porn and women

[robvalue]

As for porn as a whole, I'm sure there are indeed dark sides to it. I would really like it to be better regulated, less taboo, and made so that all involved are treated well with no coercion taking place. It can be hard to know what porn has been produced ethically and which hasn't. Taboo is a big problem, for example in England even adult porn channels you pay for have pretty soft core content. This is just ridiculous. It gives people no option but to look elsewhere for harder stuff (if they are intent on seeing it).

I would guess that the mistreatment of some people by the porn industry is a symptom of larger problems (such as drug abuse, sex trafficking, etc). Vulnerable people are no doubt being exploited.

It's certainly no black and white issue. I don't think trying to ban it would be either possible or beneficial in general; instead we should work together where possible to improve it.

I think porn is harmful to children, boys and girls, in our society.
It'd be nice if some adults could monitor their children on the internet instead of using it as a babysitter.

I agree with this. Inadequate sex education combined with porn for the unprepared mind clearly produces some very unrealistic expectations.
