porn and women

[Brian37]

Do you think pornography generally has harmful effects on women in our society? 

Curious to know people's opinions.

Nothing is ever either/or.

Forced sex is a crime. Yes that can be harmful. No, one should not be exposing underage to it either. 

Outside that, consensual sex on film no. Not by itself. I do not think adult women consenting to sex on film for money should be vilified or demonized. Nobody talks about male porn stars in the same manor. 


Any kind of work can be exploited, not just sex. But sex between consenting adults should not be vilified. 

I would say any sex, on camera or not, even in boyfriend or spouse situations has to be consensual.

Where women really get hurt, is in the stigma of sex itself. Boys and men far to often get sold the idea of conquest and then when a female does the same even if consensual they get demonized and vilified.

Lots of the female blaming has it's roots in the religions of antiquity.
