Hello,

How do you spot the ethically sourced porn that empowers it's subjects by valuing their abilities as people, and avoid the exploitative porn where people are doing things for money?

This is the result of a discussion/argument that I had earlier in which I was totally out of my depth, having not been a porn consumer since before broadband when downloading a picture took so long that you enjoyed having successfully got a computer to do something more than any actual image. I'm sure things have moved on considerably since then. I also failed to understand the ethical difference between prostitution and porn because it seems it's only legal if you film it, which can't be right.

Please bukkake this thread with your opinions, but not pictures. I want to keep it clean.

If you feel slightly degraded that I want you to perform this act of thinking for me on the internet just so I can enjoy it at home then please don't post. Only do my thinking for me if it will empower you and degrade me instead (unless there is a way this could empower everybody, in which case even better).

ask your wife?
Not as useful a suggestion as it might have been - I only found out during my divorce that she couldn't spot an ethical conundrum if you wrapped it around a cheque for half a house and posted it to her.

Aren't most people in porn for the money? Those participating are seldom doing it for fame or because a normal job is boring.
I've been told some of them are being exploited, despite also being paid. Maybe they get paid a tiny amount compared of the eventual profits and this is somehow morally outrageous (in a way that is different to the checkout staff at Tesco never getting a cut of the profits). I'm not an expert, hence the thread.

It's non genitally modified and 100% orgasmic.

Prostitution isn't illegal. Soliciting is illegal. So there is no great dillemma.
I was going to ask a stupid question about solicitors, then I googled.

So paying for sex is legal, but asking for consent to pay for sex is illegal? And paying for sex without consent is illegal, obviously.

I'm never not going to be confused about this.

Just make sure that if you haven't paid for it she has given permission and you'll be fine.
I think that's the only time I've ever felt genuinely offended on the internet, and that's because I'm only 95% sure you're joking.

If you think there might be a market for it OP, go for it. How hard can it be...
I suspect quite hard for the first half hour, then with decreasing firmness before becoming totally unusable well before it'd be time for the first tea break.




I suspect anyone who, like me, instinctively thought there would be tea breaks during filming shouldn't be in that industry.
