No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

There is too a problem with lust. In our faith my husband and I believe lust is wrong!
That means that you two have a problem with it.

Dont say my husband experiences this...you can fathom that since you lust.
I do not doubt that your husband has a problem with his lust.
We see a big problem with it, like I said my husband is a strong minded person...you would have to know him to know what Im talking about.
Well, then mentioning him for an argument here doesn´t make much sense, in the first place.
He throws out bad magazines he finds at work that are other peoples...thats how much he hates it and how strong he can stand up for what he believes in...he turns away when a girl walks in w/ short shorts....or anything....
I´ll ignore the illegality of your husband´s actions (it would be off topic). What all this - at best - tells me is that he does not embrace his lust, and I won´t dispute this. The obsession, however, with which he apparently has to avoid dealing with his lust tells me that his lust has a particular huge impact on him.

Technically speaking, of course pornography 'exploits'. But I fail to see why it exploits people any more than I am 'exploited' as I spend my summer doing monotonous warehouse jobs for minimum wage. At least in porn the money's better and you're doing something you love. ;)

Why doesn't he just ignore them? I mean he obvviously doesn't lust so i think he has no problems with them being there.

he turns away when a girl walks in w/ short shorts....or anything....

Again why does he do this? If he doesn't lust then he'll have no problem with what any lass is wearing, after all it's only the human body.

It sounds like you husband is trying to reassure you that he doesn't lust because he loves you.

We women are not perfect either. Even when i thought like you do now i found myself checking guys out even when i was with my partner. I told myself i was wrong and terrible for it. I mean don't you even do that? You can't be that pure!

There's a fetish website I know that has a section dedicated to making of style documentaries about their work. Most of them are quite fascinating and everyone involved in them seems to be a) very professional and b) enjoying what they are doing.

As a side note, recent documentary snippets have been about the companies purchase and renovation of the San Fransisco Armoury. Hardly explotive.

Certainly porn can be exploitive but so can any other business.

Is this what you believe or do have any evidence of this?

I think like any other job industry, some actors/actresses will be doing what they love and some will be in it for the money.

Like some people love working in shops and some people need the cash.

Though i think its more likely in porn they'll be doing it for both. I doubt all are 100% happy though.

Pornography industry propaganda is not evidence.

To do have any independent evidence?


b) enjoying what they are doing.

rapist enjoying what they are doing.

So do some murderers, but the difference between those and what other people are enjoying (the legal stuff) is that rape and murder harm others and you can end up with prison.

Porn is different and if someone is raping someone and then passing it off as porn it shouldn't be there at all.

Porn should be consenting adults only.

You are missing the point: We are not willing to tolerate the sort of pornography that involves rape. We are not willing to tolerate dinner invitations if they involve rape, either.

I have no idea hpw to get evidence. Why don't you go and find some actors or a studio and ask them. Go to a strip bar and ask the performers.
And i never said that, i said Porn should be consenting adults only.

Im trying to emphasise my point that im ok with porn if it's consenting adults.

Even if i had evidence you'd turn it down because it wouldn't be enough beyond going and asking them.

are you saying you have no independent evidence of which Pornography exploits?

So than which one of your psychic powers are you using to decide which Pornography exploits and which Pornography doesn’t exploits?

Ok my only answer is:

Go find out for yourself!

Since I don´t have psychic powers the question whether a particular product of the pornography industry involved exploitation is as hard to answer for me as the question whether a particular product of any other industry involved exploitation.
