Now, I know we writers need to make a living too, and sometimes, yes, we are paid on a per-word basis (isn't that silly?). That said, I can't resist what could and should have been the short and simple here - personal opinion, mind you.
1) The only issue I have with porn are those sick minds utilizing, illegally, underaged children for the images, and those willingly/knowingly viewing such images. They have problems that can not be resolved, just like sexual predators - not thru therapy, surgery or pharmaceutically. Such persons need to spend their lives behind bars (or give them the death option - I'm totally ok with that).
2) Adults, those who offer up their pornographic images (or actions), and those who view those images or actions, have done so, legally. It is as simple as that. And c'mon, women's bodies have been treated as the beautiful specimens they are since the beginning of man, and now, society is catching up to it with the same appreciation of the male specimen in many of the same ways. Works for me.
3) Addiction is addiction, and some, like my former chocolate addiction, wasn't in need of an intervention, however, if you are addicted to something that is affecting your ability to function on a day to day basis, maintain a job, costing you a fortune, etc., then clearly you need help.
What more possibly needs to be said?
