Should porn be legal?

[Peter the Lefty]

Yes (normal, gay).  However, any posting of pornographic videos or images wherein one party might not consent of be aware (I.e. Revenge porn) should be illegal, as should any and all porn that depicts rape and/or bestiality.

what do you mean by 'depicts rape'?



in general I'll echo Lief, porn really can fck with the head, particularly with the male head, but any attempt to regulate it with guns and policemen and etc is somewhere between hapless and hopeless.

If the scenario is one of rape.  Even if the porn actress has consented, if rape is the premise, it should be illegal.

Why? If a women consents to participate in a rape scene, why shouldn't she be allowed to do what she wants with her body? Do you want to ban rape scenes in movies and video games as well?

Seriously. What about things that are rape-like, like BDSM? Should that be illegal in porn? Illegal in real life?

If the character the woman is playing has consented to be tied up/etc., then fine.  But to allow people to get sexual pleasure from a rape scenario (which is what separates it from a rape scene in a movie) is not acceptable and inadvertently encourages it.
