Pornography: Harmless entertainment or dangerous sin?

There was a classic scene in the movie "About Schmidt" where a topless Kathy Bates gets into a hot tub and attempts to seduce Jack Nicholson.

Porn or not porn?

Kathy Bates is an amazing actress. She is also an overweight 50-something woman with saggy boobs. She is well respected in the industry, with an impressive body of work, and unlike many young actresses who give up a boob shot in an attempt to advance their careers in Hollywood, she did the boob shot in this movie for comic effect and because (I think at least) she thought it would be fun. It was most certainly done of her own free will, and she was most certainly not being exploited or denigrated in any way.

The moral of this story for me is that I dont define porn in terms of which body part or sex act is or is not visible on the camera, I define porn by who is or is not being exploited, denigrated and objectified.

I didn't find Lisa Bonet in "Angel Heart" pornographic because the sexual scene she was in matched the intensity of the rest of the movie.

I always think of Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes and the hand mirror incident. Never can pick up a hand mirror with a straight face anymore.

Integrity, the sex industry has been around a lot longer than "American culture".

" I admittedly was wrong and today I view pornography as a great evil in the American culture and increasingly in global culture.

Pornography is boring after the first few seconds, or pages. Its so fake. To each their own. It does not need to be controlled in any way. Anyone silly enough to engage, or have the time, have worse problems, IMHO

And anybody convicted of producing it needs to be taken out behind the courthouse and shot in the back of the head.

Why such an easy out for a producer?
My idea to take care of this problem is too violent and explicit for BC.

Some dirt bag mother sold her 18month old daughter to a piece of vermin.

Sexual sin? Is this a bible thing?
The way I see it,most folks are normal,with a healthy desire for sex.
The internet can offer explicit sex scenes that most of us only dream of.
I don't buy the exploited women aspect when it comes to online porn.
These girls know what they are doing and make good money doing it.
Comparing some lonely dude getting his jollies looking at naked girls
to some pimp in Chicago abusing them is two different things.
Another thing...I find the word porn offensive....
it's sex ,porn is what sexual deviants exchange...
If porn is two people having sex then the whole world
is Soddam and Gamorrah
