"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."

"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.
That makes more sense to me. I'm not a regular watcher of porn but I have a hard time believing all those women and children are proud of their "jobs". I'd guess most are coerced or forced into it.

Porn seems to really be going main stream these days and part of that is due to the fact we can get all manner of naughty stuff on our phones. The other part is how a certain party is normalizing what was once taboo and the kids are the targets.

We saw a porn star that had relations with a private citizen brought to the forefront when he became President. This stuff used to be buried and it still is when you have a "D" beside your name but anything goes when there is an "R".

That Stormy lady even wrote a book that described Trumps bits and the Dems ate it up. Pun intended..



I do think that when it comes to porn the brakes have been pumped a bit when it comes to Hollywood. I have been watching older movies from the 70's and early 80's and I am surprised by the graphic rape scenes and the full frontal nudity they show.

Looking at movies from that era it wouldn't be too hard to imagine what movies would be like in the 90's or today but they are not. I think this has to do with the female actors that put an end to the full frontal nude scenes. Who knows?



When it comes to today I just wish the perverts of the Democrat party would just leave the kids alone. They have plenty of time to figure their real gender etc..

I guess I suspected you would blame the Democrats. A very convenient whipping boy.

Wonder who created the porn industry in America

Porn is very old. I have seen ancient pornographic paintings in the ruins of Pompeii.

I think every action as a reaction. And psychologically I think there will be ramifications that we don’t yet fully understand to pornography permeating the human psyche to the degree it has. The same goes for social media and whatnot.

It will be interesting to read the literature in say 2070 that can fully interpret a very distinct time in human evolution…the birth and explosion of technology connecting people via the internet. Let’s call it 1998 to today. Really not that long of a period — not even 25 years yet.

Rape culture?

Really?


Let me break it down for you.

They are called exhibitionists and, being adult females, they get paid to "exhibit".

They do it because they like it.

The world's **** shamers don't like what they do, but that is to be expected.

That is totally subjective though.


People in the 1930s considered 'showing the midriff' to be EXTREME/criminal even for some!


Go even further back in history and it gets much more conservative...showing ankles, calves, etc was considered extreme at one time.


Notice how all of those things are widely accepted today, and Id say most people laugh at the fact they were viewed so harshly in the past!


Same thing will happen in the future too...the 'things' we consider to be extreme or criminal right now...(will at some point, be widely accepted and probably celebrated), that is just human nature, its obvious all thru history.


Can anyone point to an example when this has NOT happened? I cannot think of any.

Yes, but that has not been the case for too long!


Take for example, old movies that showed the bedroom, it was a big NO NO to depict only one bed (for married people), that was viewed as very extreme not that long ago, there were always 2 beds, and they were separated...


But here again, over time, people became desensitized to that and now, I doubt even the most conservative person finds a single bed in a movie to be offensive or extreme! Heck, today, even some sex scenes are fairly tame and very much acceptable...like 2 married people lying in the same bed, even with clothes on! LOL (people in the past would have went bonkers over that!)
