To believe it is hypocritical to support and use porn as long as it's only made by other people's children?

I am shocked and dismayed how much porn has become normalised in our society. I am even more saddened by how many "cool feminists" think it is just a bit of harmless fun.

Too many people (even cool mums on Mumsnet) seem to see porn as a convenience to be enjoyed at their will at the click of mouse or swipe of their screen. However they clutch their pearls in horror if you ask them Would you be happy if your daughter were to become a porn star?

'Zaeem - exactly. If someone said they liked to watch - I don't know - black (or whatever racial group) people being humiliated as entertainment, then this would be rightfully condemned'

Not in porn.

Racism is rife in porn.

Also, the girl who was abused. Turns out its not uncommon for women in porn to have been abused.

It’s as if some people think nobody ever masturbated without porn. Or people were unaware of their sexuality before porn.

Still waiting for an answer to my question re- denial that porn can be triggering for rape / invest victims.

Dont use it. Don't want dc doing it.

I read erotica. Happy for dc to write it, i used to.

What has struck me like a ton of bricks on this thread is the sheer entitleme and privilege of the Category 1 identified above .. "Giles and I have absolutely no problem using porn but we would never want our own darling Mordatella Peppermint to go into it this grubby business. Thankfully there is a steady stream of others peoples daughters to provide this service for our viewing pleasure."

At the end of the day, what a grown adult decides to do for work is their business. As a parent, I'd be a bit disappointed, but it would not be my decision. I would encourage safety, but there's really nothing I could do about it - and I certainly wouldn't make them feel like shit about doing it, if that's what they wanted to do.

You would encourage safety

That's nice!

Fraggling · 15/07/2019 15:44

I would be worried sick tbh

SmileEachDay · 15/07/2019 16:42

I would encourage safety
How?

Would you be at all worried about why your daughter had come to that decision? Worried about the possibility of porn being just one thread in the wider web of prostituted women? Worried about physical injury? Any concerns about the damage the prostituting of women does on an individual and class level?

No?

I’d love to know how you would encourage safety for your Dd working in the porn industry? Maybe she could wear PPE while at work ? Gloves, goggles and a disposable apron to avoid contact with body fluids ?
