Pornography poll

Should pornography be bannes? If so, is it because or partially because it exploits women?

You need to take a class in basic economics. The price of a good or service is determined by the interplay of supply and demand. Nobody out there is paying extra for a service for no good reason.

Yeah, I thought I stepped into, like, a portal to a new dimension where economics was inverted or something.

Again, that makes literally no sense. Women shouldn't get more because there is more demand. Women DO get more because there is more demand. Demand for work and lack of workers causes wages to rise. The reason there are more women in the sex industry then men is because there is unequal demand... More women are wanted in porn, or obviously there wouldn't be so many more women in porn then men. Obviously, only so few men are desired. (Unless you are gay, that is, but it's a while different market).

So just to be sure, we are saying paying someone based solely on their gender is OK?

I don't care about pornographers making money, if they don't like performers having full rights over their sexuality then they can find another job instead of pimping.
When other jobs coerce you into doing something you don't want to do, the big difference here is that you are not being raped! Why is that so hard to comprehend?

Why is it not kidnap when your boss forces you to go to his building to work everyday because of a contract and you say "boss, I changed my mind." "But we have a contract!" "Now I told you I dont WANT to go. You want to coherse me into going there against my will? I will sue you for kidnap! "

To say that men shouldn't be paid at all for their work is sexist.

I am not saying they shouldnt, I am just saying that in this job, sex do counts as something.

Iin most other jobs, it really doesnt matter.

If tomorrow all men would be willing to do poorn for free, sure, it d be possible that they wouldnt get paid. Then again, I dont see that happen, so, that.

Not sure what you are saying. From what I understand, porn is paid per sex act, but men are paid much less than women for the same sex acts, such as straight sex between one male and one female, the female would get paid 800 to 1000 dollars and the male would get 100 to 300.

In this case, we are paying people based on their ability to stick things into some part of themselves. That's a relevant skill in porn, and harder to find than people who want to stick things into others.

Why on earth do you think pornographers would pay women more than the minimum they can get away with? Aren't they in the business of making money?

The woman's job is more dangerous. Not only are women at a higher risk for contracting STDs, they are also risking pregnancy and internal injury. More dangerous jobs generally attract higher pay.

Now that you mention it. I watched another interview with a porn actress and she said sometimes pornographers would try to pay her less, making excuses like they have a low budget and can't afford to pay her that much.

It's not consent if there is coercion (i.e. Threats and intimidation).

So if I go out in the town and offer a woman 1000 dollars to have sex with me, forgetting prostitution laws that is, and she wouldn't have had sex with me if not for the money, you are saying that woman just got raped?

I watched an interview with max hardcore (my god I really do hate this guy, I really do) anyway, he was laughing about this porn actress on his set for bursting out crying and acting hysterical. He continued to film her mental breakdown as part of the porn and made her finish the scene. I really hope he dies a slow and painful death!

Yeah I don't like Max Hardcore either. He is controversial and hated even within the porn industry. His brand of porn is illegal in the United States, which actually says a lot considering how difficult it is to get something deemed obscene.
