Pornography

Regarded as immoral by some but a perfectly healthy and proper industry by others pornography has often been contested over its moral status.

Religion has always defined pornography as immoral and forbidden and this has helped its notoriety and appeal increase until it has reached the position it is in now. Submitting to the will of the flesh has been deemed weak and sinful and distracts people from other, more important and better tasks. It links closely with the topic of masturbation as they go hand in hand if you'll excuse the pun.

Some object to pornography as they see it as exploitation of woman. These people are usually feminists and see pornography as placing women in a submissive position to men and therefore not right. The vast majority of people in pornography are women and there is alot of money involved in the business. This adds to the feeling of a cold, corporate climate.

The vast majority of men do not view pornography as exploitation of women. They do not consider the matter this deeply. However they would object if they thought the woman was being forced to participate, she has to be consenting.

On the whole I don't believe pornography to be bad. If it takes place between consenting people and they are fully aware of what they are geting in to then I have no objection to it providing it does not invlove children or animals.
