Again, porn isn't inherently bad. When it's just amateur stuff, or if the actors involved genuinely are enjoying their work, and didn't "fall into" it, then there's nothing wrong with it. But those cases aren't the norm.

I'd have to agree. As a female, there are times when I enjoy porn... but most of the porn I look for is ethically produced. Yes, this type of porn exists! I have one vid that is a real couple (both porn stars, but married in real life) having hot sex... now, I KNOW those people are into it, and no one is getting exploited there.
So I don't think you have to give up porn... you just have to look for higher quality stuff. It's like choosing to eat organic food or refusing to shop at Walmart... it's all connected, if you ask me. Choose responsible consumption that doesn't contribute to oppressing people and it reduces your guilt.
