Is pornography moral?

[Lief 🗽]

There's nothing inherently immoral with either, though of course there can be circumstances where either of the acts are immoral based on other things (one example of which TNF has already alluded to).

I do think internet porn is damaging to people in ways we don't yet quite understand

I definitely agree with this. I think people have too blase and naive a view of pornography and the effect it has on people, especially on children and teenagers. Internet pornography and the huge and instant access to video pornography especially is an entirely new and unprecedented thing, and I'd be surprised if there aren't at least some harmful psychological, social, etc. aspects to it.

I still wouldn't call pornography immoral though.

Both are immoral (abnormal).

Abnormal indeed. It appears the majority of the forum uses consent as the sole determinant of sexual morality. I wish lefties would reject consent based morality in sex, just like they reject the consent based morality that the libertarians use in economics.

You don't need to reject consent based morality to reject libertarian economics. Libertarians just seem to ignore the fact that contracts between two consenting parties can have unconsensual harmful side-effects on third parties.
