Is consuming pornography good or bad for society?
Post Body

I dont know if this question goes here, but here it goes.

The subject is that recently I've been thinking about this question, and I got to some positive points and some negatives. So I would like to know what other people think about it.

Also, this is about all porn: staged, amateur, homemade, hentai, etc. It is all related through websites, ads and interests after all.

The positives:

Porn media help to normalize sexuality, wich is a toxic taboo in our society, because can, and do, make people feel bad, ashame, etc, about something that is natural and normal. Only this can be its own topic so I'm letting it there.

Studies have shown that porn consumition decreases sexual assaults. I havent seem much of this matter, but I've seen this affimation in several pages. If I recall correctly It has to do with sexual impulses being released through porn instead of the real thing.

The negatives:

Porn is not something that isn't fully regulated, as almost everything on the internet, but with porn things get a little more intense. It can be cases of people dragged to the world of porn filming, against their will, totally or partially.

It can even be seen as a form of the problem of prostitution, where people get in a situation where they cant get out, and find themselves trapped and you could say even enslaved.

Also there is the case of pornographic content of people upload against their will.

All of this is very aggravated by how sex is something very intimate in our society

My conclusions:

Maybe the consumition of porn would help destroy the taboo. This could help to make it more a regulated thing, a less obscure part of the internet. It could also help to diminish the type of enslavery I talked about, and also, it would be less of an intimate thing, wich would make all kind of sexual aggresion less painful (I'm talking about what I already said but also all kinds of it).

In the other hand just not consuming that type of content would simply diminish the demand, and so, the problems that comes with it, but maybe the more obscure the matter becomes the worst.

So here I am, I think this is a real problem for some people and I would like do the right thing, even if it just helps a little.
