I agree with you that porn is not innately degrading to women. What is wrong with nudity - especially among consenting adults?
That said, I can't watch typical American porn. Seems like there has to be guns and violence mixed in there somewhere. What's that about? Besides, the models or actors look so sad and sickly. I mean, I would pay not to look at them.
Yet I don't have a problem with the soft european-style "simple nude" approach. I don't think the typical model is being "exploited" - although I might feel that way for paying to look at it. But then I feel exploited by a Shania Twain video, the 20-minute workout, or Betsy Russell in "Private School".
And I don't get the degraded, exploited, "sex object" argument. I have a "relationship" with, I'm IN LOVE with, Zuzanna from Brno, Czech Republic. I'm the sad and exploited one. She's smiling all the way to the bank, when not working towards her PhD.
