So what are you suggesting? That we abolish the sex industry altogether?
Practically speaking? No. Ideally speaking? Yes. It might be possible to eliminate trafficking without putting a stop to the industry, but I think there is something inherently wrong about objectifying human beings.
What’s next? Subject all human beings to hormone-inhibiting drugs unless it’s with the express purpose of procreation?
People survived for thousands of years without porn. Granted, they had prostitutes. But also, speaking as someone who has never done porn or had sex, but whose hormones are very much alive and well, I think a little bit of self-control is far more satisfying than simply giving in to every desire.
Another reason I believe porn should be destigmatized is because once you decide to enter the world of pornography that pretty much closes the possibility of moving on and doing something else, although there are a few stories of performers who left the industry and have had successful post-porn careers, such as Sunny Leone and Sasha Grey.
Is it porn that should be destigmatized then? I think it’s perfectly possible to destigmatize having been a porn worker without destigmatizing consuming porn (and without stigmatizing having strong sexual desires, which is normal and healthy).
