RE: Is Porn Good For You?

in #speakyourmind7 years ago

Here I will have to play devil's advocate. "Porn" is not a monolithic entity that can be discussed in the terms you do. It is my position that there is nothing inherently unhealthy about porn - neither in being involved in the production of pornographic materials nor in their consumption. I could point to many examples of ways that the mainstream stereotype of the porn industry and of porn watchers has changed and evolved recently but even that would be buying into the notion that this issue hasn't always been this nuanced. It has. Will be happy to discuss more when I have a moment - I have some fun links to share :)

Thank you, for stopping by @beelzebub and sharing your thoughts. So, you're saying (for argument's sake) that some porn is better than other and I don't see the need to argue with that. But, since this is not a theoretical issue, nor an aesthetic one, I will go so far as to say that all porn erodes our moral compass, until we are left at sea, without bearings. And, in the dramatic formulation of I.B. Singer, "a morally neutral human being is a monster."

I look forward to checking out links you're sharing. Cheers, Yahia "Not The Prude I Sound" Lababidi ;)
