Re: Your thoughts on adult businesses
Great topic.
I agree with what everyone has said so far. One of the biggest arguments that I hear against porn is that it chews up the participants and spits them out 5 years later. In my opinion, what industry doesn't do this? Look at the baby boomers and their rapidly disappearing pensions. They put in 50 years at a company and then when it comes time for them to recieve their pensions the company's reduce or even cut them all together! I'd much rather get laid for 5 years and come to the realization that this isn't a long term plan than put in 50, lose my earning potential and come to the same realization.  My father is a 40 year Delta pilot who is no longer legally allowed to fly because of his age and he now has to do insurance appraisals because Delta decided pensions were not profitable.
What about the argument that porn teaches us that women are a piece of meat? I think that there is some validity to this statement (doesn't give me the right to dictate to other's that they are not allowed to watch it though.) What's your argument against the "meat" argument? |

I often wonder whether those who make that argument have solicited the opinions of the actors, to determine whether they feel they are being exploited. |

|  I'm not referring to the actors. I'm talking about the cosumer. There's rarely any love, personality or even dialogue in porn these days. As bad as it sounds, in porn movies women are sperm recepticles. So if men watch enough of it, do men stop seeing women as people and just as recepticles? And do women who watch enough of it start thinking that their place in society is on their backs?
That's the only argument against porn that I think carries any validity.
What do you guys think?

What do you guys think? well, does watching a movie about killing people make me or others that watch it go out and kill?
I think one must give others enough credit to be able to discern between fiction, fantasy if you will, and reality.
