I'm sorry but what I'm going to say isn't going to settle well with a lot of people, but I reserve the right to state my opinion. If you can't handle a person's opinion with respect, then you do not need to be on a public forum.
If you buy regular adult magazines and other merchandise from the adult entertainment industry, you are supporting child pornography as well. No one likes to talk about that or admit it...but a lot of the industry who are in the adult entertainment business are in it solely for the money...and child pornography is where the real money is. It's not really about sex...it is more about power and the abuse of power. Somewhere along the way, we've lost sight of the real victims of pornography.
If you own a Playboy magazine, you are supporting child pornography. Simple as that. Anyone that says the industry does not support child pornography in any way or shape or form is an idiot who needs to be slapped in the face of reality. Wake up, people. Porn is money. They don't give a shit about who gets hurt as long as the money is rolling...and the cameras will roll/snap as long as there's a demand.
The psychological aspects of pornography is really scary. It starts out that the person gets stimulated by softer porns, even as soft as a bra advertisment on a commerical. Eventually the mind becomes bored and the person craves "harder" porn...by the time the person graduates to hardcore porn, s/he becomes almost immune to it. Some people take it to the next level. It's like a drug.
Some people say, "It's not real. It's just play." And that mindset is EXACTLY what leads people to problems related to sexuality, rape, and other issues. Anyone who says that rape is not about sex but only about power and anger is wrong...while for the most part it is true..there have been cases where it was purely about sex because of sexual disorders.
