning the objectification of women. 

“Pornographic material overwhelmingly presents women in ways that are profoundly incompatible with our understanding of what it is to treat people with respect and dignity,” he said.

He maintained that even same-sex pornography was treating another person as a “means to an end”, and that porn was addictive.

“The way that it functions is that it desensitises viewers so that they need to consume more of it or more extreme versions to achieve the same level of arousal.”

However, first year law student Thibaut​ Clamart​, 24, wrote a newsletter response objecting to the ban, saying it was a “moralising statement” and that not all pornography was demeaning.

He told The Sunday Age the ban was so broad it included any form of erotica or sex education, and many students felt their freedom of expression was being limited.

“We all agree there is an issue with the current state of mainstream porn but banning it is not the answer. It won’t educate people, it is condescending and paternalistic,” he said. 

“If their argument is that it’s about respecting women and enabling young people to discover their sexuality without having the repressive influence of porn, that makes the assumption that looking at porn is going to perpetuate those attitudes and you’re going to behave like a porn actor.”

In 1991 Ormond College was embroiled in scandal when two female students accused the then college master Dr Alan Gregory of sexual harassment, an incident which ignited fierce debate on sexual politics on campus.

The case was later documented in Helen Garner’s controversial book The First Stone, with Garner accusing the two complainants of “puritan feminism”. 

Dr Black said the porn ban was not prompted by student complaints but was informed by a “well-held view that pornography depicts women for the gratification of male sexuality”.

Sex educator Maree​ Pratt, who was invited to talk to Ormond students last month supported the college’s stance and said there were high levels of gendered aggression in pornography, with 88 per cent depicting physical aggression such as gagging and choking, and 48 per cent including verbal aggression.

“It also conveys a range of problematic messages around pleasure, consent, body image and sexual health. Pornography is shaping young people’s sexual understandings, expectations and practices,” she said. “A study last year from the UK showed a normalisation of coercive heterosexual anal sex among 16 to 18-year-olds.”

Rachel Withers, president of the Melbourne University Student Union, said as long as students were accessing legal sites what they viewed in the privacy of their own rooms should be their decision.

“I would personally prefer to see colleges tackling issues around respect for women’s bodies and consent through educational programs and ensuring students receive comprehensive information on consent as part of their college orientation,” she said.

Dr Black rejected claims the ban was a restriction on freedom of expression. “We’re not in any way restricting their ability to do what they want with their own personal resources but the college’s internet is a common resource therefore what it gets used for is a question of community values.”
