    The two are not comparable. It is not up to you to decide what another grown woman does.

    one can judge though

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    And what kind of cuck would be okay with his wife getting seen to by other men just so a production company, director, cameramen, make-up artists and all the rest could line their own pockets with the money spent by (literally) **** all over the internet who will pay to watch said mans wife getting done by someone else?
    When I read or hear "cuck" TBH I immediately go to "oh Christ, not more imported simplistic Yankee Fcukwittery".

    That being said and as much as I can muster my old style "liberal" philosophy, I can't begin to imagine what man would be OK with watching his girlfriend/wife chugging stranger sausage for pay. I'll admit my immediate go to reaction and thought would be; a sap. A man who ended up going out with an ex porn star I'd have more sympathy with, but even then the thoughts of your kids in 2030 or whatever switching on their GoogleVR suit and happening upon their ma being double tapped and spit roasted by steroid freaks, would hardly inspire long term contentment. I suppose I'd return to the same old style "liberal" philosophy and work on the principle of whatever floats one's boat, but it wouldn't float mine. And I make zero apology for that.
    Look at this woman for example. Articulate, intelligent, and working towards a good career in college she decided to subsidize her education with porn.
    and being an "escort". A more "respectable" euphemism for prostitution/whoring/hooking(ditto for looking for a "sugar daddy"), only in better surroundings and indoors, rather than shaking the moneymaker in cheap placcy hot pants on street corners for your next meth fix.
    In the end she left porn for solid and well explained reasons. But she is quick to point out she does not regret pretty much all of what she did in porn. The sole exception being a single video she wished she had not done with "barely legal" girls.
    Well of course she's not going to express regret. No matter what the life choice, bad, good or indifferent, but especially bad, people tend to play internal mind games to justify it. Even when they know it's a dodgy decision. People are naturally psychologically self protective.
    This is an intelligent and articulate woman entirely happy with her choice to do porn, and her reasons for doing it, and even felt sorry for feeling she had to quit porn due to problems in the industry, rather than problems about porn itself.
    Again I'd generally sniff more mindwank there TBH. Plus on further viewing she's got engaged, so is setting some ground rules for him and self justifying her choice to sell her bits for cash. And if he objects he'll be painted as "not a real man" and the like.
    No, she refused to work with a guy because he worked in gay porn. Not because he had gay sex.
    Well.. Maybe, but either way the fact remains that men who have sex with men are at a much higher risk than men who don't, whether there's a video camera involved or not. I'd be surprised if she had agreed to work with a gay actor in his private life that did straight for cash(when many straight porn men do "gay for pay". Though how the hell they do that...)
    And what do people in high risk jobs do in every other industry? They take AS MANY precautions as they can to mitigate and reduce the risks. As is their right. And if in the porn industry that means a person in area A refusing to work with people from area B, because to do so compromises the safety of people in area A...... then that is their right too. No matter how desperate you are to spin it falsely as homophobia.
    I'd fully agree there.
    The term "justify" persupposes something is wrong. Your foundation assumption is at fault. There is nothing wrong with paying people to have sex. There is nothing wrong with filming people who consent. There is nothing wrong with watching people having sex.
    In your opinion. Hate to break it you Nozz, but that's all it is. And that's fine, however working that "everything is groovy" vibe, even with the best will in the world leaves judgement, personal and societal, in a very nebulous position. My opinion would be that maybe we need to question if paying for sex is OK, or filming people with their consent, especially minimum wage 18 year olds living on tips(Note that in general societies with more social safety nets have less porn). Nothing wrong with watching people having sex? Maybe. I've certainly strangled the monkey(sorry gorilla...) to porn, well, naked women with their wobbly bits exposed, the addition of naked male bits puts me off. So I'd be a hypocrite there, but I do acknowledge that hypocrisy, rather than try to explain it away as "it's all cool".

    I think I will let women decide for themselves AND to tell us what they "prefer" rather than have people on internet forums do it not just on their behalf, but en masse on their behalf.
    The corollary of that also supposes that you extend the same understanding to people, men and women, who will see their choices as dodgy. Not people who would seek to publicly admonish of bully them. I mean people who aren't dicks who feel this way. Or does this understanding only go one way?

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Oh God, no you can't SH. Didn't you get the memo? All morals are now equivalences and not in any sense to be pinned down into anything approaching moral positions. It takes little effort to say "it's all cool", it takes more effort to ask questions like "WTF? Maybe it isn't?". For me, moral equivalence is both the easy and lazy way out and abdicates all personal and societal responsibility and agency and judgement.

    The reason a lot of men are ok with watching this filth, is that they subscribe to the religion of 'my body my choice'. Try and express concern about people being degraded, or question aspects of the bohemian lifestyle and you'll get these nuts screaming in your ear "HOW DARE YOU TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY BODY".

    I kind of see the porn industry like the meat industry. I enjoy the product and try not to dwell too much on what goes on in the background :p

    I'm sorry, but if you enjoy seeing people being degraded then you need to see a doctor.

    Yeah, in this case, cuckold/cuck is the appropriate term. ;)

    And you need to call people "morons" who think people should be allowed to
    Do whatever they like with their own body. Are you incapable of expressing yourself in a civilised manner?

    Oh please. So if Kevin Spacey drops the hand on me I'm supposed to let him as anything else is homophobic? There is so much frighteningly wrong with your reasoning.

    Conflating rape with porn. Strawman argument.

    Anyways, I really have to go this time.

    Forcing someone to have sex with someone they don't want to have sex with is the very definition of rape. No strawman here.

    What is wrong with you people. When did I say I would force them to stop?

    To be fair you didn't.

    You saud you'd expect their husbands to stop them.

    I've seen plenty of documentaries on porn, and I am still conflicted. I think that people have every right to have sex on camera if they enjoy it and why the hell not get paid for doing something you enjoy. I could see myself enjoying making amateur porn for fun. Then again there is another part of me that wonders why someone would choose it as a viable career option and I can't help but wonder about their mental health/background. I know people have fetishes but I have seen some things in porn that just cannot be comfortable/enjoyable. Maybe I am just not into any kind of pain related sex so I don't get it, I don't know.

    That's part of it yes, but I would say the bigger picture is that post the sexual revolution where we thankfully threw off some daft notions(though there was arguably some baby with the bathwater going on) and men and women were more free to explore their sexuality and so long as it was consensual all was good in the world. And that's great. I agree with that. However the other side of this revolution was that those who didn't want to swing from chandeliers in masks and basques with French ticklers stuck in their nethers, vibrating, are seen and all too often pilloried as being out of touch and basically "wrong". The sexual revolution was all about choice, so what about those folks whose choice is not to be like that, to be more "old fashioned"?

    Odd, because adolescents wouldnt know who the legion of Mary were or what a creeping jesus goes on like. Maybe we should have you do a tour of secondary schools so they can get an idea of what life was like under the moral majority.
