Tentative!

Um, the way I see it is that a lot of porn (I have heard) is appallingly violent and degrading for women. This stuff, ideally wouldn't exist and should be banned (how, I don't know, but ideally).

However, the porn that I have seen or enjoyed is not. I wouldn't enjoy porn that is degrading.

So, why is all porn bad? (in some people's opinions?) If it isn't degrading and is equal in its approach, for the entertainment of others, then I don't see any harm.

Is the argument that you don't get the 'good' porn without the bad?

Don't flame me please, I really want this to be a considered conversation.

At the risk of being seen as joyless and prudish (I am neither), I am with Dittany on this. I am no expert on porn but what constitutes 'good' porn? Ok, it might be the kind of porn that looks consensual and, maybe, no one looks to be physically hurt by it, but how can you possibly know that's the case?

I'm trying to distinguish between the violent, degrading stuff and the non-degrading consensual filmed sex.

Grin maybe no one has an opinion on this?
