You can't stop prostitution or porn...you can only drive it underground.

Darkness said:Don't care enough to go down that road. If I can prove my point by the same logic that says two consenting adults should not be allowed to fight to the death, I am satisfied with that.
Darkness said:No, I do not get it. I find liberal/libertarian theory to be absurd and morally bankrupt.
Darkness said:How exactly is not allowing pornography-for-profit controlling our individual rights completely?
Darkness said:Forgive me for not addressing every single point raised. I do not posses unlimited time. First of all, I am not sure there should be an age floor for drinking. Italy has no legal limit, if I am not mistaken, and my Italian sociologist professor tells me that students do not drink nearly as much alcohol as we do in the United States.
Secondly, I am less inclined to raise the driving age to 18, because driving has socially valuable outcomes. That is, an 18-year-old being able to drive a car allows him or her to commute to school or commute to work. I do not see such valuable outcomes with watching pornography. In fact, I see many more dangers than positives in the viewing of pornography.
Now onto driving, which is far more interesting: You simply forget that a driver has a big responsability in his hands. Surely there are positives points for being able to drive a car, however cars are dangerous machines. Many people die because of car accidents. If someone is given the responsability of driving a car, then why wouldn't this person be allowed to do porno movies?
You can actually die or kill people while driving. This is a fact. Driving has a much much much higher life risk than pornography. So why would you allow someone, who doesn't have the maturity to take part in porno movies, to drive a car?
I believe I have already stated that the intention of my analogies was not to say that all pornography is akin to violence. I am merely seeking to establish that most of us put restrictions on the limits of "adult consent."
Track down "Dissociation among women in prostitution" by Colin A. Ross, Melissa Farley and Harvey L. Schwartz. It does not with pornography, but it does investigate stripping, which is a more mild form of sex work than pornography.
I honestly have to do more research into pornography. My primary focus is on prostitution and sex trafficking. However, it given the high levels of PSTD, child sexual abuse, etc. in women who work on low-budget pornography (and the correlation with prostitution), I would be very surprised if the same problems were not present in more mainstream pornography (i.e. the kind that is packaged and wrapped).
...I can find no positive values in pornography...
Is she single?
I feel like nobody actually reads what I actually write. I have already answered your question. The ability to drive a car has positive values to it, while I can find no positive values in pornography, so therefore the risks have no benefit, like they have with driving.

I have my share of skills in that area, but my name is inspired by this action!
