You pose an interesting question. I think that, if the models/actors are at a legal age to be participating in such activities and are doing so of their own free will, there is nothing wrong with it, at all. Whether or not you choose to view their activities is up to you and your moral constitution, but provided its all legal and of the person’s own accord, why is there anything wrong with them doing their job?

Firstly, i think most of the posts here have delved away from the topic already. The reason why pornography is considered taboo in the first place resides in its concept (it is something perverse, in the Catholic sense, that is) and not in the age of the models.
Having said those, pornography, whether or not the models are of age or not, will still be pornography and will therefore get the same treatment or reaction from the people who will view it.

Hey alinrai.
I would have to agree with and refer to Scarletta. After that, all that is left for you to do is decide whether or not pornography is your thing. No shame in enjoying it. The "actor's" usually do =)
Africhika (nice name btw) are you confusing sex appeal with pornographic film?
Mighty odd place for my first post hahah...HI EVERYBODY!

I agree with Scarletta - if no laws are being broken, and the actors are participating consensually, then it is "OK"
The answer to "Is pornography OK?" is definitely more muddled, as some posters have alluded. For instance, in Japan, certain types of pornography are openly enjoyed in public (example: reading erotic comics on the trains).
Africhika - like stiiixy, I have to agree - sex appeal is different from porn. in fact, i'm sure that there is porn being produced that is for women ONLY. the problem isn't so much that it's a chauvinistic industry (although it is), but that the overwhelming number of consumers are males. As a business model, you sell to your biggest audience.

From my experience, all to many girls like watching porn with their partners. Spicing things up, get some idea's, whatever.
The only time I've ever heard of conflict from porn, and this applies to many more 'fields of interest' than just porn, is from people who have never really formed their own opinion on it having taken most of said opinion from their parents. Again, I only form that opinion based on observation.
Still, all ali was looking for I'm sure was a clear conscience so he can play with his noodle to full effect

I think also if the models/ actors are consenting and above the legal age then it is fine, but the only other issue that could be raised is why are these people getting into this industry in the first place? Many enter this type of work because there is no other options for them and many other women enter the business because they are trying to put themselves through school (at least in North America I know).
is pornography ok? i think it was mentioned above that porn is often told from a male perspective, but there are individuals who do porn from a female perspective (they themselves are women) and many couples enjoy watching it together.

Interesting issue. Here's my problem: most of the adult women featured in mainstream (and independent) pornography have histories as victims of childhood sexual abuse, rape and exploitation. Even famous celebrities like Jennah Jameson and others admit to this truth. The same is the case for adult prostitutes and strippers. Pornography is often about sexual power, usually in favor of male dominance and degradation of women. In many cases, porn is an extension of the sexual exploitation women have already faced, especially those who have yet to reconcile their past. Men who run these industries often specifically target women who have been sexually exploited, especially when they are also economically vulnerable. I don't know if I am comfortable with an industry that profits billions of dollars each year, literally off the backs of such women.

however the fact that pornography is a way of making easy money cannot denied. pornography has never been only about females being exploited. studies show that male porn actors are paid far less than the female actors. and as long as female actors are not forced and they are happy with the money they get, why do u call it exploitation.

the MAJOR reason why i disagree with pornography is because its always about FEMALES taking off their clothes while MALES stare and drool. it's rarely the opposite way around. i think pornography is just another marketing strategy for males to control female sexuality and sell it to other males.

maybe because males are more sexually active than females are and hence its would be better to make things according to male fantasy. everybody would like to make profit and we would go to that direction where there is more demand. this has has very less to do with female exploiatation and more to do with profit making. pornography - yes it is a marketing strategy. but to controll female...i dont think so. and female actors are paid more than male porn actors.

Amalonoor's post, I must say, is most insightful on the issue at stake. It just shows that there is more to ponography than meets the eye; It is an end product of several dehumanising and devastating experiences of fellow human beings. While not trying to question the freedom of porn models to expose themselves and the right of the world to watch them, I still think that there is a measure of anomality to porn. Those who live for porn materials don't strike me as pscho-sexually balanced. A good anology of what I feel about porn fans is that of animals that live for pleasure. Once pleasure is at issue they can go all out to grab it, at all cost. even at the expense of reducing thier fellow human beings to objects of sexual gratificaiton, and these I must say are numerous. So, Porn Merchants will always have a field day. Talk of blindly, following instincts and you will have the picture I am trying to paint.

Pornography is about exploitation. If you're really economically unstable, you'll go to any end to get the money. It is the law's role to decide how far is too far. Usually my views are a lot more liberal, in letting each person find their own road to happiness, but even if it's their choice, and they are legally adults, they need to be protected in that they are not choosing to be strippers or porn models out of desperation.
Hmm...how about amateur porn?

I think society has a herd time telling peoplea bove the age of 18 what they can and can't do. I am opposed t it if it involves unwilling participants but if everyone agrees what can we really do to stop it?
