An Argument Against Porn That's Tough to Beat

[Sandra Craft]

A lot of the popular porn is pretty boring.

Why?

If I didn't think it would derail the thread, I'd provide a list.  Porn and I are like the guy who hires a beautiful, sultry 20 yr old escort only to have her grandmother turn up in fishnets and go-go boots.

Thank you for that image burned into my head!

Seriously, though. If you get your adult media from one of the more respectable, established companies in the buisness you can be fairly certain that you are not supporting the kind of coersion we are most conserned with here.

...we are most conserned with here.

And by "we", you mean someone who is NOT me, yes..?

Sorry!  I should have realized that comment was not appropriate for the dinner hour.

I think there's still a problem of contributing to coersion since you can never really be completely certain of your porn providers ethics, or if the place you got the information that they were respectable from was reliable.  Maybe it's all a tissue of lies, or maybe they really do their best to be above board with their talent but there can always be slip ups and bad apples that aren't caught for awhile.

As I understand it, the basic question is are you willing to accept a percentage of doubt about consuming a questionable product, or do without it, esp. given that it's a luxury item and not a necessity.  Honestly, if this truly bothered me, I'd do without commercial porn (not a huge sacrifice for me in any case) but it does open up quite a can of worms on all the other non-essential stuff that would need to be jettisoned to avoid hypocrisy.

Oh, I have my morals. They do not envelope every loser in the galaxy though, not out of malice or misanthropy , just because I don't care about people who do not have an impact on my life. Porn actors - legitimate or otherwise - do not.
