Pornography

Pornography - good or bad? A bit of both, I'd say.

It comes in many forms - film, art, text - and while not completely necessary (although some may argue that it is), pornography can offer some added excitement to any sex or masturbation session.

The porn industry is massive, which just shows how popular it is. But does this mean it is right?

I think if the people making these porn films are well treated, well paid and enjoy what they do, then where's the harm? They like what they do, we like to watch it.

However, there are many who don't enjoy it; they feel it is all they can do short of prostitution to earn a little bit of money, and are trated badly in the process. Is this right? No. It is difficult to try and justify pornography if so many people, especially women, are being hurt and exploited.

What about us, the consumers? Should we be buying these porn films? Many would say that sex is private, and paying to watch other people have sex is wrong. Watching porn often leads to masturbation, which is fine, but also often chronic masturbation, which isn't so good. It can ruin a person's sex life, men may feel inferior to the ones they see on the screen, and feel they are unable to live up to expectations. Many marriages have ended because of excessive porn use. Not to mention the fact that so many people are addicted to pornography.

In small doses for a bit of pleasure now and then, I think it's fine. But too much will just cause problems.
