Anarchy in Ethics: A Tribute to Traci Lords

Anarchy in Ethics: A Tribute to Traci Lords

I admit. I am a porn consumer. Not a happy one though. Honestly, I feel rather ashamed that I look at it. I saw my first porn magazines as a kid, and never stopped. Essentially, it is legal prostitution. It is nice that there are mechanisms that this industry employs to prevent the spread of disease. Some people are suited for it, and others go into it because they are broke or abused. Traci Lords speaks out against it. She was a former, “Porn star.” She is quick to point out that people; especially the women in this industry are hardly stars. It is prostitution and it is a degrading business. It is nice to know there is someone that helps people get out of it and acts in provision for those susceptible to it. This is nothing short of amazing for someone to leave the industry and start a genuine family. Women do not mix with pornography or prostitution. The proof is how much aging occurs among those that participate. The formula is in young, and out looking much older than your real age. This is a shame. What a waste, and it is only going to get worse in poor economic times. People in the industry will be less careful with whom they make a video with. There will be more demand for weird stuff and more people in the industry trying to make a buck. Growing up, the magazine, “Barely Legal,” would have never happened. There might have been a few attractive women in the industry. As a youngster, I saw a few videos and they were generally rather average looking women with a boob job. I used to go to strip clubs before I married, and I always stayed away. I preferred natural boobs to a disproportionate body. I think half of the men that go to these places are misogynist. They like the boob job because it is disproportionate, and that women do this is humiliating to them. I hate that. I read Traci’s book. It was very interesting, and no doubt, she included her first encounter with a child like man because then the book would sell more copies. We need to eat. Likewise, she commented that that story was porn.
