I agree with you except on the bolded. It's not like the old days of even 20 years ago where a young girl may or may not have been a willing participant. Nowadays the huge majority of them are all in, and proud of it.

I agree with you. They for the most part are totally willing. My point is IMO it degrades women. Most of the stuff today is pretty hard core. I think young men grow up watching porn and having an unrealistic view of sex. To each their own.

There are cool new avenues, such as text-based interactive stories. I'm not touching VR though; good luck to whoever partakes.

How is that so with the sex slave trade increasing. Do you have some links that support this to save me from searching?

I have been there in my teens and as a young adult.

It's totally toxic to one's spirit. Seems like you are defending the practice.
..on point...did you ever wonder why when the Israeli's seized Ramallah in April of 2002, and took over the four television stations that service the area they immediately started to broadcast pornography 24/7 on three of the four outlets?...they know what porn is...and what it does to the psyche and the soul...

"Pornography" used to be a legal description of obscene materials which could be banned by law. Now the word just means objects of a salacious content.

That was before so many 50 year old males were wanting 14 year old girls for sex, and if they did, they knew better.

Lets goooo.
I think the case being made is more the "sky is the limit" very soon. Many are concerned about the issue with underage girls. It is my understanding from being in a forum where this was discussed that with the major industry that porn is, they attempt to introduce something new (guys, underage that are supposed to just look that way) to keep the addicted coming back for more. I have seen posts by women who have caught their husband watching gay porn, yet having no desire to take part in it, so it was explained that all of this is carefully planned out. Get some interest in underage girls, and push that pedophiles should be able to help kids explore their sexuality. Nothing to do with Sharia law.

Ah, no. That is the attitude put out there that conveys that "no" doesn't mean "no". Geesh, I have more than a couple posts here at C-D saying that girls won't give it up anymore, like they have a right to "it".

It is unlikely that can be supported, but the opposite can be:

Those are the only girls/women willing to be like the sex slaves in the porn videos. If there is a demand, someone will find a way to fill it, a rule of a sucessful business.

https://humantraffickinghotline.org/...ex-trafficking

"In 2019, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) estimated that 1 in 6 endangered runaways reported to them were likely sex trafficking victims."

https://fightthenewdrug.org/by-the-n...ing-connected/

"This is a comment we see on the regular about porn and sex trafficking. Many think the porn industry and sex trafficking industry are completely separate issues, one being a harmless pastime and the other being an illegal activity that only happens in faraway countries. Absolutely not so."

"The truth is, porn, sexual exploitation, and sex trafficking are more closely linked than the average consumer may realize."

Great site for those that can admit they can't stop watching: https://www.recoverynation.com/

I know, no one is addicted to porn. They can stop whenever they want.

There's really nothing new in porn. Even the fringe fetishes(excluding things explicitly tied to new tech) you can find examples of in 'vintage porn' back to Pompei on back to ancient petroglyphs.
