Porn is dehumanizing. It reduces people, and mostly females, to a very narrow set of values, and all of them subservient to the sexual desires of others. Okay, forget the "those taking part" phrase, I think the vast majority porn is dehumanizing to all women, just like performing in blackface makeup helped proliferate racism and racist stereotypes.
I agree. However, I do not think that is the sole fact that it shows sex, but more how the society thinks about sex now. Porn, like any media, is a mirror of the society it was produced in, and yet also influences that society at the same time, reinforcing bad views. That is the main problem I have with it. It teaches people bad sexual opinions.
I agree that there are major issues with a lot of porn being produced today; probably most of it. Commercial porn in particular is quite bad in this regard. However, I think the bigger issue is the underlying cultural values and not the porn itself. As society evolves I think porn will definitely change for the better, but I don't think it will disappear or even decline.
I think this. I think that people will get more calm about the subject of sex, but I won't disappear while we are still human. It's more about making people think about it in better, less mean ways.
