Yeah, I always thought it was kind of hilarious how paying for sex is illegal...


...unless you happen to film and distribute it. Odd logic, that. :blink:

As long as it's between the prostitute and his/her customer(s) and everyone involved is a consenting adult, I see no problem with the act of prostitution in and of itself. There should be mandatory use of protection (think condoms - lots of condoms) and mandatory medical screening to reduce the spread of diseases, but the transaction itself should be a private affair.

Thou sayest.

I'm also not desensitizing myself and/or forcing myself to need mental re-creations of porn to get off during actual sex here in reality.

Unless you're in some parts of Nevada. :lol:


And parts of Europe. And Australia. Considering how it's a victmless crime why is it illegal anywhere?

I'm not sure. On one side of the argument, I can enjoy it..., and it's effin' addictive on the other side of the question.

I'll go negative and say that it's bad. People need to go out and get laid, instead of just watching.


My guess is, most people actually do both. Sometimes at the same time.

Porn is good, but it goes by the same rules as sex does : Not ok if non-consensual.
"I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, and as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged on to a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature’s wonders: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that’s when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

I find it funny how people always are snobbish like that when it comes to porn, yet still rely on so many other kind of stimulation of their "interior life", such as books, films, music, etc. and not least of all caffein and/or alcohol.

I personally find it distasteful. Its not an industry I would work in, or encourage anyone else to work in, or financially support. However, if its between consenting adults and no one is harmed, its not something worth worrying about, just a matter of personal likes and dislikes. If some people like porn, and wish to view it or make it, that's there choice, of course.

We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

Depends. Define "harm," and to what degree.
