That is truly an ignorant thing to say since you do not know me personally at all or anything about my sex life. Many who share opinions do so because they care about the abuse and the damage the porn industry causes to real human beings. Many of those same people who oppose the degrading world of porn likely have perfectly fine sex lives, enjoying sex with real people they care about, rather than getting turned on by watching performers put on a fake sex scene....which is really perverse and dehumanizing.
I am not cherry-picking. All areas which exploit human beings or are connected with trafficking should be addressed. Personally, I see plenty of problems with modern corporate agriculture. While I certainly don't think agriculture should be ended, changes would be worthwhile. Nevertheless, agriculture and car-washing do not dehumanize people as mere objects to be used solely for another person's perverse sexual pleasure, as pornography does.
Which is different to every other worker in every other industry how, exactly?
If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. The fact other people enjoy it isn't really your problem.
Any industry where people are being exploited or treated unfairly I think needs to be addressed and changed. I am just focused on the porn industry now because I am connected to a local organization which deals with human trafficking and it really grieves me how trafficking is exploding in this country and around the world. From my research there is a link between porn and sex trafficking. Porn increases demand.
Making a person work for many hours in physically severe conditions looks like a more serious situation to me than featuring actors and models in pornography.
It's my understanding that porn has become almost entirely a cottage industry, produced by solo artists who very much choose to do the work. Frankly, I feel the average porn worker is less exploited than the average fast food worker
I know I don't have to watch it. I don't. The problem is that those who do watch it could very well be watching someone who was trafficked and is a sex slave trapped in the industry, therefore supporting and increasing the for human trafficking.
Wrong, For one thing a "Christian Theocracy" is unbiblical. For another, slavery and murder are outside of God's will.
Unbiblical? !!
You haven't read all of your bible.
This is why I need to copy all mine to a digital format before it's too late.
Well there is porn that doesn’t actually portray women as weak or objects, believe it or not. Not all porn is sexist or racist or whatever ist you can think of. Because like all supply and demand, there are people who make the porn they want to see. Sometimes that means what my health teacher dubbed “vegan porn.” LolLike, what you're saying makes sense, except that I think it's easy to underestimate how much deep watching and producing porn gets into a person's mental programming! Especially a teenager's.
Sure, more education about sex is needed, and sure the fact that people watch porn is a symptom of issues of misogyny and gender binarist thinking and so on, but it is also a massive reinforcer of biases, misconceptions and faulty expectations inandofitself.
Many species of infective bacteria produce a sludge around themselves which protects them from the defensive systems of their host. It's all very well to say 'The sludge is harmless, it's the bacteria we need to get rid of!' when actually the sludge, notwithstanding it's being a consequence of bacterial infection which might well be harmless if it was just floating around your body alone, is one of the key means by which the pathogens keep themselves lodged in the body.
Here bacteria are the underlying attitudes, the sludge is porn, and the body is, I guess, society
I don't know what you are talking about with regard to 1000's of rules. The scriptures give no mandate for a "Christian controlled country". Anyway, just because "Christians" on some forum would support the death penalty for LGBTQ doesn't prove anything about the Bible or the will of God.
