You bring up a very good point. It is certainly one of those conflicting things in life. I'm reminded of the line from Godfather Part II, when Michael Corleone reminds the senator that, "We are both part of the same hypocrisy."

I do believe that porn has caused a lot of problems for our society, and that it's really distorted and twisted our view on beauty and expectations of how we expect women to look. It's put extreme pressure on younger women, and there's no question that porn is affecting relationships in negative ways.

But, as scoundrel said above, and said so truthfully, yes I am trying to have it both ways. I'm a hypocrite and I totally admit it! I can sit back and articulate a thesis on how much I dislike porn's effect on society, and yet I download it, view it, and masturbate and get off to it constantly, just about every day.

I completely respect pornographers and I completely respect the models that do the work for them because I am personally benefiting and getting huge enjoyment out of it!

How on earth could I disrespect their work when I'm personally taking pleasure from it? For that part of the issue there is no ambiguity. I might recognize that porn causes problems, but I can't disrespect those who produce it, not when I'm getting off to it and consuming it! THAT would be arrogance of the highest order.
