Pornography

Here I speak of the use of pornography, and the people who take part if the formation of pornography. I think we do need to establish a difference between creators and consumers here, as they do what they do for different reasons. I confess, I have used pornography, as I'm sure the vast majority of people have. There is hardly a shortage of it. I do here 25% of the entire web is porn based, although the truth of that or not I do not know. What I do know however is that it is often seen, as creator or consumer, to be an act of 'being bad'. But why? Again, I feel that this act in either case is is not 'being bad', for the same reasons as say cannabis use. Whom do the creators and consumers harm? Of course I do not speak of people who are forced into porn, but of the mainstream industry. I can think of no one they harm. And in the case of the consumers, they do no more than that which nature, frankly, requires us to do. I personally consider chastity to be immoral, and masturbation not for that very reason. Given that creators of porn, and users of it, do not harm anyone... and that they do perform an act of nature in using it, how can this be seen as being immoral? Even if, probably, a little embarrassing.
