I think the person was reiterating my point that MOST of the available porn is Amateur, Home Made. There are no credits or disclaimers regarding age or anything else.

Amateur---your fellow Americans, the ones you stand in line with at the store & P.O. & bank & etc, yep, they think it's fun to film themselves and/or each other engaged in sexual activity, and then posting it online.

And although the filmed participants are willing to be filmed, I am not sure all of them ever agreed to having the clip uploaded for the whole world to see, and I am not sure if they know those clips are up there now.

I enjoy sex. I don't have any sexual hang ups. I talk openly and honestly with my children about sex, childbirth, periods, relationships, STDs etc.

I choose not to watch pornography for moral reasons.

How does any of that make me a prude?
Do you morally also refuse to buy clothes from Walmart or chicken from kfc?

And even the professional was just a working prostitute who got extra by allowing her clients to film them. Not the porn star of the 70s and 80s making a cheesy film with sex scenes included got replaced when video tape rentals started.

I do not buy anything from Walmart. I haven't shopped there in nearly 8 years or so. I don't eat chicken from KFC or Purdue.

I shop as local as I can for as much as I can.

You're right there are no disclaimers on that type of porn which means someone could be unknowingly be watching a minor.

That's always the danger with it. Usually online sights require id's and birth certificates now though. That's obviously not going to stop the non professional stuff though. However, you can usually tell when someone isn't the age of majority. That old line "She didn't look *insert age here*" usually doesn't pass muster.

And my point was how do you know for sure? You don't. Anything in any disclaimer could be a lie. The video could be stolen. The participants might be professionals. They might not be. They might or might not even know they were being filmed. Some of them might be proud, liberated feminists. Some might be single moms trying to make ends meet. Some might have been abducted into the sex trade or brought to the US from some other country to "get married and become an American" only to find themselves pimped out. I do think that a majority is at least consentual. But I also think that the well contains some moral poison and you will very rarely know if you're consuming it or not. And for most dudes, they don't care. Most guys I've known, including my husband, view it as a consumable commodity and just don't trouble themselves much with the lives or circumstances of the human beings on the screen. I know some guys who figure that any female who even has sex deserves anything bad that could possibly happen. I know some guys who act like a woman who doesn't preserve herself to be the protected property of one man, is garbage and deserves no rights or respect as a person. And honestly, for those men, porn I think feeds that mentality just fine.

Of course as I mentioned, you could watch a lady like Asia Carrera, who is very wealthy and successful, and lives life on her own terms, and be pretty assured that whatever she did, she completely consented and it was all on the up and up. A few of these folks do incredibly well for themselves.

Or you could always watch hentai I guess.

But when it comes to the "amateur" vids...those in particular I think are just unknown. They might be OK. But they might not. And I don't see how you're going to know, unless you actually know the people involved, and talked to them about it.
