RE: The Sad Reality for Young Women Entering the Porn Business in the United States
In ancient times also there was this service. There are those who have an uncontrollable desire for this kind of stimulation. In order that they not disturb the ladies in a society who are married and serving their husbands nicely there is a class of women who will perform this service. Seen in that way it is actually a valid service. It can keep society peaceful. It is not the best occupation but it is something that actually needs to be done by someone. Unfortunately in the present times like everything else it is mismanaged by malevolent personalities. Just my take on it.
Why is there not a class of men who perform this service to save the gentlemen of society, who are serving their wives nicely, from being disturbed?
Porn doesnt "need to be done". No one "needs" porn. But lots of people are harmed by it, including those who use it.
Good question. I was sharing what I found in my studies from ancient Vedic civilizations and how they dealt with this lust problem in order keep society somewhat peaceful. Prostitution was a recognized profession. No one really wanted their daughter to take it up though. But it was not illegal and run by an underground group of criminals. Lust is not something that can be stopped by rules and laws. It is coming from within the heart. So it has to be recognized and dealt with as civilly as possible. That was how the ancients dealt with it.
Out of curiosity, how are viewers harmed? Are they harmed according to your perception or is there a real health impact on them? If people decide that they want to stay in an industry and voluntarily perform activities that some people may enjoy (and others find horrific), I don't understand why it isn't their right to do so?
Well there is a whole generation of men who are having trouble getting it up because they are so porn saturated that they cant enjoy actual sex. Mass impotence is a fairly serious health issue.
Beyond that , porn promotes unhealthy attitudes towards women, young women report increasing pressure to participate in what would have been quite marginal sexual activities 20 years ago, but have now become expected within fairly casual sexual relationships.
Of course people have the "right" to stay in the industry, I'm questioning whether that industry should exist. But its an industry - by definition ist not voluntary because they are paid....and without that financial coercion, they would not chose to do it.
How is an industry not voluntary? I am not trying to be sarcastic; I am trying to understand where your argument is coming from. Regarding mass ED - here are two studies/articles on that:

Another item, how is a wage financial coercion? That doesn't make any sense. Stealing from someone if they don't do something is financial coercion; wages are monies paid for a service.
Also, porn induced sexual exploration is not strictly a male phenomena (see links below). Sexual tastes vary over time. That people expect or prefer certain acts now does not make them bad. What existing previously sexually is not somehow authentic (e.g., pederasty in Ancient Greece).

I think my biggest disagreement with you is not about whether it is good or bad (that is a totally subjective preference - some people will be supportive of porn, others will find it repugnant. Where I disagree is that it is largely coercive. It isn't. Some people make choices they later regret; that, however, does not make it definitively coercive. Some people are coerced into porn, but some people are also coerced into making clothes; that doesn't making clothing a coercive instrument.
