For all those people proclaiming that there's nothing wrong with porn I have a question-Would you want your daughter doing porn? Because every woman in an adult movie is someone's daughter.
Again, I agree that much of the stigma is from religious basis. But that doesn't deal with what I think is the most troubling thing about pornography, which is the exploitation of the women doing the work. Now, if a woman genuinely desires to work in porn, I have no problem with it. Or if it's an "amateur" couple that produces movies, again I see nothing wrong. But there are many people working in the adult industry who aren't there because of a desire to be doing that work, but because they have no other choice to be able to support themselves. Or because they were forced/cohersed by someone else.
Again, I don't really want to kill anyone's buzz, but my earlier blood diamond analogy is fitting. It's fine to enjoy the product (diamonds or porn), but just be aware that some of those who are involved in the production of those products are being exploited and abused. And after seeing the other side of the coin, I knew I couldn't look at porn the same way.
