and porn is harmless fun that never exploits anyone
browsing the times website, i came across this column which made me see R.E.D.
yes, david aaronovich, let’s all pretend that prostitution is a fun and sexy lifestyle choice rather than the sad symptom of a society which reduces women to a series of body parts designed for male consumption. let’s agree that women who’ve been abused shouldn’t be encouraged to stop serving up sex on a plate, but that we should say ‘oh well, carry on then!’ instead.
that seems reasonable…
or so ANNOYING i can barely speak for spitting feathers.
one of those.
arrrgh!

I am not a prude, by any means. The older I get, the more i believe that prostitution and porn influence all of us in a very negative way.
You said it well, Di.

Thanks Suz - that’s it *exactly*. I oppose both on more of a spiritual level, believing they denigrate all of us as a species. x
