  1. Lomaliza jean pierre: No man is an island, and the choices you make will reflect upon ones family and their honour. This delusion that we're all completely unconnected "individuals" just end up hurting people (especially impressionable young women preyed on by porn agents). Humans are social animals, with social codes of conduct. Violate those codes of conduct and you end up hurting both yourself and others.

  2. That will never happen, because sex workers attitude towards sex is too deviant and violates normal peoples values surrounding the subject.

  3. Master Debater: Yes, morals are subjective, but they're not irrelevant. It's self-evident that certain set of morals are more widespread than others. People who believe that selling sex for money in front of a camera is a decent, and upstanding thing to do are in a clear minority compared to the ones who consider it a taboo. And unlike the morals surrounding exposed ankels, this idea is not going away anytime soon since prostitutes have been a despised class of people almost all over the world throughout recorded history.

  4. Christopher Nelson: But most societies are not composed of people like you. Most societies are composed of people that do take issue with it. You can wish for it to change as much as you like, but the probability of that happening is slim to say the least. If young women wish to function normally in society, then they need to stay away from doing porn. Either their own values will lead to psychological problems for them (because far from all porn actresses are as "fine" with doing porn as others are), or people in society around them will have negative reactions to their choices which hurt their future options. People need to prepare themselves for what the world IS like, not for what they would prefer it to be like.

  5. Christopher Nelson: I'm not proposing that society is right or wrong. I'm a scientist at heart. I only deal in what IS, not what I or other people think it "should" be. Moral arguments and discussions about them do not really interest me because you can't scientifically prove one set of morals to be more "right" than another. What I can do however is make somewhat accurate observations about prevalency of moral ideas. That some are in a majority while others are in a minority. And if you decide to stick to ideas that are considered taboo by tje majority, then you will have to pay a price for it and suffer.

  6. Christopher Nelson: Everything about humans bottles down to functions of biology. Including human psychology and the social behaviours, norms as well as taboos. If you look at sex and attitudes towards sex from a strictly evolutionary perspective, then promiscuity in women is a clear deviant behaviour and has quite valid explanations as to why promiscuity in women is discouraged. This because women can only produce a limited amount of eggs through their ovaries during their lifetime, whereas men can produce sperm cells at ages where the majority of women are completely infertile. Also, pregnancies in women are relatively long and usually only result in a single offspring. And when the baby is born, it also require years of nurture and protection in order to mature to adulthood and become self-sufficient and be able to carry on the genes of it's parents. In the modern world we have access to birth control in the form of contraceptives as well as abortions. But these inventions are relatively new, and it would be naively optimistic to assume that human psychology and behaviour should've evolved fast enough to take birth control into account. In a fully natural context, women can't control pregnancy. In nature, women have a survival imperative to be strictly selective regarding mates and only invest her limited eggs with a worthy partner. For men it's completely different. The genetic survival strategy for the male gender is to impregnate as many women as possible in the hope that some of his offspring will survive to adulthood. This is what is known as "sexual conflict" in biology. Women and men, on account of their different reproductive organs have different strategies and clashing biological interests in how they pass along their genes. And from the male perspective, there is also a biological justification to avoid selecting a long term mate who exhibit signs of promiscuity. Because if a man does settle down with a woman who sleeps around, then he also risks wasting his nurturing efforts on offspring that doesn't belong to him. Once again, scientific acheivements allows humans to test if offspring is really theirs, but we can't assume that our psychology and social instincts have been able to evolve fast enough to "catch up" with these recent inventions.

  7. Christopher Nelson: Well on a personal level, I think all people should have safe working enviroments. Which is why I oppose things like making prostitution illegal, since it creates much more dangerous situations for sex workers than a legal, taxed and regulated market does. But this concerns physical safety. You can't eliminate the potential social consequences and impact that a person encounters by involving themselves with the sex industry. Not through legal means at least since it would invariably require violations of freedom of speech and freedom of opinion.
