And maybe you don't have it coming. Do I answer to you? Do I have to explain myself to you?
This is a debate/discussion forum sweetheart. The objective is to explain and contrast opinions, not to make absolute statements and then insult everyone who questions you.
If you don't like people questioning your opinions what the hell are you doing here?
Did I insult anyone? No I didn't.
Easy there tiger... err lion.
By that CC I take it you simply do not want to or do not feel you can adequately convey to us your reasoning? Well, I can sort of understand your reservations, however I find it difficult to relate to the idea that the existence and use of something by one person degrades all people or would diminish the symbolic or religious 'value' of any sacrament between you and your God.
May I ask you this then: What of paying to view a live sex act? What of buying imagery that features stylised depictions of sex (such as animations)? What of masturbation itself with a toy that was purchased - in each of these cases, sexual gratification is sought with the assistance of material goods which are acquired - is that diminishing the 'sacrament' of sex in your eyes?
That's because the act itself is illegal. Where exactly would one find and purchase these 'illegal' productions? Certainly not the legal outlet that the vast, vast majority of pornography comes from. Underground? Well, you can find drugs, sex, killings, and generally anything else you could want from that source as well. That's why it's underground. And illegal.Terrywoodenpic said:Some of the Productions are by definition illegal, such as the use of children or rape.
Dubious? What issues do you have with legal pornography? I'd say at best it's a way for a couple to make money for simply recording something they enjoy doing together.Terrywoodenpic said:At best the moral status is dubious at worst depraved criminality.

As pornography and the sex industry is very largely controlled by Criminal organisations, I doubt there are many un-tainted porn producers.
Because you see porn on the web do not be fooled that it is all voluntary.
Source please.As pornography and the sex industry is very largely controlled by Criminal organisations, I doubt there are many un-tainted porn producers.
Source please.
No she didn't.Cynthia Cypher has given sufficient sources for now.
There are so many court cases and convictions, one would need to be in a state of denial not to know about the ramifications of the sex industry, and the entrapment of women.

I wish she'd explain or define 'sexual exploitation.' I honestly don't think it includes pornography... None of her articles are talking about pornography; they deal with forced prostitution and human trafficking. Which any sane person would be against.Cynthia Cypher said:http://www.uri.edu/artsci/wms/hughes/hughes.htm
