Well yes, relevant, in so much as I'm interested in how you research such companies and how you came to your conclusions about "ease" of sex in the monogamous Judeo-Christian culture etc.
I suppose I'm always interested in how people make ethical decisions. There's always the off-chance I might learn something
Oh, that's different.
I make my decisions based on the extent to which I a) follow my will, and b) interfere with other peoples. Now, therefore, in this situation, while Girls Gone Wild and the exploitation of drunk college kids is highly distasteful, Belladonna Productions - run by a woman who early in her career had a nervous breakdown on a 20/20 special about inappropriate contentography, who now makes fetish inappropriate contentography and calls for "women, any shape, size, or color, or anyone halfway there via surgery" to audition for her - is fine, because the director/owner really loves what she creates, and I've seen enough of the bloopers to see that there's a positive, fun atmosphere on the sets.
Similarly, I eat a lot of free-range, organic, and fair trade foods. I try to make my own clothes (or buy secondhand). I support good public education and universal health care so that people have an opportunity to do what they want.
I also don't assume that I know what's best for people individually. Each person can make their own decisions and take accountability for their own actions in the end.
My contention is that if more people thought about the ethics or inappropriate contentography and applied the same ethics to it that they do to their everyday life, there would be a significantly diminished market.
Have you seen the working conditions in China? I don't think it'd make a big difference. If people don't care about where their shoes come from (despite their ethical standards), why do you think they'd be concerned about where their inappropriate content comes from?
This pales into insignificance though compared to my next point, which is that if more women knew more about the actual workings of the industry and what it can do to those who "choose wrongly" (out of those who choose freely) there would be a substantially diminished workforce and a significant reduction of suffering and regret.
Be that as it may, you'd have to show the actual workings of the industry (the legitimate industry) rather than the studies of prostitution and illicit operations.
Making it illegal whilst there is still a significant (ie. multi billion dollar) market for it would be a disaster and would increase human suffering.
Sex sells. To make it not sell, you'd have to make it totally unappealing.
Prohibition, as illustrated in your own country, simply teaches a populace that crime pays but organised crime pays really, really well.
Are you talking about Prohibition, or the war on drugs?
