The sex trade is completely different as that's organised crime getting involved in supplying a demand for something that is illegal. Whereas porn is legal, and big business, and it's hard to see how such a big business would be tolerated if the majority were all being forced against their will, or blackmailed, or desperately doing anything to feed their heroin habit.

    There's a parallel with the likes of us. Some would say we're exploited by employers looking to abuse us and deny us our employee rights, and some would say the life of a contractor is pretty miserable - lots of commuting, no paid holiday, no security, getting the crapest seat in the office, etc. etc. Whereas we say "wahayy look at my wad!".

    It may be naive to think there aren't abuses, but equally I think it's naive to think there aren't people who do this perfectly willingly and are happy to put up with what may be a miserable job for the cash, just like we do.
    That's an interesting take on the moral position, after all we do have pimps and sell our services to any punter willing to pay the price

      Do you worry about wearing clothes as well ?
      My tailor always seem pretty happy.

      I don't worry about the pron industry (you can see I voted no). I just see it as a pretty sad way to make a living. I don't see the attraction. I can accept that some of the participants are willing and enthusiastic; however, I find it hard to believe that such people are anything other than a very small minority.

      I'm appreciative of the female form for sure , but pron, to me, has nothing to do with eroticism, sexuality or beauty. (Or education!)

      As far as contracting goes - I certainly don't see it as a miserable job. It's great!
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        Quite, I don't think Belle de Jour the research scientist was being exploited

        It's not like they can't get a McJob if they want one, they choose to earn more

        Just like contracting it's a lifestyle choice and not for everyone
        Doing the needful since 1827
