Obviously the financial gain is the motivator. It's usually high because it means a lot to people. That doesn't mean to say the act is comparable to every other way of making money. That would be to hide from the consequences of the act.

You assume everyone is so fragile that doing porn would damage them, and as far as consequences go there are a great many jobs with far more severe consequences than porn, yet I wouldn't think you would let that taint your opinion of it.

It really seems to me that you're just personally uncomfortable with the idea and you're trying to turn that into a problem for the porn actors, I really don't think they view things the same as you, so you can't expect them to have the same feelings towards it.

Quote:Part of you is your potential for intimacy with another person. In my mind, it's the most precious possession a person has. To sell that is to lose it. However you do that.

That's a complete crock, Firstly, you're projecting your values again, Secondly, I bet the majority of porn stars have fairly normal home lives with their partners, selling sex does not necessarily mean that you can't be intimate with others - I don't doubt that some people have suffered negatively from it, but I've seen nothing to indicate that this is a common occurrence - And it's not like porn would have the worst effect on intimacy either, being overweight would be more detrimental.

Quote:If you observe people involved in it, you'll see that is foremost in their thinking.

Evidence?

Quote:It can be a lucrative profession for little effort. Easy money. That's why people do it.

Sure, and some of them even enjoy it.

Quote: Personally, I wouldn't work in a shop that sold pornography, and that's not because of my religious convictions. I don't want to be pulled down by the association.

Good thing they aren't you then no?

Quote:Sex is great, and should be respected for what it is.

And porn is a legitimate business involving consenting adults who can make their own decisions.

Quote:Pornography is anti sex. It de-humanises it for profit.

Anti-sex? Lol

To you maybe, I don't have a problem with it, porn does absolutely nothing to diminish sex for me and it doesn't change what it's like to have an intimate relationship and some times it's a good mix, but mostly it's just something to fap to.
