Opinion of pornography

[courts]

Porn is a horrible curse and so are functioning libidos.

Haha, it is testimony to the prudishness of this forum that one cannot be certain you are joking here.

It was a drunk Christmas post, what do you think?

it is hardly unique, or even controversial, to state that sexual desire is equivalent to suffering.

it's nice to know that i'm not suffering then.

Good god, this thread is an abortion.

And given how exploitative the sex industry is (Do I really need to post evidence of this?), I can't possibly see it as 'freedom entertainment'. But whatever gentleman... continue your obviously metaphorical wanking.

Ok. Fair point. The sex industry is rather shafty. But nobody is forcing porn actors to perform. It's not sexual slavery, which is a seperate, much more serious problem.

Do I really need to go into an explanation questioning why these exchanges may not always be 'free' even if they are consensual (this is an important distinction)? No choice is free really.

Some people here can't seem to stand their consumer choices being criticized.

the way i like putting it is that sometimes being the sex industry can be 'a choice' in the same way using heroin is 'a choice.'

Not really as that is a physical addiction. Dealing drugs in places where drugs are the only real industry would be a better example imo.

it's not exactly a secret that drug abuse is rampant in the porn industry. not that people can't be in porn because of other dysfunctions in their lives or that your analogy doesn't apply to a lot of people.
