The subject of pornography has become very sensitive, nobody really wants touch it. The reason for this is if one is against it he is labelled as orthodox and if he supports it, he may give a morally wrong impression of himself/herself . This posting is merely to give people something to think about.
---
In the porn industry women are not humans with feelings and emotions. They are treated like objects to degrade. It is difficult to imagine that a male who watches porn regularly will not have his vision of sex and women impaired.
Feminist movements warn that sexual offences against women may rise (Although in Netherlands and Japan, where pornography is legal, crimes have gone down).
Or one may say, “Let’s focus on morality of pornography, just the morality!”
An opponent of porn may say, “What manner of human beings can possibly transform themselves into nothing more than a whiny whore bitch or a mangy dog stud and call themselves career porn 'stars'? How self-dignity and self-respect can be held so cheap is a capital crime against mother nature in itself!”
On the other hand there are the people who think there is nothing wrong in it. They proclaim it is an exploration of ones sexuality and discovering ones true sexual identity.
While opponents retort that this discovery can easily be made by studying decent sex educational books or programmes.
Who are these people who object? Have they undergone some very strict cultural brainwashing? Are they from a traditional or religious background and consider viewing and participating in pornography – a sin?
The actors in such films have chosen their professions with great consideration; they could be highly educated people and decent citizens. They know exactly what they are doing, what they will gain and achieve and what they will lose. They are not tramps. They have a right to chose, it is their choice!!
Who are these people who object? Can they be people who have had some abnormal upbringing or are they ordinary people just like you and me, who are trying to understand where pornography stands from a moral perspective?
The pro-pornographers seem to have the last word when they say, “It is the courts who allowed it and they have allowed it after considering it from every possible aspect.”
They are right ofcourse, but somewhere something seems to have gone terribly wrong as society is splurged with what seems uncensored pornography. An aspect seems to have been overlooked and it appears it has something to do with some basic level of decency and indecency, some basic level of moral and immoral behaviour, pleas for which have been made but appear to have been stifled by the weight of excessively lenient and liberal judgements of the courts, while those in power look on in cold irresponsible detachment.
