Pornographer's job is to hook you. Why do women in porn wear different colored shoes. Why this camera angle or that angle; why those lines, why that setting? These are all calculations made by pornographers to hook people.
Porn companies employ many psychologists for a purpose. Scripts are written and scenes set not just to turn people on but to mess with your unconscious and hook you. Pornographers want your money and they want it to keep you coming back.
Do I respect people that are manipulating me playing to my weeknesses in ways that I might not be aware of?
Am I breaking rules of the forum by calling a black car a black car? Maybe the problem here is simply the word respect; I don't know? But pornographers are hookers trying to hook everyone that watches. And there is definite intent and calculation in that goal?
Does someone who is no longer a drug addict respect his ex pusher? I don't know? I don't think it is disrespecting someone to point out that the black car they are driving is in fact black?

That's a good analogy you make of how hookers get you addicted and keep you coming back for more, keeping you "hooked".
However, just a historical tidbit from my years of American Civil War reading. The term hooker didn't come from any reference of keeping clients and johns hooked. They actually got their nickname from Union General Joseph Hooker, commander of the Army of the Potomac in 1863. He became so notorious for having multitudes of prostitutes in and around his headquarters, that his soldiers nicknamed them "Hooker's Girls", which then got shortened to "Hookers". The name stuck obviously.
