The problem is that it isn’t food, it is not like eating lunch. Porn is a screwed up degrading industry, it is prostitution, and it is unrealistic to expect the pimps that make it to be responsible or respectful of the people they are prostituting for money.
Consider this hypothetical. Let’s say 50% of the persons/prostitutes(or whatever you want to call them) involved are good at concealing pain of all kinds but are very broken people and working in porn for them is a horrible experience that involves suffering and conflictedness, 20% of the others are indifferent about it and don’t see it as being anymore soul-crushing than being a cashier at a grocery store, and the other 30% are horny all the time and love working in porn so much that they would probably do it for free(which is basically how the real world porn industry portrays the people involved). Would you be comfortable with masturbating to it knowing that there is a 50% chance that each person you are masturbating to is suffering, isn’t loving themselves, and or is conflicted about what they are doing and that is what you are taking pleasure in? One may say “But it is not certain that I will be taking pleasure in brokenness rather than genuine unconflicted ‘sluttiness’!” Then I ask? What odds are you comfortable with? If 90% were broken people would you be comfortable? Let’s be very charitable(unrealistically so) to the porn industry and say that 10% are broken people and 90% are unconflicted happy nymphomaniacs… are those acceptable odds? What about 1% and 99%? It seems abominable to me to take pleasure in suffering(abominable describes such pleasure rather than the person) I think it would be pretty dang naive to think any less than 1 in 20 were suffering as a result of being in porn. I do not know whether the majority currently suffer greatly as a result(I suspect that is the case) but because it is sin, I don’t see the possibility of it being a legitimate job and people participating in porn without consequences. They may not all be poor helpless victims(some are literally forced into it though) but those who are not are likely addicts(not so different than us) or even cold blooded(but that can not remove their dignity or justify objectifying them, etc) Don’t buy into the porn industry that tells you that all these porn stars are just having harmless fun, they are broken sex addicts or psychopaths or something at best and at worst they find it extremely degrading(although that may be preferable for their sake since at least then they will accept that they have a problem and desire to leave).
