lots of porn is problematic. so are history books, mystery novels, romance novels, mainstream art and political parties and nobody’s banning them. the problems manifest in porn do not originate in porn.
Came across this in their “why porn?” section and it’s so relevant to me right now! I’ve been having discussions with many people in my life lately about various kinds of sex work and why I am pro-sex work.
There is nothing inherently wrong with sex work. There’s a lot of problems with how it’s executed in our society, but like this quote says, that’s not exclusive to porn (or stripping, or prostitution). You don’t ban ALL MUSIC because Robin Thicke is part of it.
