I think that, like with everything in life, there are reasons for both sides, and somewhere theres a happy medium. But I'd like to pose a question, If I may: What about drawn porn [commonly reffered to as hentai, on the internet]? If there are no real people being harmed or exploited in it's development? Also.... how do we make the distinction between pornography and art, in certain cases, such as with Lolita?

Just a warning, I have not read this entire thread, If either of these issues has come up before, please discount this.

As for my personal opinion.....

I agree with Maven. A high level of pornography has shown to reduce the rates of sex crimes in certain countries. I'd like to beleive that nothing is wrong in your own mind, as long as you don't end up acting on your thoughts if they're harmful to others.

But then again, thats what I think.

Have a nice day.
